If I may?
I understand Donald Trump was crying boo hoo over young men that feel threatened worrying about false accusations. Nonsense. Trump is just trying to find out what sticks politically.
#MeToo is not a political game. It is real and it is primarily women that are suffering, emotionally and psychologically.

BlueStarNavyMom3 (click here) thought she was being clever with her unauthorized use of her son’s Navy boot-camp photo to support Trump and the budding #HimToo movement on Twitter.
The clap back caused her to delete her post, but KT NELSON preserved it for us....
Besides the fact the Navy Mom was embarrassed by her political motives, the idea of false accusations is nothing new. Divorce cases have all kinds of accusations if it is a "Battle of the Roses." False accusations of violence of any kind, including sexual, is an attempt to improve the settlement in a divorce by the aggrieved or in a custody fight.
Accusations can be very real, but, in Guilford County, NC the Department of Social Services removed two children from a home because each parent was falsely accusing each other of being nasty for one reason or another. Both parents were sorry they started the accusations in their divorce declarations when the kids were taken to Foster Care. Public records are sometimes searched for child abuse by government employed social workers that are losing their jobs to private social services agencies that do a better and more compassionate job.
But, as to false charges that manifest into prosecution, there is a way of handling it and it is called "Malicious Prosecution."
So before a girlfriend or wife or both decide to file sexual abuse, harassment, assault or rape charges, they need to know they are on solid ground and usually, police officers responding to a domestic violence phone call can file those charges for the person effected. Women can also file a complaint independent of the police if that is more comfortable or POSSIBLE by approaching the county prosecutor's office or their local police department. If the safety of the person is hanging in the balance it can be handled by authorities to ensure the woman or man's safety.
Women have been second class citizens in the USA for a long time and most have been around that corner more than once. But, physical safety is important and there is a real thing called a stalker.
I was just looking at "Facebook" today and the office video looked very real. A woman was able to convince the man that held her captive in his home that her dog was in need of a veterinarian. He took her and the dog to the vet's office. They were in the waiting room when she decided she had left something in the car and asked her KEEPER to watch the dog and wait for the veterinarian for just a minute or so.
The woman about the age of 20 something went outside and scribbled on a piece of paper that the man with her was holding her against her will and he has a gun. The two women at the desk read the note and the women involved went back to the waiting room where her KEEPER was waiting with the dog.
The women at the desk called the police and five police officers were dispatched. Two male officers came out the door where the vet assistant usually calls clients into the examining room and they immediately limited the KEEPER's movements and pat him down. Needless to say, he was caught by surprise. Low and behold there in the back of his pants was a handgun and it was loaded. It looked like a semi-automatic 9 mm. He was arrested and handcuffed and removed to the waiting police car.
The three other officers came in through the front door and positioned themselves outside the waiting room. As soon as the KEEPER was apprehended they entered the room. One police officer was a female. She immediately went to the women and asked for her story. The women cried and then stood and showed them the bruises all over her body.
The KEEPER is going to be facing judges today that will not put up with sad stories or stories that frame the woman as if she deserved it.
This story is a victory for the #MeToo movement. It is a global phenomenon and it is disconcerting it is within the borders of the USA. The movement is absolutely necessary and it is incredibly empowering to women in the USA and around the world. It is time to make this stand and not falter into oppression by the likes of Donald Trump, the Wall Street Journal, Rupert Murdoch and FOX News.
Women are becoming stronger and there are more and more stories coming out of a society that should be fully ashamed of itself for the way women have been forced into second-class citizenship.
I don't want to hear all the SUPPOSED stories by men of false accusations and I certainly don't want to hear how judges are going light on those charged with these crimes. Enough. No more spiked drinks, no more beatings, no more unwholesome relationships.
Men need to begin to understand they are not allowed to be "robust" in their relationships when demanding sex without mutual consent. I read an article where a mother complained a son would no longer go out on a date without another couple involved. THAT DOESN'T PROTECT HIM. Who knows what the women face with two men now. Witnesses for each other?
The best way to avoid being falsely accused is to be in public where there are many uninterested observers. Strangers accounts are better than friends. So, date "in the open" and go as a couple, but, simply set the tone as the date progresses and neither party should expect sex to occur when the date begins. If consensual sex occurs, I sincerely hope they know each other enough to know the odds of getting STDs as well, including HIV. I mean do we have to have this conversation?
Being drunk is not an excuse either. Drinking responsibly is the social standard and without approaching dying because someone participated in some kind of drinking game in a bar. And college campuses need to be prepared for angry parents and students if heavy drinking is allowed on campus and in dorms. This is the age of responsibility and there is no reason to look the other way anymore.
Needless to say, the legislators in the US Senate that placed Kavanaugh at the Supreme Court are not interested in women's issues or their resolve. Donald Trump ABSOLUTELY IS NOT interested in women's issue and their resolve. We have a president with enough of his own complaints about his irresponsible sexual behavior. It is time the electorate KNOCK IT OFF and act responsibly in the polling booth. Trump and his Senate allies are NOT the answer for any reason.
Enough!
