I'm pretty sure that the accuser's first thought after hearing about the Gore's split and news about Al having an affair was "Maybe someone will finally believe me." Al has had no problem kicking the US economy while it's been down based on his trumped up Global Warming claims. I have no problem with Al Gore being on the receiving end of any accusations. I want to believe!
Most guys have no idea how grabby and sexually invasive some men can be when no one is around. It’s not something the pervs ever brag about in the locker room and it would never (hardly ever) cross a decent guy’s mind to force sex.
There are a fair number of guys around who do cross the line and a lot of women who never tell a soul about what happened. I would say most of my girl friends have at one point or other been grabbed, caressed, jumped on or worse.
You’re probably thinking it was after they were drinking. No, I’m talking about after a meeting, in a job interview, in a professor’s office and such. They won’t talk about it much but will confide in a girlfriend sometime later. I have one girlfriend who was jumped on by her own (married) pastor! She ran out of his office and never told anyone for 20 years. BTW a few years after the incident the same pastor married her. She never wanted to tell her parents why she wanted to have the marriage at another church.
