Good heavens man, few women, even victims of terrible sexual violence, will willingly subject themselves to the hateful vitriol, slander and recrimination they will face by making public allegations of sexual assault.

You are old enough to know this. When a rape victim testifies against the alleged perpetrator of her rape, her entire sexual history will be dragged out as a way of undercutting her testimony. This is why something like only 5% of rapes ever makes it into court; the victim will routinely be treated as if she is the offender.

I swear, Bill, sometimes you say things that are so backward it suggests that you're putting us on.
