Should celebrities accused of sexual misconduct still be innocent until proven guilty?

Asked by Demosthenes (14921points) November 29th, 2017

Because to me it seems like it’s the other way around.

A female friend of mine observed this:

A lot of women throw themselves at rich men. They get their attention in order to get what they want from them. The men get used to this kind of attention so they just start acting this way with most, if not all, women they find attractive. Then something like this happens and all the women, both the ones who did not want the attention and the ones who did, get on the bandwagon.

To me, it seems unfair. I’m not saying that the women are lying, but I think maybe there’s more than just “patriarchy” at work in creating the system where men who are in a position of power or influence feel like they’re “entitled” to certain women.

Also notice how if the men accused are in the media, they are swiftly punished, but if they are in politics, nothing happens.
