MODERATORS
People are always going to misinterpret something as shortform as a hashtag. I think there's a larger conversation to be had about their use in spaces like politics, but I'd hardly say that makes one instance of their use irresponsible to the level you're implying. Especially when you consider the fact that "women often make false accusations" is absolutely a red-herring used to try and delegitimise accusers again, and again, and again. The most prominent example from recent memory that comes to my mind, within politics, being the way Christine Blasey Ford's accusations against Brett Kavanaugh were treated.
Have a nice night though ๐๐
Up to 10% of the time in court. "often" is not a useful qualifier.
"Absolutely"? So no exceptions? Just like my two friends eh? One of whom implied all accused should be castrated because no woman would ever have a reason to lie.
I am all for presumption of innocence until proven guilty and treating all parties with dignity in the meantime (even though the vast majority of the men in the hearings are guilty).
Am unfamiliar with the Kavanagh case.
Did you see the video example in the Reddit thread showing cops automatically believing the woman and treating the man in an undignified fashion? Spoiler: the man is obviously innocent.
Enjoy your passive-aggressive smugly wugly day.
