Somehow women don’t think due process and the right to face your accuser should apply when they want to ruin some guy who displeased them. Back when DNA evidence first became accepted, some men falsely convicted of rape were lucky enough that evidence had been preserved and proved they were wrongfully convicted. The feminist response? Anger that an innocent man was released. A woman was raped, a man was sent to jail; didn’t matter to them if it was the right man. No remorse that a woman had lied an innocent man into jail. So now there are all these complaints that can’t be disproven by DNA or a lack of evidence; he touched, he said something. It’s all supposed to be “If she said he did it, then he did it, case closed.”
The worst are the women who wait 20 or 30 years before making an accusation, long after any possibility of an investigation. Some like to pretend those women are heroes and brave to come forward; I’d call them cowards willing to let someone they consider a criminal remain free to harm other victims; or maybe their motivation was not justice, but just their 15 minutes of fame. With no possibility of investigation, who knows if they are telling the truth. Hillary Clinton based a large part of her campaign on this sort of accusation against Trump. If Bill Cosby’s first victim had gone to the police when it happened, maybe there would not have been any other victims.
In the military, its not at all uncommon for a woman expecting a bad efficiency report to accuse her superior of sexual misconduct. The man may be scrambling to salvage his career, but the women who work with the accuser are not fooled, they know exactly what she did.
Anti harassment rules, however well-intended, usually distill down to “she accuses, he’s gone”, and have become common in the bylaws of social organizations.
It’s about time we start being specific when an accusation of “sexual assault” is made. If it’s rape, say rape. If it isn’t, don’t play this coy game to make it sound like rape.
I look forward to more lawsuits against colleges and corporations for unwarranted dismissal. Companies have been so afraid of lawsuits from women that a mere accusation can end a career. The accused men are more concerned about trying to salvage their lives than win in court. Or maybe they don’t even know they were accused, only that they got laid off. Perhaps companies should be required to investigate, and if the accusation is true, fire the man; if it is not true, fire the woman who made the false accusation.
