Yeah, because that fuckin' me too garbage made it a social sin to ever doubt any woman's claims of SA. Unfortunately, all it did was glamorize the idea of being a victim, and while victims did start to come forward, hundreds of thousands of non victims decided to come forward as well for clout and pity, ultimately taking away from the real victims of sex crimes. Also to note: Rhea, unlike Riddle, does not have a known history with narcotics.

Men don't walk out of their door every day making a safety protocol in their heads in case today's the day they'll get stalked, attacked, cornered, raped--no, we have to do that.
