I am still not sure where to talk about this, but this subreddit honestly seems like the only place that would be receptive to the discussion. I happen to have first hand experience with somebody who has made headlines by suing a famous guy. I generally believe women first when these assault cases come up, but personal experience really makes me wonder if I should reconsider that.

I knew the girl who is accusing Shannon Sharpe of assault and there is just no way Gabi isn't just trying to make some money or become famous. The whole reason we stopped talking is because she absolutely lost her mind and was acting like a complete psycho. Just off the top of my head, one time she claimed to be pregnant so she could get money for an abortion that I am pretty sure never even happened. I don't even remember why but she also threw a brick through that same guys windshield

I want to believe women, but I just wonder how many people like me are out there not speaking up for the men who are clearly being targeted. I feel like a big part of it is that if I was to actually identify myself and speak out other women would hate me.
