An unfortunate truth

It's interesting how the excuses and dismissals for false accusations have changed over the past few years. There have been far too many high profile cases recently for the "It's so rare you're more likely to be struck by lightning!" crowd to continue their dishonest and delusional campaign of silencing. So nowadays the tactic is instead to shout: "A false accusation is a walk in the park compared to getting raped!" or "It's no big deal." since the high profile cases see the men accused return to generally normal lives (eventually).

In doing so, they unfortunately ignore the suffering of these men before the truth is discovered, they ignore the cases where the lies don't get found out and the jail time, loss of employment, legal fees, etc, that accompany these lies. They ignore all the opportunities and months/years of life lost, and the undoing of personal trust and feelings of social isolation, and so many other negative effects of a false accusation.

And you know what? Let's get one thing straight regarding which is worse. I've been the victim of both to some degree. I was falsely accused of some type of sexual misconduct in the workplace (it was never explicitly stated what this horrible act was, just office rumours), and I lost my job, reputation, friends, health, and almost my life as a result, despite obtaining and showing evidence that it was all a lie (her written words to her boyfriend using her office email account stating that she was "making everything up to get me fired"). So I'm living proof of the pain and suffering caused by such awful lies.

And...I was also sexually assaulted by a woman, and while it was not nearly as bad as a full on rape, it was difficult and disgusting enough to deal with that I have no illusion how terrible and destructive it would be if it had continued for more than a few seconds and become a rape.

And if I was forced to choose...

...if I knew that I would either be raped or have a false accusation happen to me at some point in the future...

...I would honestly choose to just eat a bullet.

So now can we stop pretending that just one of these horrible things exists?

Please?

I never understood why they put random women over their own kids.

Women who falsely accuse men should serve the sentence they would have or did

Knowing this and knowing how easy it would be for me to do some pretty terrible things to my partner is a large chunk of the reason I started actively reading about and support Men's Rights.

I had always disagreed with feminism, ever since I was a kid. I grew up in the 90s and Girl Power! was a thing, and a girl can hit a boy but boys can't hit back was often said by my classmates, things like that, and I just thought it was dumb.

But when I got pregnant with my first child and I realized how much power I immediately held, to abort, to adopt, to sink my partner with child support, to do any number of things. . .at a whim. It genuinely started to concern me. So I started reading. And when I found out my child was a boy, I read more and started being more vocal. I now have 2 boys and a girl, and am vocally anti feminist and for Men's Rights. I still hope that there will be a swing in a saner direction becore my kids get old enough that there's real concern about some of the things that are going on now

As a parent, i am equal parts terrified that my son could have his entire life ruined from one girl falsely accusing him as i am of my daughter legitimately experiencing something but having her credibility lowered because of these horrible women so commonly falsely accusing men.

If they truly wanted women to be believed they would be fighting against these false accusations.

Would a mother give up her trump card to protect a boy?

Why are there question marks but it doesn't credit the person who said it?

Yeah what if that mother has been doing this to the father of her 2 boys and doesn’t give a shit what she’s doing to them?

Idk being gay seems more safe than being straight nowadays
