These women, even in the current climate, are aware that coming forward is going to result in harassment and death threats. Who's going to go through that knowingly out of spite?
I didn't handwaive anything. My point is not to argue that the accusations are true or false. My point is that it is terrifying that all it takes is vague accusations + a mob assumption to permanently brand someone as a rapist. Whether a given instance turns out to be accurate isn't the point. The problem is that we've gone from "not believing women" to "always believing women no matter what," which is the wrong reaction. If the standard is only "some of these accusations are true," or even "most of these accusations are true," how is this different from say, racial profiling by the police?
I'm pretty done. There are so many problems with so many things you've said and I don't give a shit enough to point by point address them. Same reason I usually ignore people with your opinion on Twitter. I'd tag out with _refugee_ but I think she's content to ignore you as well
I'm not really sure why you felt the need to tell me this. Congrats?
So at first I was thinking that you don't care what I say, but of course if that were true, we wouldn't keep having these conversations where you vacillate between engagement and "you're too wrong to engage with." I don't know you well enough to go any further, and that's fine, and you certainly don't owe me any explanations. But if I'm even remotely correct, and what I say matters to you even the tiniest fraction, I'll say that I'm always willing to listen to what you have to say.
