Is acknowledging that money may be a motivating factor in a rape victim’s choice to make public accusations the same as calling them liars?

    "Is acknowledging that money may be a motivating factor in a rape victim’s choice to make public accusations the same as calling them liars?"

    No, of course not.  We are all (mostly) quite astute at what's going on.  Some people though, namely feminists, still like to work off of an old script from before the 1970's that stated that all women were morally superior to men.  And also that for all women, social shame is so huge, that women are rendered down to the dependency of children ... and will not even want to report a legitimate rape against them for fear of that shame.

    When we see so many modern "independent" women that are clearly NOT morally superior to any other women, never mind men, who have no shame of any kind to begin with, then we can make up our own minds about what the true story probably is.

    No, but it shows that the person accusing them being motivated by money does not understand the psychology of rape and shame at all.  The reputational damage of even being a publicly acknowledged rape victim is huge.  What is lost cannot be bought with money.
