MODERATORS
Yeah from how it has been worded "has there ever been a woman that lies about sexual assault" is a valid interpretation of the prompt and unsurprisingly anyone interpreting it that way will answer "yes, absolutely." Who knows how many of those people actually harbour misogynistic beliefs though.
what qualifies as a misogynistic belief? we have to be clear about that.
in 2026 there lots of people who think and argue that women and men having equal rights is misogynistic. like i believe that, and i say that, and i have had people in real life, tell me I'm a misogynistic piece of shit for thinking that. because their POV is that women deserve more rights than men, either to 'right history's wrongs' or because they think women are inherently disadvantaged/inferior to men and must be 'boosted'. or see trans rights, as misogyny.
