"Europe flips off America"
They've done that for years. Why do we keep sending aid to any European country? I've asked before, how can we divest ourselves of ties with these people who despise us?

I am shocked. Shocked, I tell you, that Hillary Clinton might be a hypocrite!

If she were, then that would mean that she would have smeared and shamed women who accused her husband of sexual improprieties.

And since she obviously told us that all women should be believed then she worked to bring the cases to the appropriate authorities, while suspending comments until she knew the facts.

What? She didn't? Oops.

"The impossibility of disproving an accusation"

While true it misses the larger point. It is accusations by women. Women are given the benefit of the doubt and men are assumed guilty. It highlights the error in allowing women into the military and it makes it obvious that hiring a woman is fraught with risk in any occupation. Do women lie about sexual assaults/incidents? According to stats, yes, about 57% of the time. Why? For revenge, for personal and economic gain and simply because of neurosis.

Why do you think that the Republicans on the committee didn't want to ask the accuser any questions? Because unless they simply took her side their actions in this environment would be construed as misogyny. It is ironic that in America, probably the safest and most progressive country in the world for women that this political agenda is so successful.

Women are not equal; they demand and receive special treatment across the board and the feminist activists want more special treatment.

And everyone laughed at Vice President Pence when he said he wouldn't meet with a woman alone. The feminist movement claims to want everything equal but their militaristic ways prove otherwise. This #me too movement is just another weapon in their bag of tricks. Unfortunately like everything else in our current society, it has become so prevalent, that those who really have been abused will not receive the attention they deserve.

As a woman I steer clear of anything that has the word movement associated with it, I have always been able to stand up for myself and will continue to do so. On a side note I raised three kids and it didn't take a village.

The feminist movement doesn't want equality

THey want destruction of western civilization and specifically the white male.

Let me jump in with a "not all feminists" caution. I've been a feminist for half a century. I don't denigrate men. I want to compete on my own merits, without no one deciding what I'm good at until they see me perform. I expect to take care of myself and pull my own weight. That doesn't mean I want people to pretend I'm as good at bench-pressing as a guy. I can either do things well or I can't. Arguing about whether I'm supposed to be good or bad at something because I'm female is a waste of time.
