    Now I get it.
    You disagree because you rely only on your emotions
    It is physically impossible to commit a crime OJ was charged with.

    That is root cause of all problems, people do not use their brains for thinking.

    1. What hard evidence?
    2. Can't be charged with what?
    3. Wrong, so wrong. It seems the only exercise you're getting is jumping to conclusions. I'm a woman, and while I'm not a lesbian, men like you often make me wish I were.

    Don't bother replying. You obviously didn't follow this story or read the trial details, you're simply parroting the rhetoric of misogynists like Hannity and Limbaugh, and many incels who are clueless about women.

    Agree, i'm quite puzzled to be honest what the thought process is with some posters, its like they hate women or perhaps their ex wife was a monster and they had an ugly divorce.

    Granted, (don't flame me please) I've had my own doubts and criticism of "some" of the complaints in this case, the Cosby case and some others that were obviously not quite as drastic as those two examples. Primarily my issues is that if someone was violated on some level then returned over and over because that "violation" was apparently not so terrible enough that they wouldn't go back for more because they wanted something in return, once they return a 2nd, 3rd time, then IMO it can become more of a consensual/something in return type situation and the motivation then and now should be questioned seriously, but those are NOT every complaint, just a couple.

    With that said, once you go past 1 isolated person/incident and get into a dozen(s) or more then my opinion goes back to the fact that this man is a pig and an embarrassment, and should be punished accordingly. I also trust that the jury had access to ALL the information, not just the headlines or cherry picked examples that make the victims look bad. I hope that makes sense.

    I was watching Outlander the other day, they nailed some kids ear to the post, I thought that was a pretty good idea, and Harvey has pretty big ears, it wouldn't be hard. (then hang him)

    Some of the more extreme Islamist nations agree with and practice your idea. Do you think we should hang 14 yr olds for theft or should we just chop off their hand ?

    Incels, more likely. Insecure in their own manhood, hence the accusation that if you disagree, you must be a homosexual. Men like that just assume that a woman who is dismissive of him must be a lesbian, or else she'd be eager to jump his bones. It's so common, it's a cliche.

    A mans greatest fear: that she will laugh at him.
    A woman's greatest fear: that he will kill her.

    Understand the vast gulf between those two fears and you understand why so much abuse goes unreported. That and the fact that if she does report it, she'll be publicly doubted and vilified.

    thats pretty generalized, my wife laughs at me all the time and knows that she has nothing to fear.

    anyway, I hope he hates his remaining years in rikers and cries himself to sleep for years.

    Seems like the gays have more fun than incels. So go for it, I guess.

    Guilty by accusation - is very bad legal standard.
    It is very naive to think that this standard will by applied only in rape cases.
    That is my thought process.
    No matter how guy is bad, if you allow the system to prosecute people solely on emotions, in near future you might be the next victim.

    That's different. She already loves you, so you don't fear her laughter. The type of guy I'm talking about is not a majority, but there do seem to be several on this forum, just based on some comments.

    Weinstein may be guilty.

    But many men were convicted of sexual misconduct based on accusation since 1980s. Currently, about 980,000 sex offenders are on lifetime supervision and 230,000 are in prison. We do not know how many of them are wrongly convicted. Given that convictions based on accusation have been common for the last decades, the numbers may be up 10% or more.

    The saying that "men are afraid ... women are afraid" is an extremely manipulative way of shutting up 90% of men who see themselves as providers and protectors. Men are afraid of losing their career/freedom over a tweeted accusation. At least 60% of male managers are afraid of false accusations.

    As for the subject of this thread -- yes, Weinstein is likely guilty. Yes, based on the precedent many innocent men who can not afford good lawyers will be convicted.

    Strangely, someone who advocates for victims, yet makes rape jokes.

    Are you aware that incels is a phenomenon created by the U.S. government, namely people like you?
    Yea, if you happy with your wife it is great, but you never know what might happen tomorrow.
    Since you have given her an unlimited power she can strip you from all assets and also accuse you with sex abuse and persistent rape.

    Yes, he is guilty by accusation.
    The accusation came from woman who has long term relationship with Weinstein.
    I emotionally do not like Weinstein, but he is a political prisoner and an example of male discrimination.

    You do realize others don't believe "rape" is just a part of life as you apparently do. It does change lives forever. Though some of what the animal did was consensual, it took on an entitlement attitude which became rape.
