Search Results: accusing people

Straightforward question. Reading a question written by a female it made me consider the idea. Just how common it is for people to not regard the standpoint of the opposite sex.

I'm biased so it's my personal opinion that most women unless they have a positive relationship with a brother, a father, or male friends that they oftentimes are incapable of putting themselves in a man's shoes.

Things like "believe all women" when it comes to rape allegations is a prime example. So many women will just say things like, "a woman wouldn't lie about that". But if you ask, "what if it was your father" they'll say things like "well my father would never be accused".

I've actually had that back and forth on this site. The girl had never even considered the idea of what a man would have to deal with and when I made it close to home she had to deflect it saying that would be impossible or would never happen because she'd have to face the unreasonable nature of "believe all women". That any man would be able to fall victim to a lie and be punished for it with her full support.

I know, the question is controversial, and it might not even be approved by those who run GAG, but I've noticed there are many here who are just downright rude, nasty and deranged. I will not name anyone of course, but I will give examples:
1. People calling for not the removal, but the assassination of Donald Trump. And they're not joking or being "ironic".
2. People accusing each other of being "paedophiles".
3. Personal, 'ad hominem' attacks launched in response to sceptics pulling apart the arguments of those who simply do not know how to present a convincing, coherent case for whatever it is they are arguing for.
There is far too much trolling on this site, there is far too much hate. It needs to be cleaned up, and a first step towards that would be to no longer allow anonymous posts. That option just shouldn't be an option.

I was one time that stands out.

As a young teen, 2 women at the front desk of racquetball club had me "pegged" for being the kid that went in the womens bathroom, took a womans purse, and dumped contents in the hallway. When I showed up to play one day, they called police on me. I looked like a real dirtball back then, an odd looking kid. They ID's me based upon my curly hair. They weren't absolutely sure, but they sure acted like it. Called the police... a black police officer showed up. I note race because that was rare for that area and surprised me even more, I had never seen a black officer to that point in my area. He was "nice" looking for an officer, not mean, I was actually comforted when I saw him.

It was really hurtful to be accused though, I was a sensitive kid and didn't lie. To be told I was a liar to my face by 2 attractive girls I admire. And nothing I could do to convince them, even with logic and evidence I wasn't there on the day of the crime. Their minds were made up.

The police man was very clear and direct there was no evidence of crime, etc.. and he never hassled or cuffed me, just let me go.

Long story short: It was another kid with curly hair that was very attractive and one of the girls had a crush on him. They never figured it out though... this kid was a real psycho, but they couldn't see it. He probably wanted drugs or something. Criminal never caught. I confronted the manager, front desk girl and the victim in a meeting, being only like 15yrs old. Was scared, but said... let me play, or pro rate my $ back... I'm tired of being hassled about this. Ddin't do it.

I learned this:
People can think they are right... when they are totally wrong
I was impressed with the office. Maybe I was lucky. Made an impression to trust officers
I lost respect for women.. they can be blind. didn't know that before. Before that, women were like gods to me. I had to learn more to understand.
Some people are mentally ill and will bold face lie.

You?
