Himpathy: the psychology of why some people side with perpetrators of sexual misconduct

[@b.biscuit6424]

Ah people think she is lying, it's not that they empathize with sexually abusing somebody.

This is horrendous reporting that only amplifies the himpathetic position. It makes the assumption that any and all accusations are legitimate. The language should be “alleged victim”. I am absolutely not himpathetic and I do not believe all women or all people who say they have been harassed or harmed as automatic response.
