I don’t really understand what “believe women” means (explain it to me pls)
I for sure as hell ain’t believing an Israeli woman and when I look at history it’s not really a good thing if you remember how many black people (men and women) suffered from the bs that white women spewed
But from what I’ve seen the allegation looks quite damming and the people accusing him seem legit
This about Caesar Chavez (Union guy?) not our boy Hugo
It's not that women are magical creatures that can't lie, but that there's a history going back the full length of history more or less of women being dismissed out of hand when they speak up about being abused. The slogan is basically just trying to convey that we shouldn't do that and should instead take such claims seriously.
I think it's a bad slogan because the wording does carry a connotation of being uncritical (in the sense that if you investigate the claim and find it doesn't make sense, you're not "believing women" anymore), but that's not what the slogan is supposed to mean.
Thank you
