It is the same mentality as the war on drugs - that no extreme is too far, that any means is justified. It doesn't matter how many innocent lives are ruined.

I predict this Assange case will give feminism a black eye just like the Duke Lacrosse fiasco did.

I was suprised at the nsfw. I mean, i was like "sure this intelligent article wont be nsfw" and i click. Lo and behold on the right of the page is a hairy beaver staring me down.

This is just a snippet from a larger blog post. Read the whole thing when you get the chance.

When lefties fanatically spearhead every rape/abuse allegation leveled by anyone, they are creating an environment that enables and even encourages false accusations from angry parties. While it's a travesty that police and courts tend to not believe people claiming that they have been sexually assaulted, the solution is not to unquestioningly champion anyone who makes the claim. Never believing and always believing allegations are both wrong. Rape and assault are awful, fucked up things, but that doesn't mean claims shouldn't be subjected to any fact-checking or skepticism. Murder is awful, too, and even with our badly flawed judicial system, we still generally try and sort out the facts and give the accused their day in court and a chance to defend themselves.

OMG, that is an inteligent, well phrased, educated and interesting blog. The blogger has my respect, and I am off to read more.

A fanatical belief that every sex crime is true... As opposed to a fanatical belief that every sex crime is false.

That was excellent.

Boy, she sure gets her head smashed a lot.

Is it also posible to dislike both feminism (especially ones that use "sex worker" as if it isn't ridiculous) and Assange? Because, yes.

We've got to keep in mind here that it is extremely unlikely that a woman lies about rape. I think it's almost safe to say that you most often won't go wrong by assuming she's indeed telling the truth. In the case of Julian Assange you've got to admit that two women saying the exact same thing is pretty compelling evidence for him actually having raped them. That is he probably did it.
