You're taking liberties with words. "Proven" requires proof.

Proof is anything that helps establish the truth of something. There is no definitive standard for what is or isn't proof (except math, but this isn't math). It just depends on whether or not you're convinced something is proven. The fact that 25 women came forward is proof. It helps to establish a fact. Why the hell would 25 different women, many of whom have been saying he same thing for years, all of whom have absolutely nothing to gain from this, all come forward with these stories?

Facts are things that are known to be true, and cannot be the product of opinions.

I don't need something to be proven absolutely beyond a shadow of a doubt to believe it. I don't need it to be a "fact." If the evidence is demonstrative that something is the the case, Ill believe it. Would I convict him on it? No. But that doesn't mean it's unreasonable to believe it.

Its pretty clearly a female TwoXer who made up that entire post if you read through their comments. Do you really think a male combat victim of PTSD wants to hear his combat trauma related to rape victims?

"Then she told me about reddit. And about a few subs that are primarily for women, to discuss anything, and a lot of women talked about these coping skills to cope after rape and domestic violence. I felt sad suddenly, and thought of the rape problem in the military. She had been in the army, so I knew there was a good chance she had been raped.

As she spoke, I thought of how bad she had it. Not only did she have PTSD like me and so many other men do, but she had PTSD from getting raped by the very men that were supposed to have her back. She told me about the online community that helps her more than the stupid group therapy we all had to go to. So I have lurked on reddit for a while. But I wanted to reach out and thank her, but no idea what her username is. I know she frequents subs like this that are aimed at women, so I was hoping that maybe she would see this and would know how much it meant to me that she helped me. If anyone here knows of a female veteran that frequents here, let me know."
