I've worked as a prosecutor.
Multiple women I love has been sexually assaulted. I've seen the damage, + the structural disbelief. I've cried with them.
My starting point is to #BelieveWomen.
But it's not my endpoint. Some women aren't believable.
Tara Reade isn't believable.

Which pisses me off, because women NEED to be believed, and women who lie about such things (whether maliciously or from some troubling emotional need) hurt all women.
But there ARE Rachel Dolezals + Tara Reades. Treat them as broken, w/ compassion. But don't be fooled by them.
