This is a perfectly normal common reaction.

How tf is being afraid of being called a rapist falsely a case of GOP hypocrisy on family values? It may not be right to be afraid here but there really isn't any hypocrisy. Stop saying family values everytime a GOP politician comes up in the news.

The issue here is not that false accusations exist. I am not particularly worried about being falsely accused of being a murderer or drug trafficker because people generally don't believe accusations like that without evidence. I am not those things, so evidence against me does not exist. In sexual misconduct allegations people get emotionally involved and immediately demand that anyone accused lose their job and leak their address online so an angry mob can show up where they live and so on. Then even if the allegation is disproven it won't matter and you'll still have people denouncing you as a rapist until you die. There wouldn't be so much paranoia about this stuff if the left and feminists would drop the lynch mob mentality. Which doesn't mean you assume accusers are liars either.

Yes people keep saying this, but can you demonstrate that this has happened on any large scale? What prominent #MeToo case was ever demonstrated to be fabricated, and then once you find one, can you demonstrate how people didn't accept the evidence but continued to "denounce" the rapist?

No one is saying that false accusations don't ever happen, but their frequency is blown out of proportion by the Right by several orders of magnitude, as is the amount of damage they do. And none of that justifies treating women differently than men merely on the basis that women can hypothetically manufacture a fake allegation, even if there's no evidence that a particular one will.

Not #metoo but predates it by a few years.

Mattress girl. It was a semi national news issue and major politicians supported the false accuser.
