Actually, there are more cases of domestic violence than false accusations.

protective orders are used for far more than just instances of domestic violence. domestic violence. Further, just because most accusations of domestic violence aren't false... doesn't mean that there doesn't need to be some attempt to verify the truth of the accusation. Arguing that 99 prior accusations were honest, doesn't mean that 1 time isn't.

How come we’re not worried about false accusations of robbery when they happen at the same rate as false accusations of sexual assault?
nice whataboutism. you don't get protective orders handed to you because you stole some shit.

Trust me, there are not karens lurking in every corner trying to make fake reports.

And yet... it happens... sure a lot of those are for stupid reasons. It's still pure malice, and it's still wrong. Amy cooper, did exactly what we're talking.
