You obviously dont believe them as it stands now so what can they possibly say or do that would change your mind?
Must they lay bear their entire lives and have every choice analyzed to ensure it meets a certain standard?
What was the lighting? What were you wearing? Why were you alone?
What gauntlet must they beat? What crucible is sufficient?
The crimes against me were years ago and I was very young and I very little vivid memories of what happened. I just remember the fear, anxiety and shame as vivid as any actual memories of the physical events.
My attackers were caught in the act but for many that doesnt always happen.
I dont kbow if these women are telling the truth or not but how people feel about their statements is very clear.
To me its like the myth that people are living in style and enjoy being on welfare. No one that has ever been on assistance has ever enjoyed it, no more than I would think that a victim of sexual assault enjoys exposing themselves and their every action to the criticism and analysis of complete strangers.
