Because if you falsely accuse me of a crime and im looking at jail time, we have a problem that is going to turn violent very fast. Im a firm believer in persuing rapists. It is in no way paradoxical for me to say that is would be unfair for my innocence should be presumptive.

I can only assume that people advocating for the blanket belief of woman victims must all be women, because how are you possibly going to put yourself in a situation where half of the people around you can simoly say three words and your entire life is over. As it stands now, any woman who walks into my buisness could accuse me of rape and i would lose my family, my job, and likely my house. Literally half of the people i interact with could end my life.

Its funny, theres a parallel with that last sentence that id be lacking to not bring up. But when when its in the context of half of the people you meet being able to physically end your life, thats a problem.

The only thing people are advocating for here is eliminating the double standard. Everyone should be presumed innocent in any type of crime, because at least for me im not serving time for a crime i didnt commit without taking everyone else involved down.

Wow so tuff, this guy absolutely pulverized that strawman

The point is that unjustly accused people have the right to violent uphold their rights against persecution. If you accept false accusations as an eventuality, you accept violent retribution as well.

Feel free to explain why correctly accused people wouldn't do the same thing.

Also feel free to explain how due process only applies to other people because you're allowed to be violent if the law even thinks of responding to an accusation, false or otherwise, like it would for any other crime.

It applies differently because reasonable people presume innocence and will therefore support those accised without evidence.

LMAO

Love the casual implication that women can't possibly be asking for that evidence to taken and treated seriously.
