    Because the list takes the onus away from women needing to speak out. We shouldn’t require victims to expose themselves if we have other evidence.

      Actually, most of us can tell the difference between a committed sex trafficker and the actual sex slaves she helped traffic.

      If this does get said in her defense, it will be bad faith, and the only people that repeat it will be MAGA loyalists.

      No you can’t. You can however refuse to give them a job because they keep making inappropriate remarks about women and multiple women have accused them of sexual abuse, rape and harassment.

        EXACTLY. You don’t need to “trust”, you can look at the comments that were consistently made in regards to women, the vile behavior he engaged in, the known relationships, and the week court cases, i.e the evidence that was there in plain sight but people chose to ignore

    Well…

    If the justice system didn’t have a systemic massive unjustified distrust of women, and it spontaneously reached the peak of equality on this specific metric, then there would probably eventually be a higher rate of false accusations.

    And then we’d eventually end up with a latent mild justified skepticism of all sexes, and then we’d still end up needing objective evidence.

    So it’d be kinda self-defeating, except for a handful of glory years. Now would be a fantastic time for those glory years, no doubt, but it’s not a long-term solution.

      Statistically, less than 1% of all accusations of sexual assault are false.

      Statistically, about 3% of sexual assaults actually end in a conviction. Only about 11% get to court. Only about 25% are reported.

      Considering men do most of (not all) the sexual assault (by far, though), it seems currently a lot of sexual predators are escaping justice.

      Now I get US society (and most of human society in general) is way hung up about sexual relations. It’s exacerbated by the Abrahamic religions who have proscriptions against sex which have informed our culture. We also fail to recognize teenage sexuality, and in fact hate our teens, seeing them as promiscuous delinquents even while we try to teach them math, and this has informed the rise of the alt-right, the man-o-sphere and all the War Boys that joined up with Immortan Joe Donald J. Trump ( WITNESS! ). We crank out horny teens by the hundreds of thousands and don’t inform them at all how human interaction works.

      (Case in point, check out what romance looks like in cinema, especially romantic comedies, and see if you’d tolerate any of that crazy shit IRL.)

      So we set teens up for sexual assault, mostly on the side of men, since girls are taught they’re slutty (and that’s bad) if they even think a half-libertine thought.

      So we need massive amounts of both judicial reform and cultural reform regarding sexuality. And then believe women when they say they were assaulted.

    Allegations of sexual crimes should always be taken seriously and addressed immediately, however, that’s not the same as taking the words of the victims words as the truth. A due process has to be mandatory and proof must remain a non negotiable requirement to arrest and punish someone. That’s the one and only way justice can be served.

      Agreed.

      It would also help out men and boys to have a safe environment to come forward with their claims without facing abuse from society/police.

    Nobody who matters (Trumps fanbase, Trumps voters, Trumps politicans and Trumps supreme court) care whether he’s guilty or convicted.

    But the Epstein list is something very central to the Trump campagin narrative and thus if he’s on there, that could cause major issues between Trump and his fanbase/voters.

      At least 26 separate women have accused Trump of SA over the course of the last 50 years, many of them before he entered politics. One of them even got a civil court to find as fact that he committed rape.

      Just how many witnesses do you need here? Would another 26 be enough? How about a thousand?

      I dont think it’s going to be a “list” like a nice spreadsheet itemising various white guys liaisons with under-age women including names, dates of birth, and witness details.

      Whatever is released, if anything, is going to be ambiguous and you’re going to need to weigh the information and its source.

      This meme is challenging people who would generally line up behind the conservatives to consider other sources of information.

        I’d assume it the bulshit is based on a different interpretation of the word “believe”. Some people mean “don’t need proof”, which is bulshit. Some people mean " investigate as if you thought it were true", which is not bulshit.

    Consider that if these women came forward, then the corrupt justice system, that’s supposed to protect them, would dismiss or refute thier claims and leave them vulnerable to the powerful people they tried to expose.

    They have to be believed AND protected from those they accuse, else they are just painting a target on their backs.

      Women have already come forward and had their lives destroyed. If the general public believed them during their trials, or honestly, if they weren’t intimidated into dropping their case, this shit would already be in prison.

      But the testimony of women is valued less by the justice system than the testimony of rich powerful men. That’s the problem. There is less trust in women overall, across the board in this patriarchal society.

        You’re not wrong, but I think “rich” and “powerful” carry a hundred times the weight in that sentence as “men”.

      refute thier claims

      That’s what the defense is supposed to be attempting in an adversarial trial system.

      My current bias is that an adversarial system is a good way to actually achieve justice, but I’d be open to learning about non-adversarial criminal trials.

    I like the energy, I think Trump should be rotting in prison, but it’s a shit argument that basically gives unrestricted power to random individuals.
