No, he called him a serial rapist. That's a very different thing.

Though both accusations are ridiculous, based on actual evidence on hand. But hey, we're in an age of post-truth. Say whatever you want - nobody needs facts any more. For a while this was mostly a Republican thing, but now it seems the Democrats are on board too.

Lovely.
Damn you spell check. You have failed me once again. :oops:

That might apply if he was being subjected to criminal charges in a criminal trial. But he wasn't. He was in a job interview.

It's not a non-sequiter because it's an example of how somebody accused of rape...does not get their life ruined, while the person doing the accusing risks a shitload blowback and punishment. It shows how high the stakes are for the accuser, and how low for the accused.

It's not a trial, so the same standards are not applicable is a lot like the prisoners aren't held on US soil, so torture is legal there.

With your guys' logic, this "nice guy" who was too dumb to know sticking a dick into an unconscious girl at a party isn't raping her, aye? She should have spoken up once she woke up and saw it. Even though she had been flirting with him and acting seductively. She brought it on herself, huh?

Do you think about what you'd do if you found out somebody on this forum HAD killed themselves in their newsfeed? If you saw one of those "If you read this, it means I didn't delete this quequed post" posts?

Congrats for not reading Yuka's post. And to answer your pointless white-knighting question, if someone wants to die, it's their perogative to do so. Besides, Yuka won't ever do that, as s/he's just too comfy splerging the Weltschmerz onto the internet. It's a phase, it will pass.

The inference was that because the good doctor is getting death threats, false accusations do not really ruin men's lives. That is a non-sequitur. If she had received no death threats, that would not make the effect of false accusations worse than they are. If she had been murdered, that would not have made the effect of false accusations less severe than they are.

This is really very basic logic.

Don't paint me as just going through a phase. I've struggled with a horrible existential crisis over the past three years. You know nothing about me.

What are the actual numbers for the statistics here? I read somewhere that it's 200,000 rapes per year, 100,000 of which only go reported, 4% of which are false, yes, and 9% of which affect men, but the emphasis on the latter is that it is probably higher since men also don't underreport and it may be higher since men are societally pressured to be strong and lead the way. I'm sure both left and right will counter with their own figures, though, to suit their ends.
