DISCLAIMER: I have been on the Cain Train since early May. He has had and continues to have my full support.
That being said, I have watched the statement of Sharon Bialec a few times and tried to listen with an open mind.
Divorcing the accusation from the accused, and from years of observing human nature, I am drawn to one inescapable conclusion…
Her story is NOT consistent, and therefore must be dismissed with all due prejudice.
The deciding factor for me was the series of events she presented.
Following drinks and dinner, with no provocation, Mr. Cain…
1. Put his hand up her dress reaching for her genitals.
2. Pulled her head toward his crotch.
3. Then took her back to her hotel “right away” with no further advances, after she said I am not interested.
GIVE ME A BREAK!!!
The type of man who’s first unprovoked move on a woman is to reach for her genitals and try to force her head toward his crotch is not the type of guy who is going to be stopped cold by, “What are you doing? You know I have a boyfriend. This isn’t what I came here for.”
The type of guy who shows this type of unprovoked aggression is not going to be fazed by the first or second “no, don’t.”
This type of guy is going to persist a bit more. There will be a, “Come on baby, you know you want to”, an attempt to pull her close, to kiss, some pleading.
He may not be a rapist by pure definition, but the type who has this aggressive of an opening move IS going to wrestle a little.
He has already objectified her by his actions. He is not all of a sudden going to be snapped into reality by an, “I have a boyfriend”.
These are MY initial impressions, I could be totally off base. I would like to know what women think. What have been your experiences?

So, you don’t believe this victim because Cain didn’t seem like enough of an ass in her story? Are you sure you’re not on the crazy train?
