lookninjas says it better than I do:
And then, if you're lucky enough to find yourself accusing a well-known public figure like Julian Assange, It gets even better. Because then everyone hears about it, and the speculation starts. WikiLeaks groupies! Golddiggers! CIA AGENTS! Everyone from Michael Moore to Keith Olbermann to ignorant fuckheads on Gawker will go on and on about what a slut you are. What a liar you are. What a conniving, golddigging bitch you are.
What makes me sickest is that there's so much speculation of well, no maybe it didn't happen and she's making it up. That it couldn't possibly have happened, because, well, he's famous. (I wonder why I'm having a flashback to Polanski?) Where is the speculation that, oh, perhaps women don't like making these statements? Don't like having their name dragged through the muck? That for once, can we please, please, believe the victim before the aggressor?
