I actually feel bad for being a bit skeptical about harassment claims because it’s not hard to believe that some women have noticed how easily the media/powers that be will accept any accusations as the gospel truth. Sexual harassment/assault are serious business but thanks to modern society actual claims wont be believed. Plus some radical feminists consider it harassment if a guy asks to meet for coffee.
I don't feel bad about disbelieving accusations by default. That's how things used to be. Presumption of innocence isn't just a legal standard: It's a civilizational standard. We'd be lynching each other all the time without it.
True. Presumption of innocence doesn’t matter in some cases it seems. Especially when some women make accusations on social media and are shocked when people don’t believe

And I couldn’t believe when women would make an accusation on social media and anyone who wanted evidence was treated like an evil person
It's funny how the #1 cause of black men getting lynched managed to deflect so well that they're now the spokespersons of the "anti-racism" movement.

Yeah thanks to so much frivolous shit like the Louis CK allegations my default position is now pretty much x to doubt.
Eh, hard to feel too bad
I can understand
Brothers Grimm wrote a story about it, oh 300 years ago or so. I have no sympathy. I could only hope that they are eaten by wolves.
Which story? I got the complete brothers Grimm.
Apologies, I meant to refer to Aesop's Fables, The Boy Who Cried Wolf. So, even older.
Gotcha. Yea there is a lot of that going on
False Claims of sexual harassment are as common as angry and frustrated female employees these days - all of them do it.
