      I have my sources too; it’s debatable as the metodology used to collect that data it’s at least suspicious, to say the least.

      And, hear me out, I’m not here to argue or to say that women are the villainesses of the story and that they’re manipulating everything, nor to deny that millions of women are assaulted and raped everyday, but hey, there are some big biases, fallacies and metodological errors that are distorting how the data is collected and interpreted, whether it’s deliberate or not.

          I never said that there are more false allegations, either. You’re putting words in my mouth.

          I’m only saying that there are more false allegations than the official sources assume.

          Edit: This was a confusion generated by my own poor word election, sorry.

            But we shouldn’t automatically believe as well. We need to doubt, not believe anyone who claims to be a victim.

            The rate of false claims is much, much lower than actual rape and sexual assault.

            And this is minimum debatable for me, at least.

            There are good evidence and arguments on the opposite.

            Do you understand what the word ‘opposite’ means?

              PS: I’d actually like to debate this in good faith, because both sexual abuse and false allegations are really serious problems that our society has to address by yesterday, and I personally suffered both (my mom and I were both sexually abused when we were children, and around five or four years ago I was victim lf false allegations on supposedly inappropiate behaviour towards a women, and while it was on a Discord server, it was still serious because she and her friends were spreading false and deceptive information about me, and even if I managed to reverse that and prove my innocence, the damage was already done and she was not properly held accountable there [that would have warranted a ban]) so these topics touch me a lot.

              I can more or less understand what your mother should have lived and I send her my most sincere hugs and good desires, and actually the same for you.

              I know I phrased it horribly. What I meant was, there are good evidence and arguments on the fact that they’re not that low.

              Sorry for the confusion, I’ll be more careful with the words I use in the future, and also, sorry for claiming you put words in my mouth, I’l address that. Thanks for pointing it out!
