Women Are Not Too Stupid Or Emotional To Bypass Evidence When Considering Assault Allegations

I am a woman, and I don’t think with my genitals.
I am a woman, and I don’t vote with my genitals, either.
I am a woman, and I don’t need to declare that fact to validate my ideas.
I am a woman, and I am able to consider evidence and ideas without using my sex as a shield for weak thinking, or an excuse for reprehensible behavior.
I am a woman, and just because I’ll never be able to bench press what just about every man can, doesn’t mean I need to take refuge in magical thinking, lies, smears, and identity politics. Women can think just as smart, fast, and hard as men, and I can do it while nursing and gestating new human beings. That’s a woman’s own unique glory, and I’ll stand it against bench pressing any day of the week.
I don’t need people to tell me that because I am a woman the standards of evidence are lower for my claims.
