Yes! It is rational to have a fear response to the prospect of being held accountable. Because we have not had a culture of accountability, many men are not confident in their ability NOT to behave in a harmful manner, even if they do not intend to harm. That feeling of discomfort is from finally having to think about these things. I hope more men embrace that discomfort instead of resent it.
- briandear 7y agoMany men aren’t confident that they would be able to prove that something didn’t occur. Many men aren’t confident that they would get a fair process. We saw what happened to Kavanaugh. Flimsy allegations from decades ago when the players were in high school, with no corroboration, even from a person who was the best friend of the accuser and present at the scene of the alleged event. Yet that was almost enough to destroy a judicial career.
