How does that protect you from false accusations?
- CiPHPerCoder 8y agoThat's a negligible risk. https://web.archive.org/web/20180101025446/https://icdv.idaho.gov/conference/handouts/False-Allegations.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20180101025446/https://icdv.idah...
- sk4rekr0w 8y agoYou can't take an average and apply it to a specific situation. In this context, if you believe that men are in dramatic positions of power, then you would have to find the # that shows how often powerful men are wrongly accused (vs. just the average man).
- CiPHPerCoder 8y ago> You can't take an average and apply it to a specific situation. In the absence of a more focused study, it's the best we have. Do you have an alternative study to link to?
- sk4rekr0w 8y agoI'm not aware of a study - but that doesn't mean you default to bad math.
- CiPHPerCoder 8y agoI'd use "better" math if it were available. Until then, I'm going to use the best tool for the job, even if it's "bad". To that end, I refuse to make perfect the enemy of good.
- sk4rekr0w 8y agoOur difference of opinion is that I think you are refusing to make bad the enemy of good
- CiPHPerCoder 8y agoIf you have better, provide it. Otherwise, "the good" is "the best we have" and "the perfect" is "what we don't have".
- hodgesrm 8y agoFalse accusations are a problem no matter what you do. Is it a better coping strategy to behave in a way that makes them believable or to be decent to the people around you? Personally I pick decency. I don't really care if this view is down-voted.
- mikelyons 8y agoAlso isn't it the assholes getting all the consentual sex? It's the niceguys getting the rape accusations. Women are telling us in the media and also in person how they always regret sex with niceguys.

Also, very much no. > Women are telling us in the media and also in person how they always regret sex with niceguys. Never heard that. Heard a lot of women say they regret involvement, physical and otherwise, with assholes, though.
- mikelyons 8y agoI would argue that what you're seeing is a pattern of women continually becoming involved with assholes, cause they're not complaining about the niceguys. Anyway, the original post was a sarcastic extrapolation of what we see in the media and comments, I didn't exaggerate it enough but I agree with your 1 words answers, thanks for chiming in.
