The fact that you will support anyone who says, "I'VE BEEN RAPED/ABUSED," regardless whether there's any evidence to support their claims, demonstrates that you care less about survivors than you do about self-aggrandizement and the abstract notion of a cause.

There are people out there who make false accusations. When I was in high school, it was common for 14- and 15-year-old girls to go after older guys and then joke about using statutory rape to "pay them back" if they did something to piss them off. You've just said that you would side with them.

And that's both ridiculous and detrimental to the actual cause.

Half agreeing with nonny I'm replying to:
There's nothing wrong with supporting any person claiming abuse. There are tons of things that can be done that don't require the accusation to be true. Be part of an open, supportive environment. Contribute to charities that offer counselling. Lend your own ear. Be supportive of the survivor's needs, large and small, that can arise before and during recovery.

All of these things, of course, are much more work than getting outraged about a case you know nearly nothing about. Or, you know, people looking at the actual nuanced problem of an entire class of hard to persecute crimes, and the implications of that difficulty of proof.

It's always easier to pretend there's a cut and dry answer to this shit; but of course if you're looking for a cut and dry answer you're not looking for an actual solution.
