    Yeah I don’t understand the message here, that it’s okay to falsely accuse people? Fuck that. That’s just another form of injustice.

      No… The message you’re supposed to take away is:

      A tiny (tiny tiny tiny) proportion of accusations being false doesn’t change the fact that basically every woman on earth is probably going to be sexually harassed at some point, and very many will be sexually assaulted.

      They don’t give a fuck about 0.01% of the population. (And they shouldn’t)

        “It’s only a small number of people, so we shouldn’t give a shit about them” isn’t my favorite take…

          How about “I’m very tired of this tiny number of people being used to defend thousands of violent crimes, and I’m unwilling to lend a great deal of Creedence to random unfounded unspecific calls for us to just think about the poor frat boy who’s life must be ruined, when thousands of women’s lives are ruined every day by sexual violence”

          Or, you know, you could just not deliberately interpret what I’ve said in a stupid way

          A small number of false accusations is simply NOT the fault or responsibility of women generally.

        Ok, thats not a message. What is the suggested plan of action as a result of this “new” information coming to light?
