How “he said, she said” always benefits “him:” What does it mean to “believe women”

I have very little faith in the mainstream media. However, I have to say that after watching the recent interview between Mika Brzezinski and Joe Biden, Mika comes off quite well and Joe quite poorly. I’d encourage you all to watch it.

If you do watch it, I think it's clear why Mika comes off so well: she basically hammers Biden for 20 minutes about Tara Reade.
