Wasn't the finger pointing toward the medias and not women though?
It was at both. "Are some women in the feminist movement just using this issue in their quest for power?"
On that note, where do you think all this information about male sexual assault victims came from? Likely some media source, although maybe not 'mainstream'.
A simple google search reveals many 'reputable' media sources reporting on it:
https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/24/sexual-h...ntary.html
https://www.unilad.co.uk/featured/opinio...ay-street/
https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/med...harassment
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-...b35b821cdf
https://psmag.com/news/women-sexually-assault-men-92099
So the claim that it isn't being represented in media seems unfounded and more like some kind of bait for an argument, or maybe I was just lucky with Google and found things the OP didn't.
Of course you can find articles on this. I have already referenced articles and videos in my post. But the point is that men aren't the one's making this a contentious hot button issue. They aren't building campaigns around their assault claims. And I'm not suggesting that they do. They can however try to stop this from turning into an inquisition and the outing of people from their jobs or political office based 'only' on allegations.
The 14th Amendment, in declaring that no State "Shall deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws," undoubtedly intended, not only that there should be no arbitrary deprivation of life or liberty or arbitrary spoliation of property but that equal protection and security should be given to all under like circumstances in the enjoyment of their personal and civil rights.
Quote:The OP also failed to mention that there are also many cases of men being abused by other men, and even plenty of women being abused by women.
This has been mentioned in some of the articles that I posted as references.
So you are trying to turn people against the women whom you see as 'putting up a ruckus', then?
I don't live in America, so I cannot comment on its laws. However, only in a small handful of cases, even on that list you posted, has anybody been outright fired. Some have been suspended, others have taken their leave. There is also quite a number of men in that article who both apologize and admit to the possibility of misconduct, so I don't think it's quite as one sided as you make it out to be.
My point being, what's your point? What are you trying to achieve?
