I generally agree but also alternative axes of power and other circumstances can really change the calculus here. It took a lot of real accusations to take weinstein down. It took one false one to kill Emmitt Till. No amount of accusations will do the slightest bit of damage to Trump or to most rich and powerful men.
Drags thinks maybe a lot of people see all false accusation victims as rich and powerful, and forget that false accusation victims can be poor people and minorities.
False accusation victims can even be women! So many of these conversations seem to act like gay sex doesn't exist.
