The idea that sometimes a woman won't be instantly believed + the man automatically cancelled no matter how demonstrably absurd or false the accusation made by the woman is : that is an existencial threat to Feminists.

For Quebecois readers : The Alice Paquet false rape accusations against a député of the Assemblée nationale. ( It was demonstrated she lied about everything, while parroting Feminists mythology ( such as falsely claiming ''the police tried to scare her out of accusing an important political man'', but the guy still got canceled from politics. )

Feminists never abandonned the Duluth model :

Men are always the abuser, women are always the victim. If every verrifiable fact shows the woman is the one starting, or commiting totally one-sided violence, she was still defending herself against Patriarchal abuse that were not physical violence, but just as bad or worse.

In their mind, Johnny Depp is the guilty one no matter the evidence, and this verdict is enabling Patriarchal opression of women everywhere. Anyone supporting Johnny and happy with the verdict, is thus, a Misogynist.

( P.S. : To this day, Feminists still try to allude without outright saying it that Alice Paquet was raped by the politician whenever they think no one will stick their neck out to correct their lies and risk being branded as a ''mysoginist rape culture enabler''.

They will do the same with Amber Heard.)
