It's quite impressive how completely you miss the point.
What downandout meant was that it is dangerously easy for a woman, if she were so inclined, to destroy a man's career with unsubstantiated claims of sexual harassment. It is much harder for a man to do that to another man, if both are straight.
I'm really not sure where the sexism comes in. Perhaps you could enlighten everyone.
Your knee-jerk reactions, calling people names ("sexist", "disgusting", "wrong and harmful" etc.) are the problem, not downandout's measured observation, and in fact it is exactly what he is talking about. When there's so many people like you, where is the debate? It's just pitchforks and lynching.
- urahara 9y agoNo, it's you who is missing the fact that ability to destroy someone's career is not gender related, but sexism is. You also don't bother to find that statistically cases of false accusations are very rare while numbers of ppl who perform all kinds of discrimination and harassment and get away with it are huge, and exactly this is the main and many times more important problem than statistically small cases of side effects like you describe. Again, learn something about the problem first, you get it backwards and ignore the most important facts.
