BILL COSBY ACCUSED OF RAPE

[HairOfTheDog]

I'm a little bothered that I don't have any compassion for these women. I don't know why that is, I have a heart. Sometimes I put myself in the shoes of others in hopes of having a better understanding but it doesn't work with these women.

You've plenty of times posted your low general regard for other females (except those of us at Mock), along with your strong dislike of the word "victim". Maybe that's part of why you can't really put yourself in their shoes and/or feel any compassion for them?

I like other women in general and don't have a problem with the word "victim' when applied correctly; it's efficient. I do, however, strongly dislike (and call out, obviously) those with victim mentalities who position themselves as having been unjustly wronged rather than accept responsibility for negative reaction to their own actions.

I think most of the women who've come forward are legitimate rape/molestation victims. Still, I don't necessarily feel compassion for all of the women violated by Bill Cosby either.

I feel extreme contempt for Bill Cosby, though. If some/all of the allegations are true (and I'm certain, personally, that they are), he targeted, drugged and raped scores of women over the course of 40 years; he lied about it and successfully used his power and influence to get away with it.

Regardless of how one feels or doesn't feel about about the women or one's understanding/acceptance of the many reasons already repeatedly posted as to why they wouldn't have come forward before, it's interesting to me that more than a few people who believe he's guilty still wanna focus on what the women should or shouldn't have done and not on what Bill Cosby did.

If you believe any or all of the allegations, Bill Cosby is a sexual predator and a rapist; cutting him slack or giving him a pass is suggesting that's okay or that it's not that big a deal. I don't share that mindset; it's discouraging (to me) that so many apparently do. But, people are discussing this case and maybe that will help affect change there, which is cited as a primary goal by many of Bill Cosby's victims.

Anyway, it doesn't matter to me that his last known attempted rape was 10 years ago, or that he's a famous man who'd projected a moral image, or that he's 77 years old -- I think he deserves the kind of delayed non-systematic sentence that's being made possible by the women he drugged unconscious/semi-conscious and violated without their consent. He is a raging Mother Fucker, a hypocrite, and a con man, IMO. I hope others like him are sweatin' bullets right about now.
