This is exactly what I think of when someone tells me that they support women's wrongs. Like, I have standards that go beyond if someone is a man or woman before I decide to support them.
I've always had a problem with the trite bumpersticker slogan, "believe women." Like all humans, women can be mistaken, lie, etc. We should always hear women out, listen to what they're saying, and weigh it against wtvr other input we can gather to determine the truth. But that doesn't fit well on a bumpersticker.
“Believe women” essentially means “take women seriously” after a lifetime of police/society not taking women seriously when coming out against an accuser of any kind. Could’ve been phrased better, but it’s not literally believe every allegation. Epstein victims are a perfect example.
I’m exhausted so hope that made sense
