The Tide may finally be turning

Finally the courts are starting to take these things seriously. It is far too easy for someone to make up false claims and face no consequences.

Our courts have always 'taken these things seriously', but they were historically slow to give restraining orders for protection from abuse. And no, it's not so easy for someone (you mean women) to make false claims (against men) and face no consequences.

For some reason, you've got the impression that false accusations and bogus court orders outnumber unreported and/or non-prosecuted sexual assaults. That men are somehow being victimized by lying women and over-zealous courts, and in great numbers. You're letting the instant news cycle and social media confuse you on the facts.

The fact is that it is nearly impossible to tell if an accusation is false or true without actual physical evidence. People bandy about claims of 'oh x% of accusations are false' but there is no real way to determine that. Almost all of the false accusations that come to light are due to the sheer incompetency of the accusers. The intelligent ones... shit we probably will never know.

You started this thread without citing any facts. You made a conclusion, without facts, and found a source (that linked to TMZ ) to support your position.

The "Tide may finally be turning" when you stop doing that.
