This is a question inspired by a twitter poll i recently saw, so here is a bit of context.

Lets say there are three rapists accused, one is actually a rapist but two are innocent.
In these cases the girls are late to the party and can no longer create the proper evidence.

If you as the court decide to go based on the claims of the girls alone, you will catch a rapist and prevent him from doing harm however two other men will have there life's destroyed and get put in an environment full of criminals that since they are good man will get taken full advantage off in the prison system as they aren't used to fights or to defend themselves in a crowd. These guys will never get a job, get traumatized in the prison and will never be the same and there family will be without a father. However, the third rapist is caught and that means that you stopped him from creating more victims.

Or do you dismiss the cases based on the facts there is not enough evidence? The two man can use this to there peers to proof they are innocent, still have a bit of a stigma but since they are proven innocent they can rebuild there life's. But, the rapist is still around vulnerable girls and can take advantage off them at any moment creating new victims who may be to afraid to report and there for stop him.

Normally you wouldn't know how many are innocent, but this time its part of the question so you have a bit of an insight. You don't know who is innocent or who raped though, so the poll contains no options for further research as there is absolutely not enough evidence based on the case and even the lie detector tests where not consistent.

So Judge GAG, what is your ruling?

I have just created a myTake about the block button, i recommend you read it prior to giving your opinion if you want the full picture of what is going on. https://www.girlsaskguys.com/girlsaskguys/a51479-why-block-button-harms-the-gag-community .

It shows the risk of restricting differing opinions from speaking because the current system makes blocked users unable to participate in the discussion or give warnings when someone's information could have bad consequences. For example a user who politically disagree's with me blocked me on a political question unknowingly did a suggestion on an IT question that could put people at risk which i could not point out.

So, Should girls ask guys hide the blocked comments for the user so that other users can still see them?
Or should we continue blocking users from commenting entirely.

Arguments for hiding:
- Allows other users to both sides of the argument (As users who block a lot of people often block people who provide counter arguments)
- Users who got blocked are prevented from sharing critical information that can prevent harm. (Debunking things like dangerous health practices or when someone recommends useless protection or something with hidden risks).
- Prevents radicalization when idea's are left unopposed.
- Prevents the site from shifting to much into one side of the debate ensuring a healthy discussion.
- Actual abuse typically is removed by the moderators so this gets naturally filtered by the team.
- It makes it harder to see who blocked you making people less inclined to create alternative accounts.

Arguments for blocking:
- Users might see the comments if they are not logged in.
- Users who block could be confused when the blocked user interacts with someone else on there comments as they can not see the entire conversation.
- Prevents people mass discrediting others by purposely targeting all there opinions with false information (Should still be a bannable offense if its false information).

Some women define a "date" as an outing to spend time with a person to determine whether or not one is sexually interested. I wonder if most men are like me: I look at a woman and can instantly tell whether or not I have sexual interest in her.

What do you think? Do you date a woman to determine whether or not you have sexual interest in her, or do you date her because you already determined you have sexual interest in her?

*FOOTNOTE: Dear GAG admins: your rule about ending every "question" (and poll) with a question mark prevented me from being grammatically correct. Normally I would have put the question mark inside the quotes, where it belongs. Please reconsider this requirement?

Like this dude is handsome but because of some weight gain in his past he has some signs of it after losing it. You can't really notice it by looking at it but it feels a bit stretched when you touch it. Would that prevent you from being attracted to a guy or would you admire the dedication it took to get in shape?
