Don’t Believe All Women, Because Some Are Terrible
"Maybe we should treat people like people:"
[I]if we are required to believe every woman who makes an accusation, then every allegation, simply by the act of making it, becomes âcredible.â This leaves little room for raising questions about honesty and due process, and plenty of space for ideological distortion.
And since ideology abhors nuance, simple narratives come to dominate the discussion when an allegation is made (in Kavanaughâs case: beer-drinking private school boy = bad; beer-drinking private school girl = good). And anything that contradicts the narrative is explained away or ignored (such as, being drunk is damning evidence if youâre the accused man, but exculpatory if youâre the woman who made the allegation).
