Another rape accusation is in the news It's convenient, since no proof is needed, and the character assassination is complete. What will finally happen? Men will be hesitant to even talk to women, dating will be a farce, and every woman will be suspected of dishonesty. After all, if a former date becomes angry, or wanting to capitalize on the fortune of someone they once knew, it's easy to throw decency aside. Anger can be satisfied, money can be made, and the only thing required is the ability to be convincing to those that are hungry for a good news story.
I can't begin to know what women think, but I have a feeling those with integrity know the perils of what is now beginning. Nobody likes being suspected of dishonesty, and knows how that type of perception destroys a healthy society. Social interaction demands honesty, and the raising of children demands a society that doesn't punish only because of gender. A mother with boys will find it hard to explain how society failed to demand only character. A mother with girls will find it hard to explain how society perceives them as suspects of dishonesty simply because of their gender.
A good media would do more to condemn this change, but with juicy stories for revenue, the craving for ratings overcomes any decency. This will only get worse, before it gets better.
I have 3 boys and two girls, all adults. My second oldest just broke up with his soon to be wife. The rest no desire to get into any relationships. Many wonder why the divorce rate is dropping??, none what's to chance getting screwed over.
ReplyDeleteSociety reaps what it sows. From my perspective, there are too many unhealthy choices, and relationships move from partnership to adversarial pursuits of unrealistic goals. For someone that was raised to have integrity, the subterfuge found in partners, after they are married, leads to a bitterness and lack of trust. Marriage isn't a bonding for a common goal, children become pawns, and society becomes more unhealthy.
