today in statements that look true but aren’t true

i think twitter is in this sense a good way to get clues on things that have broken down in societal ethics, before they rear their heads in personal situations https://twitter.com/brookeab/status/1767237473825071457

i don’t think sexual ethics are hard to understand (consent stems from positive signalling and power balance), but otoh fake feminism like this empowers people to abuse each other with false accusations, reinterpretations of their hurt as someone else’s harm, etc

while things are like this though, nobody is safe from a rape accusation

fixing it is two-pronged – fix the societal understanding of consent, and elevate the severity of false accusation/defamation to match that of the thing being claimed
