I understand that people want to stand up for their friends and I understand people not wanting to change their opinion of someone that they've had for so long. What I don't understand is a woman telling anyone that the women, the victims, in these instances should be forgotten. It's bad enough that these women have had to fight to have their voices heard! This post is beautifully written and so important.

I may go in and edit that!<br /><br />"I really can't believe people sometimes. I mean, WTF, it's 2015 and we're still steeped in victim blaming. I have been involved in a thread this morning posted by a friend about the Cosby rape allegations. This thread is literally chock full of women saying that all the "alleged victims" are shady women "just in it for the money" and that all these claims are just new made up stuff. When I challenge back (siting facts) that's these allegations have been around for decades now, and that people are rushing to the side of Bill Cosby because of his fame and this idea that your grew up on Cliff Huxstable so it can't be true....I was literally just shot back at (by other women!!!) that it doesn't matter if he was accused of rape decades ago, because of women don't come out right away an say something, then it makes the claims less real. WHAT....THE....HECK, PEOPLE!!! These are victims of assault we're talking about here! I can't even handle this....how is this even a thing we're debating. How is it 2015 and a women is still seen as "after the money" before we even hear her side of the story?!? And why am I having to debate this with other women??? I quit on today."Tamara Camerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06004696358354444561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12565507.post-44036036837738220122015-01-08T17:24:26.697-05:002015-01-08T17:24:26.697-05:00Brilliant, beautifully written and something every...Brilliant, beautifully written and something every girl and woman needs to hear.
