I'm going to delineate between two types of stereotypes:

Positive stereotypes: (Green people are good at gardening.)

Negative stereotypes: (Green people are bad at gardening.)

This idea that women should be believed over men just because they are women is entirely ridiculous, sexist, and wrong. It is a double standard where women can tell no lies, but men can.

It's like using crime data to support "Believe all White people." You should never just implicitly believe people based on immutable characteristics.

I do think we should take sexual assault allegations seriously. We should investigate. But what we should not do is implicitly believe whatever women say without any sort of evidence.

Look at the recent issues with Graham Platner, who stepped down after being alleged of sexual abuse by Jenny Racicot, and was previously accused of physical abuse by Lyndsey Fifield (a career GOP operative).

Is he guilty? IDK. Maybe.

But the public, without any corroboration, evidence, or even so much as a criminal or civil case, has decided that he is in fact guilty.

I find this to be completely abhorrent. Under this ideology, it would appear that an innocent man can be taken out of politics or public life at any time by anyone who can concoct a story and act in front of a camera. Again, not saying this is what happened with Platner, but given the logical processes used here, it seems like that's exactly what the public is allowing for.

Have people forgotten about Depp v Heard? Have people not looked into the rape statistics that show that, yes, some women do lie about being sexually assaulted.

I mean I don't know. I've always been a fan of 'innocent until proven guilty' not just as a legal process, but as as standard of objectivity. In the case of Platner we have nothing but hearsay. I don't think someone should be kicked out of politics based on hearsay.

We should treat all immutable characteristics as equal when it comes to evaluating honesty. We should not simply take claims at face value because your biases tell us to.

And yet when I mention this, I am called a sexist for not "believing women" and I've even been told "watch out for this guy, ladies" as if I'm myself a rapist for requesting what any judge would request in a courtroom.

Is it asking too much to want to see people treated as equals?

There seems to be a massive influx of misandry going around these days. You can even discriminate against male Uber drivers now. I find this to be really disgusting behavior. It's like a horseshoe of social justice that has wrapped back around to discrimination.
