Comment on 40% of teenage boys believe women lie about domestic and sexual violence: new research

  At the same time, there have been quite a few high-profile cases where the women used relevant laws to cause misery to others.
  Because in those cases, even if the defender ends up as not-guilty, he still most probably loses a job and more.

  There is a fundamental problem with how the laws made for these things are executed.
  They end up being inadequate to help enough of the vulnerable women (corresponding to unreported cases) and at the same time, too powerful to prevent malicious use (corresponding to fake cases).

    You just have to look at places like this - an accusation is proof of guilt to many in here, and not even a not guilty verdict or the charges being dropped will convince them otherwise.

    Accusations alone are life destroying. The system needs to change. Everyone involved should remain anonymous until and unless a guilty verdict is reached in a criminal case.

    For civil cases imo it should remain anonymous even if there is a guilty verdict because the bar for a guilty verdict is woefully low.

      I don’t see anonymity as a big help in this case.
      That just makes us have to believe that regular people want bad for other people, while those in high governmental positions care more of the truthful outcome.
      While in reality, we also require the people to know how well the governmental processes are being executed to prevent anyone from shirking responsibility.

        It helps men not be branded as Abe treated like rapists based solely on an unproven accusation.

  It’s not “most likely” non-zero, it’s definitely non-zero.
