Bill Cosby: Pervertius Maximus

Oh yeah, there's no shortage of men out there masquarading themselves as Mr. Nice Guy whilst grabbing the asses of teen girls and subjecting them to encounters they are not ready for or not even sure they want.  The biggest offenders usually wear the biggest smiles.  Of course the devil comes in the form of a handsome, charming, funny, intelligent man.  Otherwise you would be instantly afraid of him..

Anyway, now it's the accusations galore coming in from three decades ago from women claiming they were victims.  This is where women are their own worst enemy.  It's so hard to distinguish the painful, true stories of victims who were told to "hush up" for one reason or another -- usually to avoid shame and humiliation, and the stories of copy-cat-this-is-my-2-minutes-of-fame-on-E! Channel.

As a victim of sexual abuse I know first hand the shame and disbelief we face -- mostly from our own families when we finally dare to speak up.  Sometimes getting the courage to speak up takes 20 years or longer.  We don't need some spotlight seeking betches discreditng and casting doubt onto a social issue that is soooooooooo huge!

Ray Rice?????  There are millions of guys like him.  The camera just happened to be in the right place at the right time.  Still, the stories spin on "how she deserved it."
