You don't have to believe me, sister

It's true that actress Elisa Mouliaá has the right to accuse a man of sexually harassing her. She has the right, later, to recant (due to pressure or whatever). And she has the right to accuse him again. But it's also true that when she says she wrote to her friends that night that he had harassed her, she's not talking about "proof," but at most an "impression." And it's true that the judge was rude to her, but he was no less so to him.

If a friend, a daughter, or any acquaintance in my circle told me that she had been raped or that some creep had groped her or made inappropriate advances in a position of power, what I would do is convince her to go to the police. Not on a website. And I'm sure her other loved ones (male friends, father, teachers...) would convince her that it's what's needed, because it's simply unacceptable, for the good of society, that a man like that should be allowed to roam free.

Naturally, someone might talk about parallel trials against her, and they'd be right, because I'm holding one myself. But in cases of sexual harassment (against a woman), a parallel trial is also held against him. Between Vox's "They all lie" (a cry that makes us furious enemies) and "I believe you, sister" (a cry that makes us women immaculate beings of light), there must be an average, and that average is justice. No, it's not true that they all lie, and those who say that deserve to be taken by the arm to a police station in the middle of the night so they can see the state some girls who have been assaulted are in. And no, it's not a good idea to tell just anyone you believe it, because that's tantamount to considering ourselves flawless beings. Are we now going to be given the right to be evil and to lie?
