Compassionately suspending judgment is not something we do well as a society. Battle lines are quickly drawn, sides chosen, and war begins before the jury is even seated.
Yeah, I get why it happens. Declaring a unilateral truce isn’t a winning strategy, either. That’s why I said society as a whole has a problem; if one side instigates, the other has to respond. I don’t really have a solution.
Sure there are. There’s a side that actively shouts down women who report, and there’s naturally a side that wants those people to, you know, not do that.
Oh, right, you mean in the societal pettiness realm.
I guess none of us have really good solutions to human nature in general, but the best thing that I can think of to do is continue advocating for believing victims in the sense that I explained it earlier.

I’m not really sure what you mean. There aren’t sides
