After the incident with Julie Ann Hogarth and Github, I can't help but notice that this attitude of playing victim is very prevailant, especially amongst women. Hogarth isn't the only one who made unsubstantiated claims of abuse. If you remember a while back, a woman named Adrina Richards posted on Twitter about a conversation two men were having between each other and, because she didn't like it and felt offended, she posted the picture of the two men and got them fired. Despite these incidents, it seems that women are key to say that women in technology are oppressed, even though there is no real evidence to prove their claims.

The phenomena isn't just limited to technology. This article,

showed up on my FB feed by a random girl and everyone went to like it and share it because she said that "Women weren't safe [on campus]". But when you get into the details, the article simply states that Tufts was a whipping boy for the Department of Education to say that they were doing something about sexual crimes on campus. Again, it seems crying "wolf" and lying is the only way to get attention.

But more to the point, I want to address what it means for society. While I'm sure many of you here focus on improving yourselves, the people who are not on TRP focus on diminishing themselves to gain pity and popularity. They cry victimhood and being insulted when 1, they aren't and 2, they themselves are often the perpetrator of these claims. But the worst part is that they see it as justified. They are masochists and professional victims without even realizing it.

What this means is that many women (and men, especially betas) in society are trying to become the "lesser man": by being the victim, you can solicit more pity and have more power, even if it is but for a fleeting moment. Unfortunately, there are far too many women and men to ignore all their false cries. As a result, nobody really wants to take responsibiltiy should something actually happen and blind mob justice that is ultimately sexist (since often times, we assume the woman's claims of sexual abuse are true instead of "innocent before proven guilty") rules us all.

In other words, there is a greater need to pretend to be weak amongst the herd in public but when just picking up some chick, be as alpha as fuck because they're hypocrites.

This is a condensed version of my thoughts (although I should probably write a full article about it). What do you think?
