Also, to consider whether they have invited that kind of disclosure or shut it down by asserting that "women make a lot of false rape accusations," or whatever the phrase that indicates high levels of doubt on your part.
Just going to repeat myself here: most human beings lie, regardless of gender. The current accusations in Hollywood are being made by both genders. Any gender can be sexually abused by any gender. Any gender can be afraid to speak about it.
Some human beings have a compulsion to seek justice against other human beings who have genuinely wronged them and/or others.
Some human beings have a compulsion to wrongfully defame other human beings for their own egotistical benefit.
I can't pretend to know who is who, but I know all of these people exist, and I don't give them genders.
You quoted me giving reasons why a person might not disclose in order to say, "some people lie a lot." Later you qualify that as not applying to the topic at hand.
The quote gives my reasons for believing that people who shut down disclosure will have a warped view of reality. Confirmation bias squared.
