Cite that an ant-4th amendment judge was accused of rape.
I STILL see people defending the church, and even recently a priest that was at my own parish when I was a kid* was accused. My own father, who’s so angry about the whole scandal that he’s refused to continue to donate or volunteer anymore, still at first said it was probably just someone making it up.
And no, it wasn’t just the Bill Donahues that said, “how DARE you accuse the church!” I still see lots of editorials and letters in my newspaper claiming it’s all a lie, just an attempt to smear the church. 
I don’t know about belief necessarily, but when a man comes forward about being assaulted by a female teacher when he was young, he’s often told, “hey, man, you got lucky!” Or, oooh, her? She was HOT!"
May not be quite as bad, but it’s pretty messed up.
*Considering that the allegation goes back to when he WAS at our church, I’m terrified at the notion that it was very likely one of my friends.
It’s exactly as bad. It’s gaslighting, just not from the people doing the original attack. That when the response isn’t “no way”, which also happens.
There’s now a man accusing Cory Booker of sexual assault. We’ll see if that develops far enough to test the OP’s hypothesis.
I don’t believe it’s a concrete situation to test the hypothesis. It’s a low profile man accusing him of sexual assault, I had to google this after you mentioned it to find a couple news articles about it.
Ironically there are people like Donald Trump JR, believing the man was sexually assaulted out of spite for Booker’s stance on the kava hearing. So I guess my hypothesis was proven true in your poor example to test it.
She didn’t accuse Kavanaugh of rape. Nobody she named remembered the party so there’s no evidence any of it took place. If such a party existed she didn’t warn her best friend of the danger she claimed she was in.
Your premise that nobody believes she was raped is severely damaged by the fact she never made the claim in the first place.
I don’t understand what you mean by “low profile man.” Christine Ford was not a high-profile person, either. Besides which, in what way do you believe profile affects credibility?
Certainly the accusation against Booker has gotten almost no press coverage, but what does that say about whether the accuser is being believed?
Do you believe him? Why or why not?
