    #MeToo has also shown that there are people out there will claim SA as a form of revenge or in attempt to get money of the situation.

    As things are, the man is always assumed guilty even when proven innocent.

    I try not to take accusations at face value for this reason. You have to put your self in their shoes; If someone accuses you of SA 30 years ago, what do you do? How do you convince people it never happened or in the case of two consenting adults hooking up, how do convince people it was consensual.

    By the time you prove your innocence, you’ve lost your job, friends, family, possibly divorced, children all have 100 mile restraining orders and have been told terrible things about you…your life is fucked because some saw the #MeToo movement and figured out there are 0 consequences for fucking up someone’s life.

    That being said, if the accused is proven guilty, then feel free to chop of their head (not the one attached to the neck).
