You make valid points and no system is perfect. I think you could protect against the type of abuse you mentioned in the following way: in the case of majority accusers (along race or gender - so in the US that would be white and male, male being a numerical minority but a majority in terms of influence and power) we maintain the existing justice system that requires the burden of proof to be placed on the accuser. For minority accusers we would have the alternative system that shifts the burden of proof on to the accused. I realize that right wing heads will explode, but this kind of system would lead to the least amount of abuse and would result, in comparison to our existing justice system, to justice that represents fairness most closely.

That's progressive because you're saying that we should discriminate against people based on their sex and ethnicity. 

 

Wrong. You cant discriminate against whites/males. This is progressive because it evens the playing field and gives fairness to those most abused by our current system - the goal is a fair justice system, currently which it is not.
