Be careful about crossing the line from "innocent until proven guilty" over into "victim-blaming" territory. It takes an insane amount of courage to come forth

Be careful about crossing the line from "innocent until proven guilty" over into "victim-blaming" territory.
It takes an insane amount of courage to come forth publicly with the kinds of accusations these women are bringing, and a history of men victim blaming women is why so many abusers roam our midst with impunity. When I hear these kinds of accounts, I typically have more reasons to distrust the accused abuser who is usually the person wielding more power in the whole system.
- yieldcrv 4y agovictim blaming requires someone choosing to do something that creates a victim as you can see, this is at odds with the prior posters observation and puts you both at an impasse I can empathize with the limitations of evidence and the limitations of the law as a reflection of the culture that alone doesn’t help me pick a side based on any “lived experience” or power dynamic But for anyone reading this: don’t put your hands on people necks just because of the lack of evidence or consequences. Its very abusive to target people that made a permanent digital message of flirting with you, or targeting people that you know made a white lie sometime in their life that you can use against them if they ever go to the police about something else, society relies on the mutual cooperation of everyone at all times
