Here's an unpopular opinion: I'm actually not at all concerned about innocent men losing their jobs over false sexual assault/harassment allegations.

First, false allegations VERY rarely happen, so even bringing it up borders on a derailment tactic. It's a microscopic risk in comparison to the issue at hand (worldwide, systemic oppression of half the population).

And more importantly: The benefit of all of us getting to finally tell the truth + the impact on victims FAR outweigh the loss of any one man's reputation.

Sorry. If some innocent men's reputations have to take a hit in the process of undoing the patriarchy, that is a price I am absolutely willing to pay.

How many of our reputations have suffered unfairly? How many of our lives have ALREADY BEEN destroyed because of physical violence against us? Why was that acceptable, but now one man's (potentially) unfair loss of a career opportunity is not?

We have been TRYING to use the legal system and it does not work for us. Clearly. Now we are trying public shaming. Maybe this will work against men - they have used it against us so successfully, after all.

Well, thanks for responding with where your line is on this issue. I draw a different line, I guess.

I hope that one day you can sacrifice your job and your reputation for the good of all, and show us how it doesn't matter

To the degree that this is being used as an excuse to avoid discussing the issue, I get that. But as someone who has behaved decently, I shudder to think of losing my future for something I didn’t do. Those who have it coming, bury them.
