One big mistake is to quickly label a woman a “victim” simply because she makes a rape accusation.

She’s NOT a victim. Except it’s proven.
She’s an accuser.

Let’s not be quick to give the victim label to evil opportunists.

Our sympathy should be for truth.
Not for allegations.
Labelling every accuser a “victim” before investigations, evidence or court verdict is passing a judgment- even though it is not in our place to do so.

Calling an accuser a “victim” means you have already concluded the accuser is guilty.

This is wrong. We all need to unlearn.
Many of us made this mistake out of concern for “victims”. But it’s a huge mistake.

A mistake that can cost lives.
A mistake that has now cost a young man his own life yesterday.

We don’t need more lives to be gone before we realise this “believe every accusation” is dangerous.
And with how victimhood works,
Some now see virtue in being “victims” and will do anything to be called victims for faux sympathy/support.

Unfortunately these vile scum will lie and make up false stories in the process.

We must reserve our sympathy for truth.
Not allegations.
