In general I agree but the timing of saying this is peculiar given the E.M. trial.

What’s the EM trial?
More ironic than peculiar.
Ghislaine Maxwell's case got reopened. Cuz if there's no Epstein list than why did she go to jail?

The Hockey Canada Sexual Assault Trial. The woman who was involved had the initials EM.
Some Quotes from the woman judge who presided over the case: “Although the slogan ‘believe the victim’ has become popularized of late, it has no place in a criminal trial. To approach a trial with the assumption that a complainant is telling the truth is the equivalent to imposing a presumption of guilt on the person accused of sexual assault and placing the burden on him to prove his innocence. That is antithetical to the fundamental principles of justice enshrined in our constitution.”
“On the basis of all the evidence, I find as a fact that the complainant did express she wanted to engage in sexual activity with the men by saying things like “Is someone going to f—- me” and by masturbating, the judge says.
“I accept the overwhelming evidence that E.M. was acting in a sexually forward manner by masturbating in this room full of men and asking them to engage with her. She communicated her willingness to engage in sexual activity.”
Kids got raped and now you’re saying it’s their responsibility to jail the rapists? No.

Money and government are in the way. Person to person, who the fuck wouldn't believe the woman?

Well…
If the justice system didn’t have a systemic massive unjustified distrust of women, and it spontaneously reached the peak of equality on this specific metric, then there would probably eventually be a higher rate of false accusations.
And then we’d eventually end up with a latent mild justified skepticism of all sexes, and then we’d still end up needing objective evidence.
So it’d be kinda self-defeating, except for a handful of glory years. Now would be a fantastic time for those glory years, no doubt, but it’s not a long-term solution.
Wow you just rode that sucker into space immediately
