> But in this case we still don't know who is wrong. This is the original letter https://medium.com/@yifanxing/my-experience-with-sexual-hara... and it was not shown false. All that the courts said was "no evidence was provided". And the guy didn't clearly deny it in the letter as I understand it

Just as a reminder, it's: "Innocent until proven guilty."

The accuser has to provide proof that what they say is right and until that happened the person is considered innocent.

You are quoting law concepts. If there was proof enough for legal action then "cancellation" would be not necessary right? Just go to jail for rape.

Often problem behavior is not criminal enough OR there is no proof to make it criminal enough.

If you were the victim what proof do you imagine your will have in this case? There would be no incriminating text messages. Everything is fine until he gets your college ass drunk in the privacy of own airbnb. The cards are stacked. A mature perp picks situation when there is no proof and no witnesses. And it is statistics that 9 out of 10 times it is a man.

Maybe the only proof if any after this would be STDs. Do you want to announce to the world you have some incurable virus that you will spread to new partner who you would want to have kids with? etc

Yea it sucks that fixing this mess makes men uncomfortable. If you are scared about getting drive by cancelled, you know who to blame. Other men.

> You are quoting law concepts

It's a concept based on the historic lesson that pushing innocent people is worse than not punishing guilty people. You seem to disagree though.

> Yea it sucks that fixing

This is shuffling which innocent gets to suffer, but is not fixing anything.
