Tips for men from Blaire Ostler about how not to be falsely accused

[Loren Pechtel]

Again, I'd like to point out that it's not usually men who implement these policies. It's women and others who work for things like regulations that protect us as well as men. Don't pretend that it's common for individual men to be thinking much about whether they might be in compromising positions in their day to day lives. Forget specifics like offices. Those places have been made safer and safer by policies and regulations that require certain conditions met and ethics followed. It wasn't the abusive doctors who sparked those changes. It was their victims, over generations and generations.

When the doctor who owns the clinic is male you can be pretty sure the policy was implemented by a male. It's just you are not male so you don't see the effort men have to spend to avoid problems.

Any reputable physician or medical provider of any gender has a second person in the room while performing any exam that might involve intimate contact. Period.

It is frankly a precaution against any allegations against the provider—not for the patient’s protection.

Disagree--I see this with male providers, not with female providers, even when it's very intimate.

I do agree it's for the provider's protection--which is the whole point! It's a considerable expense they go to in order to protect against false allegations.

However, suppose hypothetically that false accusations were really as prevalent as the usual suspects say. Then, they'd be just as prevalent as assault and other things involved in the accusations.

Really? Can you cite anyone on this board who has said that there are just as many false rape accusations as their are actual rapes?

Right here:

I would say more like half with these college accusations, as most are regretted consensual hookups.

Note that he was talking about the allegations through college "justice" systems, not all rape allegations.

The reality is false allegations are skewed strongly towards the young.

lol indeed. Don't want to get falsely accused of something? phands has the answer: Don't do it. Nobody ever gets accused of anything they didn't do, right?
