Accused of sexual assault by two women he'd had relationships with.

Twenty years after the fact and she admits to giving consent?

Why the fuck are we even talking about this shit?

I once read online that women talk about sex like something that just happens to them, as if they have basically zero free will or agency.

Bizarre comments like the two you posted really remind of that. They're admitting to consent. The first one claims she was tricked by some psychological mastermind into thinking she consented when she really didn't??? Whilst the other says she did consent but didn't want to do any of the stuff (then why did you consent???).

Imagine consenting then 20 years later retracting said consent.

Women!!

Could be manipulation.

So Neil Gaiman is a hypnotist? He should stop being a writer but a teacher, everyone wants to learn how to hypnotize someone to consent to sex. He can be richer than Elon Musk! I believe the CIA and FBI have great interest in it, imagining you can make someone do anything you want, even sex!

That's not true. There's a high correlation between the pound-me-too people and political inclinations. Most definitely almost every idiot passing around #MeToo and #IBelieveHer hashtags years ago were self-proclaimed liberals and, in the USA, Democratic Party voters. Republicans play their identity politics games as well, but not in this realm.

It's because due to the nature of these crimes/accusations it's often a mans word against a womans. Thus it has become majorly backed by feminists, who are often 'left wing'. They #BelieveAllWomen. They are siding on a gender basis here whilst 'right wing' people are more likely to take a more nuanced approach to these sorts of accusations, sometimes giving the man the benefit of the doubt or rightfully questioning the womans accusation.

For #MeToo proponents, the womans word is all the proof they need. It's a dangerous game allowing one persons accusation to be 100% accepted without question. They operate with a women are flawless belief system, as if the entire gender of women have never told a lie in the history of mankind.

I believe Gaiman was on team believe all women all the time, though I'm not totally certain. Anyway, he seems to have come around to the idea that in certain very rare instances, it is possible a woman could be not totally truthful when making these kinds of accusations.
