I would even go as far as to say that the majority of men labelling themselves as feminists or being active in these 'womens rights' movements are predators who are only involved in order to attain sex with women under false pretences or to divert the spotlight from their own past actions.

All through this thread there are men talking about men’s lives being ruined through allegations, with very little talk of how women’s lives are ruined by sexual assault. Again, as confirmed by FBI and LAPD studies, false rape allegations are rare. If you look at the number of women who attend Rape Crisis Centres compared to the number of women who report to the police, it’s clear that victims of sexual violence don’t have faith in the justice system to protect them and prosecute rapists. In a case where it’s his word against here it’s very difficult to prove a case beyond reasonable doubt. The fact that it can’t be proven to that degree because most rapists go to quite a bit of efffort to conduct their crimes in private means most rapists will walk. Is Twitter the best way to raise an allegation? No. It’s not. But don’t tell me women can just go to the gardai and see justice served. We can’t. Ireland has incredibly strict defamation laws so any of the men named on Twitter can sue the women involved if they believe they have been lied about. It’s a much easier process than trying to secure a rape conviction. On Joe Rogan’s podcast a clip from 2011 has resurfaced where Joey Diaz tells a “hilarious” anecdote about forcing 20+ women to give him head in exchange for spots at comedy nights. Even though he literally admits to it (brags about it) on the clip, there are mouth breathers going “well where’s the proof?”

What's to stop a man pretending to be a woman and making an allegation against someone they don't like? The studies you highlighted aren't really relevant when considering Twitter.

In fact, this is what the rape victim of Joe Biden was expected to have done and is ignored by some on the left because she used a wrong word in the 70's when reporting. Why is that different?

Looking for proof for every single anecdote, story or anonymous allegation would is an impossible and unnecessary ask. My position is to take people's personal experiences on face value until proven otherwise, for the purposes of debate, discussion and convenience. If all she wants to talk about is her experience, then she doesn't need to name the person, or offer anything more than her side of the story. She has no ethical onus to name the person publicly, and draw everything that entails on her, in order to "protect" any other potential victims. The onus is squarely on the perpetrator not to act illegally. If you make an allegation against a named or identifiable individual, be prepared to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt, because that is a solid requirement. And I'm not saying only if you make a criminal or civil complaint against them. If you make any kind of public allegation against someone identifiable that regards illegal activity, you have to be prepared to back that up with proof, evidence or testimony.

When I started working I was in few such places over the years and I was "groped" by female colleagues a few times - not for sexual purposes I think, just horse play - and common greetings would "how's your tits?" and the likes. I know the offices were very different but are factories like this anymore?

All because of some random faceless person making accusations. Twitter is utter poison. In saying that the actor named is a left wing thug of the highest order, it would be nice to see him put through the ringer even if he is likely innocent. An odious individual.

However I meant the comment in jest as I find a lot of people nowadays are afraid to say or do anything for fear of being accused go political incorrectness so imagine people carrying that to a strip club.:)
