I think many of these women are telling the truth. I also believe some are lying. I also know and have witnessed how flirtatious women can be, knowing many of these men are married. They send signals to the opposite sex that are interpreted to mean they are opened to immoral activity.
I worry about that a lot Autumn. I call it bandwaggoning/piling on. If you've got a grudge against someone for something just accuse him/her of an awful thing that never happened in retaliation to exact revenge. I don't believe in retaliation/revenge. It harms the person who does it. It's lying and evil and cruel. Women are not perfect. So the truth-tellers get tainted by the lying opportunists. Did you ever see that fantasy movie with Gene Wilder...I think it was called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Anyway there was a scale in that movie on which everyone had to stand who was taking the tour of the candy factory. The BAD EGGS were sent to an unimaginable elsewhere and could not continue on with the tour of the candy factory. I always thought that would be such a good thing. A scale that sensed evil. If all the gals accusing folks of impropriety had to step on that scale we wouldn't have to worry at all. Thank you for your reply Autumn. It's true that some gals dress very provocatively while others are always dressed in a ladylike manner. But that doesn't give anyone the right to force themselves on those who are unwilling. In my opinion. :)
As AL said, many are truthful, some are likely not. Most claims come off as believable but when questioned, some fall apart. (Prov 18:17) In this system, we have outright liars, people with agendas or political bias, fancy talking lawyers that can put a slant on the truth for money, imperfect judges that are often sincere but can only go by what they hear and the preponderance of the evidence presented. Thanks to God and Jesus, this will not always be the case. (Is 11:3)
(Proverbs 18:17) The first to state his case seems right, Until the other party comes and cross-examines him. (Isaiah 11:1-5) A twig will grow out of the stump of Jesʹse, And a sprout from his roots will bear fruit. 2 And the spirit of Jehovah will settle upon him, The spirit of wisdom and of understanding, The spirit of counsel and of mightiness, The spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah. 3 And he will find delight in the fear of Jehovah. He will not judge by what appears to his eyes, Nor reprove simply according to what his ears hear. 4 He will judge the lowly with fairness, And with uprightness he will give reproof in behalf of the meek ones of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth And put the wicked to death with the breath of his lips. 5 Righteousness will be the belt around his waist, And faithfulness the belt of his hips.
