Don't see this as a statment on this situation, it isn't. But may consider...
>When a woman says "X thing happened to me" and you say "I have no evidence that X happened," you are calling her a liar.
>You're saying her report of her own lived experience is not 'evidence.' Women hear that constantly–we are perpetually having our reports questioned, our >behavior audited, our pain dismissed.
Is that really a woman-specific problem?
If a women in my country/society a woman says "XY raped me", he will get heavily investigated, be in arrest, be observed long time,
his name will be in the newspapers, etc.
Maybe 2 years later it was disproved, but his life is destroyed.
Personal freedom stops, where others are damaged. Finding the balance is realy really difficult.
Was it Julian Assange? A woman claimed he slept with her without condom and in that country it was legally seen as rape. How could he ever dispove that, if he was innocent? It is like a witch-haunt. Maybe jump into the garbage landfill and search for the evidence and do a DNA test?
Noone ever can know what really happened, so what should you do? Ruining his (maybe innocent) life? Or not listening to her (maybe true) issues?
>That said, many influential people in biohacking,
>many of my personal friends and many in Labitat/Biologigaragen have heard my full story and
>seen the proof and those people all believe me.
I kind of have a problem with "all people believe XY".
More people believing in it doesn't make it right. Like creationism. Or terroristic religions.
In 1934, whole Germany believed in *one guy*.
