Hair, re post #389, well said......
Some of the people who still support Cosby I think just forget that rape is not about sex, it is about power and there was and Cosby gets off on the power. He " sized" up he potential victims just like a bona fide predator....
Many victims do not report sexual assault for fear of being judged (hmm....wonder who would do that?), embarrassment, i.e., they were drinking, they went to his room, etc....they were naive, etc.....so they keep quiet.....yes, for years and years, and then they hear a woman talking about their experience and they say, "hey, that happened to me, too." It wasn't me being paranoid, it really happened. It becomes safer for the victim to speak out since she realizes she isn't alone any longer....Her speaking out is her way of dealing with the injustice of it. It doesn't have to involve money, fame, etc.....and you don't even have to like some of the victims, but you gotta understand that lonely feeling of being alone with what happened to you.
You can't always attribute a devious motive to these victims, and some suggest just moving on....Yeah, most of them did, move on, but there is still that feeling of wanting justice and someone to believe you.....and like we have said before many time, there is safety in numbers.....
I agree with those who call him a sociopath......
