(1,931 posts)I don't know if it's patriarchy or something within men (and I am one) that predisposes many of us to horrible behavior, but there's something. Sure you sometimes see a woman who commits sex crimes but it's pretty rare and that tends to play out for a lot of crimes.

(81,688 posts)Why do they need to drug women and rape them?
Not sure about sex.
About power, control, cruelty, violence.

(114,118 posts)I really liked Swalwell. I feel almost as devastated as if it were a close friend or family member whose very ugly "real" life had just been fully revealed to me.
What will be, will be and justice must prevail. But, just with Cosby and so many others, I am just done. sigh...

Absolutely horrific.

(54,106 posts)complaint was he was too much of a nice guy. Too much of a boring milquetoast kind of guy. If all this is true, he's the exact opposite. Wish some of the questions would be answered like why it wasn't brought up before the last election or the election before that or the election before that? At least a hint of the rumors which people are now saying existed amongst his colleagues should have seeped out. It's hard to comprehend. One day nice guy, the next day felonious perv.

(69,444 posts)I think there will be more. People who drug and rape other people usually don't stop at only three or four victims.
