I used to say the same thing before I got in the business of investigating [all victims'] claims.

Social media abuse claims are the female equivalent of SWATing. One well-published sob story sends a mob to kick down your door.

Don't be this naive. For your own sake, only consider believing such claims once a police report has been filed. Don't rush to judgment either way unless there's repercussions when the claimant is lying about it.

I suspect that commenter is sarcastically mocking this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Believe_women Specifically the controversial "believe all women" phrasing.

I hear what you're saying, AND ... if you have a couple of hours, review some daily summary videos of the recent Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial.

Coming from an "I believe the woman" background myself, I was pretty shocked.

Including Amber Heard?

6% of rape allegations are proven to be false so you should absolutely not do that[1] Take the claims seriously but don't assume guilt automatically, everyone deserves due process.

That doesn't seem like a very smart strategy ahah

The problem was that reports from women were sometimes being downplayed or dismissed. The solution is to stop doing that.

I say "listen to women" and "take women seriously"
