"women often make false accusations"

Up to 10% of the time in court. "often" is not a useful qualifier.

absolutely a red-herring used to try and delegitimise accusers again, and again, and again.

"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.
