New Cain Accuser Steps Forward with Detailed Allegation

A Chicago woman just told reporters that in a 1997 encounter with Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain in Washington, D.C., he reached under her skirt and tried to pull her head toward his crotch.

A Cain spokesman calls the story "more false accusations."

It boggles me how so many can come forward and still people are like "oh those lying women, look at them go!"

This so much. Especially because when a woman starts talking about sexual harassment she's suffered she gets branded as a liar, golddigger, or other hurtful things. There is no way someone wants to get dragged through the mud just for freaking funsies.

What's really mind-boggling is that if the woman say that they are sexually harassed people keep saying "Well there's no proof," and if there is proof (i.e. audio recording or video recordings) the same people will go "Oh well why did she record in the first place if she didn't have nefarious intentions."

It's really a lose-lose situation.

Right?! It's like, if a bunch of people are coming forward, don't you think it's more logical that this one dude is lying rather than all of these women? I'm not saying that if there had only been one it'd be right to be suspicious of her, but once you get multiple people, "What liars!" stretches credibility.
