I don't think this is evidence of changing times. This is a particularly shocking and disturbing case, but people have always been capable of such deplorable acts, and doctors have always been people. So, as already stated...
How long did it take you to make that?
And why did you?
The right side of the tweet reads "created @ faketrumptweets.com" so I don't think @JoeyB was actually trying to fool anyone.

Nope, not buying it. I notice this anytime a woman accuses a man of any misconduct. There is a pervasive assumption that the woman is lying while the man is innocent and victim of a diabolical plan to "take him down." The very least is to keep a neutral stance in these situations/accusations/alleged crimes and not to take either side until evidence is examined and proof is brought forth.
You are acting like bizarre things dont happen all the time. "Truth is stranger than fiction." And I dont understand how a doctor doing what he did seems so utterly far fetched to you. If it were, there would be no need for chaperones in medical practice.
.....God forbid they entertain the reality of the sexual minefield PEOPLE OF BOTH SEXES find themselves navigating in the work place, in bars, on the streets, supermarkets, gyms, air planes . . .
You just wasted keystrokes. There was no need for "fixing." Women disproportionately suffer this in comparison to men and to try to deny this fact is idiocy.There, fixed that for you.
true but a minefield for bothYou just wasted keystrokes. There was no need for "fixing." Women disproportionately suffer this in comparison to men and to try to deny this fact is idiocy.

All of this exactly. What happened here was a closing of ranks. The mostly male commentators here identified with him. There is no epidemic of false accusations of sexual assault, at least not anymore than false reports of other crimes. People would rather believe a highly improbable vast female agenda against the good doctor. God forbid they entertain the reality of the sexual minefield many women find themselves navigating in the work place, in bars, on the streets, supermarkets, gyms, air planes . . .
Oh please, doesn't change the fact that many of your male peers are sleezy and indeed prey upon women inside and outside the medical field. The evidence has been brought forth and the man is guilty as charged (no surprise).Sorry RooibosTea, but you're just plain wrong. And it's not even close. Every man on this board has been accused multiple times of sexual impropriety multiple times. They go to varying extents, but we have all dealt with it. It's usually an insane person shouting that you assaulted them when you literally haven't been within 10 feet of them before asking for haldol then never hearing about it again - but it has happened to everyone here several times. Sometimes it has gone as far as a letter to the medical director. I'd say I've had a dozen women accuse me of sexually assaulting them (none of whom I had been anywhere near) - not a single one has gone past me saying "yep; my name is Dr. TimesNewRoman, the medical directors name is Dr. Director and the chair is Dr. Chair. I can get you the number if you like."
I know a physician who had charges pressed and quickly dropped - it was insane, but it wrecked his practice for weeks while they looked into it. If this wasn't an immenent harm, do you really think we would never do an exam without a chaperone? I love slowing down the department to find a female tech or wait for the nurse to be free!
Seriously, don't create a bogus account to push your agenda and speak to a topic on which you are either ill informed or just don't care to believe the facts.
When did I ever accuse "all" men?Knock it off. Blatantly accusing all men of sex crimes is downright pathological.

I also know a colleague who I think was wrongfully accused of sexual assault, but I've never been accused of sexual impropriety, certainly not multiple times--certainly not a dozen.
I'm not sure, although coming into a forum just to agitate could be grounds. Then again, I ain't no mod!Banhammer?

Implicit bias in the forms of sexism and racism remain very serious problems in the world today. That being said, I don't think that the above posts are likely to move us towards a solution.
Most of all, I do not see grounds for banning. To do so would only support the (false) accusation that we're "closing ranks" around a sexual predator.
Disagreeing =/= agitating
Then exactly how many is "many of your male peers?"When did I ever accuse "all" men?
Pet peeve: When people try to make a point about some social justice inequity, to people who neither created the problem, nor are able to solve it.
Cool. My pet peeve is people who can't see how they might unwittingly perpetuate some social justice inequity, nor want to discuss it.
