Women's names have been on on bathroom walls for decades, explaining their sexual talents or proclivities. With phone numbers. Sometimes addresses. There's even a song about it. A real ear worm.

What's this "accusation" problem? Women are accused of giving blow jobs, 'being easy', 'taking it' in alternative orifices, doing 'it' with multiple males at a time, doing 'it' with females, being sluts, whores, c****, skanks, bitches, holes, dirty, nasty, smelly, 'lousy lays' cheating on boyfriends and spouses on and on ad nauseum--with certain actions so accused no doubt considered illegal.

So we have a whiny rapist issue now?
