Malicious use of the law meant to protect the vulnerable is not just 498A. Women have even learnt how to wield PoSH or just the threat of it really well.
Everyone knows PoSH claims to be gender-neutral, but what fun it is to ruin a reputation when you're pissed off in the workplace.
Have you ever heard of a man making a PoSH complaint? Can you imagine him taking it to the HR and explaining it?
Do you know how many PoSH consultancies have had to repeatedly remind that PoSH is not meant to tackle other workplace issues?
What are "due process", "internal committees", and "harsh punishments for false complaints" when just informal claims can ruin someone's life and mess up careers?
It is systemic and deliberate, and the same vacuous women's solidarity groups provide the necessary echo chamber for its wanton misuse.
Some men are prone to violence, destruction and isolation in despair - sure; some women are prone to manipulation, convenient truths and malicious schemes.
Eventually, we reach unwelcome places like this - a dead man and a whole lot of "whom do we believe"? Meanwhile, his dying declarations barely budge state machinery.
I've seen countless women talk about men and their general boorishness. All the time. When it comes to sympathising with men and their problems, it's usually goddamn "crickets".
Heck - when it came to accused men - they almost necessarily have to prove their innocence in public nearly always; for women - a false complaint is just a misunderstanding.
Some women recognise the double standardsβthey usually have a brother or have seen it happen to someone they know. Or, after all the MeToo, they watched the Amber Heard trial.
I guess it will get a lot worse before it gets better.
And when is it that women are most susceptible to violence ? When theyβre old or too young or when theyβre pregnant. What a noble sex class men are to pick on the weak! Please tell me which sex class commits 98% of sexual crimes ? Oh right - men.
Iβm sure there is a case somewhere where some woman lied about experiencing violence. All people lie. But itβs pretty disgusting to claim thereβs a male genocide going on when itβs the female sex class thatβs been hounded and hurt and killed routinely and consistently through history. Theyβre subject to foeticide and infanticide as babies and their corpses are violated after theyβre dead. FOH with this bullshit.
This wasnt performative at all.
Also some of the statements on "weak men" etc lends credence that some people really need to unlearn a lot more about patriarchy and maybe pipe down on performative feminism.
One wonders what happened to being "strong and independent". Did that just fall away quickly and conveniently? Are men not supposed to speak but just provide? Is that it?
All this from lawyers. Meanwhile lawyers are the ones living off marital strife. Most people know bad faith advise by lawyer are part of the problem but clearly more to unpack beneath.
Absolute bonkers.
