    This doesn't work. Yes, any woman could become the victim of sexual assault. No, not any man could sexually assault women.https://twitter.com/Pappiness/status/919752795280027648 …

        I fear my daughter becoming the victim of a sexual assault because arseholes exist. I also know my father, cousin, nephew not to be one.

        Sexual assault is not something all men can do better about. This seems to suggest it's something that can happen carelessly.

        Carbon footprints & waistlines are examples of things many of us cld do better at reducing. Sexual assault for most of us is already at zero

        I wouldn't consider any man incapable of sexual assault. Improbable, yes, but not incapable.

        Legally discriminating against an entire class of humans (men) and overturning ‘innocent until proven guilty’ requires such arbitrariness.

        The legal system is struggling to get this right. IUPG is a good principle but the system fails to prosecute or convict most offenders.

        This is the problem with crimes which take place without witnesses and leave no evidence which a lot of rape cases are. :(

        Do I sit on the fence? Do I say "if he isn't convicted it didn't happen" or do I believe the woman? The latter should be the starting point.

        Why? Because being disbelieved when you have been raped is so much worse than being disbelieved when you have not committed rape?

        That was sincere, btw. I am asking if that is why you fall on this side.

        An uncharitable person would infer that he is accusing other guys' male relatives of sexual assault, which is quite a serious allegation.

        Every time a soyboi makes a tweet about how "guys need to do better about rape", makes me think he's done it to deflect accusations.
