With all this #WhyIDidntReport going on, let's remember the innocent people of Salem that died because we just trusted the accuser.

People really need to move away from the Salem witch trials and start using the lynchings in the US. The NAACP actually did some research into it and found that around 30% of the men killed by lynching were accused of rape. Since a woman would never lie about such a crime the accused was automatically guilty and the punishment at the time for rape was death. This meant that the mobs that killed the accused were actually just doing what feminists want done now.

Here is an article backing up this line of reasoning. It's from 2015 but all the links are still good and the reasoning is as sound as ever.

Side bonus: You get to use the progressive stack against those that use it in the first place.

I have been sexually assaulted twice in my life. Both times by women. I was chemically restrained the first time, and the second time was when I was in physical restraints in the hospital recovering from overdose. #metoo

Yeah...they'll treat me the same as they're treating her.

There's plenty of reasons not to confirm Kavanaugh, but this accusation isn't one of them.

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

As someone who has been raped, I can say reporting it is the hardest thing next to experiencing it. I never reported mine to the police over fear of what it would do to me a second time.

You can't assume the person is telling the truth, and you can't assume the person is lying either. Do you know how hard it is to go to the police and say, "Hey, I was in this situation and I got raped." It isn't at all easy to do that. But god help me, if the person that did rape me twenty years ago was now up for election, or was in some position of power, I would have to really consider how much more I want my life to be ruined because of that rape.

Totally dismissing it or coming up with excuses to ignore it is just as bad as outright believing the person. Stop being convinced one way or the other until you hear the evidence.

Giles Corey. Learn that name. If all the accused had acted like he did, things would have gone very differently.

Is there any specific problem you have with the WhyIDidntReport hashtag?

We needed a new hashtag for unproven accusations? The bullshit of #Metoo wasn't enough?

Are you seriously comparing Salem witch trials to women who didn't report being sexually assaulted? This sub makes a lot of sense most of the time but some posts are totally bonkers.
