Yeah, right.

And how do *you* know? You've never even heard me tell the truth! ;-)

Sickened. I used to work with his wife...had been to their home, though I never met him.

I’m siding with the USAF veteran male.

Assuming he's the one telling the truth, it's nice to see more men standing up and fighting back.

And it's about time.

Now if they would just band together and fight back against this openly biased school system that openly allows girls to assault their sons, there could be class action lawsuits worth millions.

Women who falsely accuse men need to pay twice the penalty that the falsely accused innocent man would have paid.

No bias in those photos - she smiling in uniform like a publicity photo, he in blurry pic out of uniform with a drink (of who knows what) in his hand.

I think almost any hotel, particularly the nicer ones where pilots stay, have security cameras throughout the hallways. 95% likely the alleged rape would be in her room or his. So first we have her testify which room it was then have the hotel provide the security camera to see who went into who’s room and when that person left.

Now a timeline is established and one has to figure out if the activity could have taken place in that timeline. If it couldn’t, she’s lying.

If he entered *her* room, he made a big mistake even if he’s innocent because she could have just as easily charged him with stalking or sexual harassment. Men should not enter the woman’s room for any reason in a professional interaction because of the legal jeopardy it creates.

If she entered *his* room, it dilutes her case because she then has to explain why she entered under her own power and went inside rather than waiting at the door. Did she make any suggestive gestures while on camera?

Workplace sex, while common, is really stupid and the pilot may have made an expensive mistake even if he did not rape her by leaving to open to appearances. However, if he stayed in his own room and she made all the advances, it makes it harder for her, absent of physical evidence, to make the accusation stick.

Guys who travel with women on business trips really need to act like a pope and not give even the appearance of impropriety.

How do you lose your job twice as hard. No, minimum of a felony 5 years in prison and $1 million fine. Sorry the #metoo movement has been compromised by crazy beeotches. Too bad because now the ones truly wronged are now not going to be believed.

That’s an ED. I would expect a higher percentage of real rape cases there. In the corporate world, It is extremely unusual for a rape charge to be real. It is usually a case of an eager younger employee who has willing sex then is coached to take advantage of the situation by claiming rape.

In the current environment, false claims probably outnumber real ones 25-1 or more. The incentives to do so are real, and the deterrents to false claims negligible. It has primarily become an economic weapon for women to use against their male competitors.

Female airline pilots are notorious drinkers. Many women pilots celebrate being accepted by pouring lots of shots until falling down drunk.

Well, feminist groups like to say that only 10% of real rapes (sometimes less) are reported. Let's stipulate that that is true. But against that, 100% of fake rapes are reported.

Say that 100 women are raped, only ten of them choose to report it, but at the same time ten other women decide to file fake rape claims for revenge or material gain. That's a 50-50 ratio of reports, even though the fakes are only 10% of the actual incidents.

The feminist groups are thus lying with statistics to minimize the serious problem we have in this country with with false reports.

After being drugged and raped, she called police and filed charges right?

“The lawsuit also states that Pina was previously involved in a similar incident during her time working for Alaska in May 2017, during which she reportedly “drank too much, blacked out, then later blamed others,” the Times reports.”

True enough.

So, after being drugged and raped, she did what?

Drugged with what? How? If she remembers then she wasn’t incapacitated. Was it good for her? What’s the evidence? He said/she said doesn’t work.

Julie Swetnick (who accused Justice a teenage Kavanaugh of doing same to her and other women) may have the answers to all of the above or maybe not. :-)
