"I also understand why her description of the events might not illicit the same response from you, being White and Male, and probably enjoying a higher standard of privilege."

* Fair enough - and I fit the group description so my individual tendencies may be more suspect(guilty until proven innocent) - I get it. And my insistence that "she could be any one and i would think the same damn thing given the implications of this situation." may not hold the weight I think it does - with you anyway - and I find that unfortunate, but what can I do.

I will admit I basically iced over when I saw this event in the news - it appeared to be fishy in some way - so I did not examine all the nuances through any other lens than "it's likely some form of setup" - whether that be getting caught for something normally allowed by said privilege or in some part contrived. I steadfastly stand by my position that to me, it did not matter who was doing the accusing, that I would of felt the same way regardless. Not sure if that is important to you, but it is to me - as I do not want to be accused of something that is simply not true.
