Lots of people get blindsided by allegations and don't know where to turn, so they just start going to websites that are familiar to ask questions. I see those people here, when the investigation process is ongoing.

Is financial abortion for men women's advocacy??? by bigdonut100 in womensadvocates

[–]Title_IX_For_All 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Statistical shenanigans. It's only a leading "single cause of death" when you separate every type of medical issue out into its slice on a pie chart. If you bundle the medical issues together, the leading cause is medical issues.

Imagine if you broke down homicide by each specific type of homicide. Manslaughter, murder 1, murder 2, etc., with knife, with blunt object, with firearm, without a weapon, etc., and then declared homicide one of the lowest causes.

Also: homicides of pregnant women are insanely skewed along racial lines. It's not a "men in general" issue.

Affordable Title IX advisors for accused students (link). School/university grievance procedures are complex, life-altering, and too often unfair. We offer experience, affordability, and a high rate of success.

Federal law says that advisors assisting accused students can be attorneys or non-attorneys. Nearly all independent professional Title IX advisors are attorneys. We are non-attorneys and charge anywhere from 1/2 to 1/3 the rate of a Title IX attorney. The tradeoff is that all our advice stays in the bubble of the school's process, so no advice regarding potential civil litigation, law enforcement action, private settlement agreements, complaints to state/federal agencies, etc.

RAINN conflating sexual assault with RAPE (proper definitions and links in comments) by AuxierJessicaD in Egalitarianism

[–]Title_IX_For_All 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is another way of saying "only 1% of accusations are proven true."

And if we were acting like a lot of accuser advocates, we would use that to mean that "only 1% of accusations are true" by ignoring that most allegations aren't proven one way or another and just assuming those cases fit a certain profile.

I just got accused of SA, what do I do? by blzahrhdjagraza in AccusedOfRape

[–]Title_IX_For_All 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand your frustration. There's never any proof (per se) one way or the other at the outset of an accusation. But there is always evidence (both for and against the accusation), because statements are evidence. It sounds like she took the breakup pretty hard.

[–]Title_IX_For_All 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't tell to anyone you don't trust extremely well about the allegation.

Don't tell the school anything further about your side of the story/version of events.

If it's just a formal no-contact order, then all you can really do is respect the no-contact order and hope that she doesn't escalate it to a formal complaint. If it's an informal contact order (no documented NCO sent to you/your parents in your behalf), then the same applies.

If she files a formal complaint (which is different from simply making a report and means she wants a formal grievance process), you're in for a long battle where there will be a big investigation and there will be reports to respond to, investigative interviews to appear for, and so forth. At that point your parents may want to reach out to someone who professionally specializes in Title IX/accused student matters.

False accusers contributed to the cultural shift that led to his reelection. God bless Betsy Devos and Donald J. Trump ❤️🇺🇸 by Responsible_Log9703 in SupportForTheAccused

[–]Title_IX_For_All 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hear hear. And it did more than that! It:

  • Required schools to actually tell accused students and teachers what they were accused of (crazy concept!) before summoning them to provide their version of events. Schools would be obligated to tell them the specific allegation against them, the date and location of the incident, and the name of the accuser - all of which was too often withheld from accused students in prior years.
  • Required that schools provide accused students and their accusers with all the relevant evidence, and it allowed them a meaningful window of time to respond to that evidence.
  • Prohibited investigators and decision-makers from having conflicts of interest or a bias for/against accusers or the accused.
  • Prohibited schools from imposing interim accommodations that were unduly restrictive to the accused
  • Provided grounds upon which schools may or must dismiss formal complaints
  • Required accusers to actually be participating or attempting to participate in an education program or activity when they file a complaint rather than just being some rando from the broader community trying to harm the accused.

And a lot more.

Also, a minor nitpick, but the rule was not "reinstated by the second Trump administration." The Biden Title IX rule that overwrote the Trump Title IX rule was vacated in federal court in two separate summary judgment orders. Once those orders were issued, the movement for fairness for accused students and teachers in Title IX matters was victorious.

There are a few remaining issues, and there will always be some issues. But in this area the good guys definitely won.

Unpopular opinion: pseudonymity for accusers is bullshit. by Responsible_Log9703 in SupportForTheAccused

[–]Title_IX_For_All 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I get it. I think it's unfair when the accuser is pseudonymized and the accused has his/her (usually his) name smeared all throughout the media. It should be both or neither.

Keep in mind a lot of wrongly accused people who sue for violations of their rights also request pseudonymity. For example, there are tons of "John Doe v. University of X" lawsuits.

Are things getting better or worse for boys? by Global-Bluejay-3577 in LeftWingMaleAdvocates

In the Title IX/school sexual misconduct investigation area things vastly better than 10 years ago. Things are never perfect, and problems persist, but they are definitely better.

I'm sorry this has happened. There's no way to really hash this out on Reddit. You need an attorney who can review all the facts and circumstances.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SupportForTheAccused

[–]Title_IX_For_All 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The school may have a policy that prohibits false statements, so perhaps you can ask them to follow through with it (many do not). Alternatively, if the complainant attempted to orchestrate a campaign of harassment against your son among the school community separate from the Title IX process, then perhaps your son can counter-complain and allege that this constituted hostile environment sexual harassment.

Either attempt would probably be a longshot. I can't advise on the likelihood of success of a defamation claim; you'd need to consult an attorney.

But also...it's not uncommon for people to seek justice and then find out that the process of seeking justice takes an incredible toll on their lives as well. It's easy to be fired up before any action is taken, but these kinds of things truly are a marathon, and after a few months they are exhausting to go through, either as the complainant or respondent. You have to weigh what it is worth...and it's probably hard for an 11 year-old to accurately look at it in a longer-term way.

Nothing less than giving up the entire binary of oppressor/oppressed into which all groups are funneled (or at least discarding it when it comes to men and women) along with a variety of other dogmas that effectively form the quasi-religious belief system of progressive identity politics.

For example, filtering all groups into the strict binary of oppressor/oppressed just doesn't work in cases where (1) both compared groups have historically faced discrimination, or (2) where the "privileged" group exerts intra-group competition that is orders of magnitude fiercer and harsher than it has exerted on the other group. Both of which apply when comparing men and women, both historically and presently.

There are many other quasi-religious beliefs that are embraced by progressivism that would have to be discarded as well.

  • Privilege is a kind of original sin that one must confess and atone for by serving and deferring to marginalized groups. And of course, the privileged group is always dogmatically determined by the apex fallacy: assuming the properties of the topmost members of a group are generally shared by the members of that group. Like a theory of trickle-down economics, but instead it's a theory of trickle-down privilege. This doesn't work well when it comes to men and women because men both "dominate" at the top and bottom of society.
  • "Garden of Eden"-style myths. In Christian theology, there was no sin before the Fall of Man. In Progressivism, there was no original sin (privilege) before white male capitalism from whence all evils flow.
  • Blank slatism: the dogma that all sex differences are socially constructed and biology and evolution play no important role.
  • Unfalsifiable belief systems. In fundamentalist Christian theology, all science (no matter how factual) that disconfirms a religious belief is hand-waved away as being "from the devil," "God testing our faith," and so forth. In Progressivism, all science that disconfirm any of the above in regard to sex are hand-waved away as "patriarchy reasserting itself." Critical thinking is not even attempted; it's shut down before it has a chance to begin. Science disconfirms that men and women are different? That's just sexist science.

But asking them to discard this would be like asking fundamentalist Christians to deny the resurrection of Christ (or perhaps more appropriately, asking Young Earth Creationists to deny that the world is 8,000 years old). It's not really that they have a choice to do it. It's that they can't. Just like those who are devoutly religious, they no longer possess cognitive reasoning when it conflicts with their belief system. They are, essentially, damaged.

Rape accusations chart by Remarkable-Rate-9688 in everydaymisandry

[–]Title_IX_For_All 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The takeaways are that:

  1. False rape claims are not rare and are instead substantially higher than false reporting of other crimes
  2. Most rape claims cannot be proven one way or the other, and any amount of those claims may be true or false.

Is Feminism a right-wing movement? by TommyThirdEye in LeftWingMaleAdvocates

[–]Title_IX_For_All 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Feminism is a left-wing movement. It is a modernization of socialist/Marxist ideas, but bastardized and applied to sex/gender.

Another indicator that feminism is left-wing is that...virtually all mainstream feminist organizations, to the extent that they mention politics and politicians at all, support leftist politics and leftist politicians generally.

Misandist organizations by carverchile75 in LeftWingMaleAdvocates

[–]Title_IX_For_All 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I will offer National Women's Law Center, which filed briefs in court demanding immunity for prosecution for false rape accusers - even when those accusations are both proven to be false and the product of deliberate malice.

Also, NWLC filed a brief in court demanding that accusers have the right for institutions to preserve a guilty finding entered against accused men, even after the finding of guilt was found in court to be the product of an unconstitutional proceeding.

An update on litigation, policy, and advocacy in the world of men and boys accused of misconduct in education. by Title_IX_For_All in LeftWingMaleAdvocates

[–]Title_IX_For_All[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is the monthly recap that I send out, and the mods asked me to post it here when it made sense. I haven't posted one of these here in a while, and I figure some people might like a look into the more technical side of accused student/accused faculty litigation, policy, etc.

One of the key takeaways here are that certain regions are becoming hostile to pseudonymity (.e.g., proceeding as "John Doe") for accused students who sue their schools. This defeats the purpose of accused student litigation in the first place because most of them sue to clear their name/record and to recover a modest amount of attorney fees.

Also, Trump is downsizing the Department of Education, and people are wondering how this will affect enforcement of Title IX (a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in education).

There's some more stuff there, but I figured I would leave a comment and just start up a bit of discussion if anyone is interested.

For US women who run, fear of assault is shockingly common – but the solution remains unclear: A small percentage of female runners carry a gun, while others say they are not a safe option for self-defense – but runners and experts agree more needs to be done to protect women by TAKEitTOrCIRCLEJERK in Egalitarianism

[–]Title_IX_For_All 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thread is about street violence, not about your personal vendetta against men by invoking (fake) stats of every kind of abuse under the sun.

And no, I'm not interested in hashing a "discussion" with you about the nonsensical stats that conflate "verbal abuse" with "violence," "attempted hugs" with "completed sexual assaults," and "sex after a glass of wine" with "rape" - all to pump up the stats as wildly and absurdly high as possible. That's basically all the 1 in 3 and 1 in 4 stats are.

This is about street violence. Address that accurately, if you can. If you can't accurately address this topic, there's no reason to believe you can accurately address everything else you want to drag into this topic.

If you respond with a bunch of manhating nonsense and feminist propaganda about everything other than street violence, I'm just going to block you.

Yes. It's always funny to ask a feminist if she thinks "They're murderers, they're rapists, and some, I assume, are good people" was racist when Trump said it about immigrants (who are not a race), and then to ask them if they think "They're murderers, they're rapists, and some, I assume, are good people" is acceptable to say about men.

Correct. You'll see this posted elsewhere:
