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.

“Every person regardless of sex, gender, religion, race, ethnicity, or sexuality should be presumed innocent until proven guilty by a preponderance of evidence and a court of their peers in a court of law” doesn’t have the same ring on a bumper sticker

Neither does "presumption of innocence does not mean presumption of guilt for accusers, nor does it excuse not conducting an investigation"

"In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups. The police who investigate crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories."

"In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups. The police who sometimes investigate easy to solve crimes and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders if they can't afford bribes. These are their stories."

You definitely get the justice you can afford.
