You should be better at recognizing a straw man article. The rallying cry was never 'Believe All Women', it is as in the picture 'Me Too!' Don't believe 'all women' whatever that means. Believe the one in front of you saying she was attacked. Because most of them were.

Uh, if you are to believe the woman in front of you - and thus, someone else the woman in front of themselves - why are you saying “most”? And if it’s not most, as the paradox you create suggests, than it must be all. Atop you’ll find an argument against that line of thinking.
-
most as - most women were sexually harassed to a certain degree.
-
Also in honesty, I think you are arguing in bad faith. No one suggested that women's complaints should be unchecked by law enforcement. The request is, simply, when a women tells you she were attacked believe her & follow up on it according to that belief and laws of evidence.
-
But if you are to believe someone, does that not come with it that you trust their version of events and that what they’re saying is completely true? And if that’s the case, what further evidence is required? I have always been of the believe that every claim of sexual assault...
-
Should be respected and investigated fully and vigorously. That doesn’t inherit that I must believe someone without evidence. If that’s your argument, then we agree. But I’m reading, it seems that we should implicitly trust someone based on allegation or gender.

Belief is neither infallible nor eternal, nor a legal position. If a man comes to you and says "I've been robbed!" You say "Let me help" and you call the cops who investigate. If a women says "I've been harassed!" You say "Well, but what is harassment anyway?" See the diff?
-
This movment is about women wanting to be taken seriously, with belief and due care when they complain about being harassed and assaulted. That's it.

first let's agree that men are the problem.
-
In reality, the pillars of patriarchy are supported by both men and women. That's a fact.
-
oh, word? you're saying it's partially women't fault? this is my surprised face. the patriarchy is crumbing because men don't have the balls to admit the truth.
#facts -
Actually, patriarchy is not crumbling. Patriarchy's fate is tied up with religion.
-
no shit. religion is crumbling. unless you don't believe in math.
-
Islam and Christianity are not crumbling.
-
unless you take into consideration the participation of humans. you're not really much of a 'math and statistics guy' now are you?
-
From what I remember from the pew stats, Islam is rising and supposed to surpass Christianity in terms of followers.
