Do you believe women or will you demand proof?

Does this apply to the women in your life? If one comes home and says some lad stuck his hand up her skirt but the only evidence is her word, you'll just dismiss her?

I think distressed disclosure to one person that you know and trust is a very different scenario to just throwing something out there to the mob and letting them cast their own aspersions on a relatively small grouping of people.

I don't believe anyone without proof and a tweet doesn't cut it. That's why we invented laws and courts of law. Anything else is mob rule.

Can you point to one thing I said that shows I either want to believe it or trying to convince myself or others that it happened? Otherwise kindly apologise

you havn't said you dont believe her. i assume you must fear saying you don't believe her.

The timing makes the vague accusation sound like a targeted strike against the new government.

The tweet doesn't say it's a government politician. Could be opposition. Could be an MEP or a foreign politician.

Either go to the Garda or talk to someone or get therapy for it. Twitter is not the place for it.

To just randomly post insinuating allegations years later seems like the least effective and most immature thing to do.

This is precisely as dopey as automatically believing the allegation. Without evidence the only thing that can lead to the conclusion, is bias and prejudice.

what is prejudice is assuming the man in question actually did sexually assault her. #ibelievehim

funny i was thinking that exact same thing about the woman who posted this allegation on twitter.

i dont believe a word of it..and no attempt by you to publically shame me for that opinion will change that fact. its fabricated lies..pure and simple. highlights all thats wrong with social media and twitter in particular.

ive seen enough false allegations made against men over the last few years.
we all know what the agenda is at this stage...

That's fair enough and you make a good point but the jibe about her posting a pic and being a ride was tasteless.

So according to the OP we are suppose to automatically believe a randomer on Twitter with no details, no proof?

Well, the tweet didn’t even involve the detail of a name so why get so het up?

What if there is no proof?

Hypothetical: Let’s say I was raped a year ago and only able to come forward now due to the trauma.

There is no physical evidence now. No proof, as such.

But in this hypothetical scenario the rape absolutely definitely happened. You want proof but there isn’t any. It’s my word against his.

Should I be allowed to speak out? Name my rapist to the Gardaí? To my own friends?

Or do I have to put up and shut up forever because I didn’t have the strength to report there and then?

so theres a lady by the name of Sarah Ashcroft who claims to be a victim of Tom Hanks. she clained he bought her for sex at 13 years of age. Would you believe her?

Or , another woman by the name of Cathy o Brien, who claimed to be raped by Hillary Clinton at a young age, would you believe her also?

Shocking if true, what's even more shocking is the amount of replies saying 100% believe you and #believe you etc. Scary to think we live in a society where people blindly believe anything that's tweeted.

while I find your post crass, I think its no surprise the account doesn't have an actual picture, its like those Facebook profiles with sunset pictures who post racist comments , all false.
