Utilitarian morality requires that I turn my face away from the people I propose to sell out: Monica Lewinsky, Tara Reade. This is agonizingly hard for me to do. Pretending not to believe the complainants — which is what is taking place with Ms. Reade — or that they’re loose nobodies, which is what much of the media did to Ms. Lewinsky, is just an escape from the hard work of moral analysis.
And it adds to the harm. How is feminism advanced by casting a reasonably credible complainant as a liar? Better to just own up to what you are doing: sacrificing Ms. Reade for the good of the many.

Today, the Trump-Pence ticket looks even worse. Mr. Trump, credibly accused of rape [wrong] and a confessed grabber of women’s genitalia [with consent], and Mr. Pence, who will not dine alone with a woman other than his wife [possibly the opposite of rape] (whom he calls “Mother”), combine both Mr. Starr’s and Mr. Clinton’s belief systems [dozens of trips to Epstein's Island, and a painting of him in Monica's dress], offering voters in one ticket the full spectrum of misogyny. Mr. Biden, that relic of the good-old-boy Senate years, seems positively benign by comparison.
I will remind you that Tara Read accused, and has been accusing, Joe Biden of digitally raping her with force for several decades. Not just "I regret us fooling around", but him being a creep (impossibru); her rejecting his advances; then him grabbing her arm, forcing her against a wall, shoving his fingers inside of her, and telling her that she liked it. So, you know, actual rape. She made an initial police report and everything. The author believes Tara Read was raped; but did you know that Pence doesn't have sex with other women? That's even worse.
This is also a reminder that Utilitarianism is evil, and barely a valid ethical framework.
They seem to have ignored the point that one is a serial hair-smelling creep since his whole life, and the other one nobody had said a bad word about until his confirmation. Hell, Kavanaugh is still non-confrontational from what I can tell, compared to the others.
I agree with the lefties that you have to assess plausibility, though. Neither believing all women nor disbelieving them all is the correct attitude. And people are welcome to believe whatever they want, but if they keep harping on it I'm going to call them retards. It's not the end of the world.
Isn’t it nice to live in a world where an accusation is taken as the gospel truth
Meanwhile, Tara Reade's accusations against Biden still get ignored by many.
"I believe you, but you need to shut your mouth."
Damn, was that a real response?
Mostly, the original response I'm paraphrasing was this:

I remember a leftie site trying to explain why the accusations against Kavanaugh were credible but not the ones against Biden
Cardi B admitted drugging and robbing innocent victims.
Is still monetized and promoted on youtube.
Pathetic. And they will defend that
chris brown was convicted in court.
still on youtube and monetized.

I agree, but you can blame metoo for people being skeptical of accusations now
Trial by Twitter.
I fucking hate leftists with every fibre of my being.
