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).

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

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?

a high schooler was falsely accused of rape and got jail time. He was lined up for a football scholarship at his dream college before he was falsely imprisoned. (The girl came forward to say she lied. I don’t remember the name, sorry). I would say we should be concerned
-
I'm not talking about high school students, although that is a whole other can of worms. That situation is terrible, and it proves how carefully we need to examine ALL sexual assault allegations.

Wow that was the fastest back track I’ve seen since... well ever
-
I am not backtracking - a few people whose opinions I respect pointed out some layers I'd missed, which happens!

You don't care that innocent men of color are disproportionately accused in colleges, and punished without due process, in ways that ruin their lives? Your feminism is comfortable with blatant racist scape-goating?
-
Thanks for pointing out this nuance. Not at ALL. That is a different, but overlapping issue. I am not talking about students, campuses, educational opportunities. These are powerful men who have benefited from the system and hurt women.
-
So you think racist bias stops when people graduate from college? Interesting.

The tactic you're using to make your point is unnecessary, but no. I don't think that. And I was going to type "of course," but you are right to point out that I didn't make that clear.

I mean that's a waste of your time because it's based on a misconception of my message from one tweet. The UnSlut Project does important work and I stand by it. Honestly, you're upset about something I don't even believe. Peace.

It will be a silly waste of your life's energy, and I suspect you will soon discover that. We do not know each other and never will. But it seems you are committed to this Twitter thread, so whatever floats your boat. Again, peace to you.
