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."

I just...cannot.

Male sexual nature is a taboo subject, not fit for public airing. As a result, we are naïve about male sexual nature. Despite what we learned in college, men and women do not have identical sexual natures. Men think about sex all the time. I’m thinking about sex as I write this. In fact, I’m thinking about sex as you read this.

Not only do I think Sharon Bialek tells the truth, I think Herman Cain acted honorably once he realized he made a mistake. If an attractive woman flies across the country to see me about finding her a job, I’m not taking the premise of that meeting at face value, either. There’s no man in the world who isn’t guilty of an “unwanted sexual advance."

Excuse me...?

EXCUSE ME??

this would be true if all men raped women.

All men are potential rapists.

Better have the Department of Precrime lock them all away then.

You excel both at missing the point AND derailing. If you can add some more overt bigotry in there - or maybe just a smidge of victim-blaming - you'll be ready for your internet triathlon.

Apologies; I didn't think it was "mansplaining" if addressed at another man.

Leaving thread now.
