I have no idea what or why people think the way they do.
All I know is that, SOME men in power typically abuse their position, whether it be abuse against women or corrupt self serving actions.
We have all witnessed women keeping quiet about sexual assault because it is a very difficult action to prove...therefore, women are typically not believed, so they do not come forward. But when they are finally able to talk about it, whether it be on the day of the sexual assault or years later, no one believes them.
Why would a woman put herself through the scrutiny of having the press tear them apart and basically try to ruin them, their careers and lives? Because they think it is worth the risk to finally tell the truth about what happened
Have you EVER heard a politician tell the truth? The honest truth? So, of course they will deny sexual assault.
Hey, Clinton lied about his abuse of power when he had sex with Monica. He lied to everyone tampered with witnesses and lied to everyone who would listen. Luckily Monica saved a dress that the President of the United States of America ejaculated on.
I wish more women were smart enough to save evidence of sexual abuse. Yes yes, Monica was a willing participant, but, still, it was a political abuse of power with a subordinate intern.
I use that Clinton example because it is likely that the young eger women with high hopes for career advancement typically keep sexual assault a secret as to keep their jobs and not derail the career they worked so hard to obtain. It is only years later that they are secure enough to come forward when they are distant enough from the abuser to feel safe enough to talk about it...in SPITE of knowing the media will tear her apart. That is bravery, not stupidity. It let's the world know that guy is a sexual deviant from a safe distance.
