I bet a lot of men in Washington, the media, and Hollywood who don't believe in God are praying now.

Well, let the long storied history of prayer doing nothing continue and these fucks get forced out of office, the media and Hollywood.

Oh come on, I'm just WAITING for the Bruce Willis accusations to come in.

I hope the head writers are accused so that they stop that show before it gets even worse.

Secondly when it comes to sexual assault none of it has to do with the looks of the victim or the perp. Psychology is what is going on. 

Your response proves you have no clue what the fuck you are talking about. Sex has very little to do with this kind of behavior. Power is the motive in things like this.

How come all the men accused are ugly as fuck then?

I have a vagina, tits and some ovaries and I can tell you first hand that we women aren't automatically more likely to give a free pass to a man who is conventionally attractive but who is abusing his power (usually as a boss, and married too - as most of these abusers are) to force women into situations involving sex.

Put on a dress and some lipstick - heck, even keep your 5 o'clock shadow - and live as a woman for awhile and you'll see the insanity that passes for "normal" behavior towards women these days.

No need, we can see it. None of us hope our daughters are subject.

Very true. 

Any mention of Neil deGrasse Tyson in this thread? Has an allegation of rape against him and stays silent about it, hoping it'll all go away. If true, fucking asshole.

Or Sylvester Stallone? If true, fuck him as well.

I know one thing. This is most likely not ever going to happen, but theoretically: If I was accused of sexually assaulting any woman, I would do whatever it takes to defend my innocence, because I know what I have and have not done in life. I would have nothing to hide, lay it all out in the open, and let every person read and scrutinize what I have to say. I would give out as much details as possible, all the details that everyone needs to know in order to be as informed as possible about my story, then I would actually demand the accuser to have a chat with me in public in front of everyone, and I would encourage them (the accuser) to say all the things they want to say and note down contradictions in their story and such. I would do everything possible to clear my name.

Not one celebrity thus far accused of sexual misconduct or assault or whatever has gone to such length to defend themselves. They have all been rather lazy in their defense. What does this say about their innocence (or lack thereof)? If any one of them is innocent, why aren't they trying at all to defend themselves in a convincing way?

Definitely Tom Hanks for me. That would be a disaster.

Yep, and again, that is with financial crimes too. It isn't about the physical look of either the perp or the victim. With all crimes it is about opportunity and power.

That's what I don't get.  With all these girls and women being harassed, how is it not an instant 1-way ticket to batting practice with the girl's father?

This is a species flaw worldwide in thinking.

Girls/females worldwide still for the most part, to greater or lesser degrees, get treated as less than males, even if only in pay. 

The long term psychological reason is our majority population is still stuck in old patriarchal themes. Even in polytheism or monotheism, even the Queen, today as back then, be it a ceremonial society like the Royalty of Japan or England, the female is always second in line, just like all of antiquity, and will only gain power as the head if no male option is born or if a male dies.

Even in popular advertising today, there is an obnoxious commercial for a car insurance company called "The General" in which the guy asks the father for permission to marry his daughter. 

Point is, our species still has yet to grasp the idea that both sexes are required and equal, and both men and women die ultimately. We still far to widely see brawn as better than nurture when the truth is neither or an absolute and both are simply attributes of evolution.

Even China and India and Japan have a far worse problem with under reporting harassment and rape. 

Men worldwide simply need to understand that ultimately they are not the top of the chain in our species but merely have different attributes.
