I can, the fact that your response to the FRA issue is to talk about
mistaken identity proves only that you cannot even identify the issue.

What further explanations are necessary Ann? You think that no women
make false rape accusations, you think that they really were raped and
simply identify the wrong man, a mistake for which you hold then in
no way responsible. The bottom line is that the TR regulars always hold
women above responsibility, unless malice can be proven, and even then
it's not at all clear what they would do. But at least they can
identify this specific case as a case of wrongdoing.
