that is because HR exists to protect the company, not the employee. it would be a big media storm if that aforementioned reverse thing happened.
By making that statement HR was definitely not protecting the company.
They couldn't have foreseen that this would blow up, but they almost certainly would have predicted company damage if they had NOT parroted the line about white male aggressors.
These stories leave a bad taste in my mouth. It hasn't yet gone to court, so the guys allegations could be really be anything from the God's honest truth all the way to a complete fabrication. Yet there is a huge amount of irreparable damage by public stories like this. I was once personally on the receiving end of a complete false sexual harassment allegation from a coworker almost at random (someone I had almost no…
In all honesty, if these things had happened to me, I would've kept quiet since most people won't believe a 20-something male.

The issue is instead of helping the women that actually need these laws, they are mostly exploited by a small minority of urban, educated women to their own ends.
Well, urban educated women need protections too. The bitter pill to swallow is that there are people of all sexes and demographics who are shitty out there and whatever set of laws there is will be exploited by them for their own ends. Someone's inevitably going to get the short end of the stick, because the government actually isn't and can't be all knowing. (And nearly inevitably it's the disempowed who get the sho…

You've made the wrong takeaway. I was falsely accused of sexual assault by a woman. It has nothing to do with gender. It definitely can cut both ways.
