     @bryansmart @matt the witch trials were a period of systemic murder and repression of women, which is nothing like the situation you describe. Get over yourself.

     Read the article, it answers this exact take.

     @drewdevault @matt The expectation of "believe all" when it comes to sexual assault claims is profoundly naive, unhelpful, and reminiscent of witch trials. Pretend you are accused. You know you never assaulted your accuser, barely spoke, were never alone, and had no physical contact. How do you propose rightly defending yourself? Evidence isn't required. Verifiable details aren't required. Anything you say will be taken as insensitive to victims. What will you do?
