you may get the pound of flesh from HR but then literally nobody is ever going to speak to you again

Is the fact that he was Muslim relevant at all though? Seems the same anecdote leaving that out would have been just as true and relevant.
@waltercool
Ahh, perhaps, sure. Is there reason to think that was the case here though? Did the guy get reprimanded specifically for being prejudice?
@waltercool
Me too had its place in the legitimate cases. the problem with everything feminist is they take it too far and do more harm than good despite having good intent.
Pesky women, always taking their desire to end sexual harassment too far!
Yea, i mean, when you start accusing people of rape who didnt actually rape you, literally, then it is taking it too far. This shouldnt be a hard concept to understand.
And you have proof of that happening on a significant scale, i.e. more than a few unproven anecdotes?
There is about as much evidence of false accusations as there are of true ones... The bulk of cases in either category tend to be scarce when it comes to evidence. That is the very problem with treating them as true in the first place.
And I'm saying that as per Occam's Razor, the more likely thing is that the allegation is true. That's why it's normal for people to consider it true regardless of whether it can be proven in court and turned into an official punishment.
Actually ocams razor would imply we should not assume an accusation is true or false and assume that it is unknowable... Ocams razor dictates we must make the choice that makes the least assumptions, therefore we are dictated by ocams razor to not assume a claim to be true or false without evidence.
The fact that a woman claims that a man harassed her requires an explanation.
Since he cannot have both harassed and not harassed her, there are broadly only two possible explanations:
- He did it (men do that commonly for pleasure, no further explanation needed)
- She's lying (why should she, further explanation is needed)
occam's razor was developed to select formulas that address the outcome of observations of physical experiments.
@freemo @waltercool
@icedquinn @socjuswiz @freemo This is the sole problem on metoo. Whatever female does is fine, but whatever male does is sexual harassment (even if true or false).
At my country is well known if some women denounce their husband for violence, then police reach automatically and the guy is supposed guilty unless prove innocence. If some male denounce their wife for violence, police will laugh and likely nothing will happen if trial happens.
Same can applied in many things, like teen rape accusations. If the accused is male, likely guilty and long jail time, if the accused is female, likely nothing or easy bail out.
As far as im concerned there is plenty of sexism in both directions. More than enough abuse for being male or female. You can view either as the victim from the right perspective and neither viewpoint is entierly wrong.
