Eh. I'm split about this. I see what you mean, because of the position of fame and money he is in. However, statistically, women do not lie about being raped. Plus, also with his position of fame and money, he can get away with anything because he could always just pay his way out. So I don't know. Don't really care either, he payed his way out, he's happy and out of jail, she's happy and got money. Nobody really lost, it's not like he doesn't have enough money.

And statistically, very few rapes ever go to court, and very few rapists actually are convicted. I'm not seeing where this extreme sexism is coming from. I think there is a sexism assuming that all rape victims are women, and that all rapists are men? But I don't think policemen go out trying to get somebody convicted because he's a man? I don't really know what you guys are trying to say by using the word "sexism."


something burning?
