And no, this isn't one of those stupid joke threads that have a very not serious question.

Now, let's say a man accused a woman of sexually assulting/raping him

Who would you believe, the man or the woman?(The woman claiming she didn't do it)

I just wanna see what you guys think

Unlike men, women are beings of justice and purity, so no matter what, a woman cannot rape a man, as they are above such heinous acts. /s

If you see the man actively screaming for help while the woman is aggressively raping him, then yes... and you must beat the woman down and arrest her for rape.

It really depends on the situation, imo. My only problem with these kinds of scenarios is that either one could be telling the truth, but 9 times out of 10, even if the man was the victim, no one will believe him.

This is kind of why I have a hard time believing a lot of these scandals as of recently, at least entirely.
I'm sure there are people telling the truth, but there's a lot of people that are probably just in it for the money and are taking advantage of not only real victims, but the people they're trying to get money out of as well.

But obviously it's hard to tell, and even harder to prove who's lying and who isn't, but generally men are at a disadvantage even if they didn't do anything wrong.

Not to mention the fact that some people legitimately believe that men can't get raped because they "enjoy it", which is honestly no better than the people that say "it's not rape if they enjoy it" towards women. It's honestly disgusting.

As someone who is biologically male and has been raped more than once, I'm especially uncomfortable around people who actually think like that.

Given the provided scenario, it's a matter of "he said/she said" and I wouldn't truly believe either one. I'd seek more evidence and try to learn more about what happened before choosing a side.

I mean, I won't judge you for your opinion(Unless you are joking in which case I'm an idiot)

The "/s" at the end means he was being sarcastic.

Yeah, for this scenario you've provided, this is the answer.

Maybe I'm biased and obviously this isn't a great way to think, but I fully believe any accuser until given reason to not. It's my personal way of thinking and I'm not the law, so "innocent until proven guilty" doesn't have to apply to me I guess.

An estimated 63% of rapes go unreported. A study of reported rape case in 2000-2003 found 2.1% of rape allegations to be falsely reported. Among these false reports, some of the determining factors in classifying them as such included the victim not cooperating with investigators, delayed reporting, insufficient evidence, and statement inconsistencies from victims and witnesses. The false allegations are no higher than those for any other crime, but the victims of sexual violence are often accused of lying far far more than the victims of any other crime.

So basically I choose to believe anyone who claims it, because there's a 98& chance they're telling the truth.

this, pretty much
i'd rather support a potential victim than a potential rapist

As much as it pains me to say it, natural instinct would have me just a bit more skeptical of the claim than if it were a woman making it. Of course, though I wouldn't rule out the possibility and listen to the facts.
