For a man, a charge of sexual harassment is nuclear, because we are always perceived as guilty. It's damned if you do and damned if someone says you did.

thanks, OP. it's great to see this article, in GQ none-the-less, so well written, with the hidden punchline and everything. I was glad to read it.

its the same case with any kind of 'violence' against women.

i got into an argument with my ex about how she acts with we are out. she burst into tears and went into her friends house, her friend comes out to threaten me accusing me of hitting her. even after she told him that didn't happen, he accused me.

the best part was the argument wasnt even that huge of a deal to either of us.

"People who have dealt with me in restaurants know I didn't do this. I'm far from beloved as a critic, but I've never been accused of pawing a waitress. Think about it. Would a critic who is dining in a restaurant where he has been recognized do something like this? It seems too stupid to be believed, and I don't think anybody considers me brainless."

Don't protect yourself. The woman lied. Women lie all the time about this kind of thing, especially to protect themselves or cover for their own faults. It is a classic case of a woman using female power over courts/law enforcement/media to escape responsibility for her own ineptitude and incompetence.

If this happens, call a lawyer and sue the false accuser, and anyone who passes along the false accusation, for defamation of character. Seriously.
