The problem is that in the vast majority of these cases there is NO investigation. You just have a mob of women lob accusations at somebody, then disappear, leaving the accused to sort out the damage. Many of these women are not pursuing investigations. It should honestly be defamation to accuse someone of a crime unless you're doing so during the process of a criminal complaint. MeToo hasnt changed any laws, because women already had full power to pursue assaults through the law. All it has done is made it acceptable for women who won't pursue a criminal investigations to go out and accuse someone of sexual assault in public. You cant prove it, you cant disapprove it. It still ruins the accused life. This is absolute mob mentality. |
One of the reasons people previously didn't come forward is the perception that they wouldn't be believed, something that has changed in recent years. It's mentality that the movement has sort to change. Yes, some people have gone overboard but that doesn't mean accusations shouldn't be investigated.
Anyway, thank you for engaging in a debate rather than just insulting me for not agreeing with you like another poster did.
