I am tired of the sneering, social media know-it-alls, who endlessly and tirelessly minimize, obfuscated and deny the reality of false allegations.
We all know them. The benevolent male feminist, who waves such things away as if they are merely a figment of the imagination; not to be worried about, that is beyond your concern, and impacts vanishingly few men. Such people are charlatans of the worst kind, who have chosen to build their careers upon the backs of virtue signaling conjecture, off a woeful understanding of statistics, and of course, the erasure of men whose lives have been destroyed.
“You have a higher chance of being struck by lightening, than of being falsely accused!” 🌩️
Says the latest in the long line of smug armchair experts, whose perceived sense of moral superiority, self interests, and egos, have blinded them to their own ignorance.
And I wonder -
Have these virtuous men ever looked into the eyes of a mother, whose son took his own life because of a false allegations, as I have? Have they met a father wrongly accused of abuse in family court, and stripped of his children?
Have they sat with men whose careers and lives have been utterly decimated by a malicious lie?
I doubt it.
Because what these so-called advocates, with their bogus lightening metaphors claim, is simply not true.
And the most ironic thing about such people, is that they fall into the same trap they endlessly warn others about.
That is, yes, only a tiny percentage of allegations are provably found to be false in a court of law; but prosecution data is a famously poor barometer for real life events, because (as we know) most crimes of this nature, never make it anywhere near a conviction.
Such a sad phenomenon of underreporting is well known and spoken about, in the area of sexual violence – where only a tiny number of such crimes end in a conviction.
And this is even more true for false allegations, which almost never go to court, and even rarer still end in justice.
So, what is the reality of false allegations? Is it really less likely than being struck by lightening? Or is the truth frightening more likely than that? What do you think?
