You do you, but your inaction is going to ensure more and more men go through this.

More men are going to go through this regardless of whether he sues or not. I can't imagine people who would do this kind of thing being deterred by a small civil claims court case somewhere random.

  It’s not deterred because the idea that men will actually stand up for themselves is so low. Mixed in with systemic sexism against men in the courts of course If you want to change that, men have to hold themselves accountable for protecting themselves against women. You might not like that reality, it’s not a good one, but it’s true.

    Civil court cases don't change anything, it's just dispute. And I don't think it's issue with sexism against men. I think it's social and judicial issue. I think it's good that people can come out and without expecting any harm accuse someone who caused harm physically or emotionally. But you will have people who will try to exploit the system to gain some lavage. Do you think social view on me gonna change if she was charged with false accusations? Nope, many would say not only I got away with it but also got her into trouble. And it doesn't remove charges from whatever blacklist I'm on. Issue is deeper than just sexism.

      > I don't think it's issue with sexism against men. I think it's social and judicial issue How do you define sexism or any other ism if not a social and or judicial issue???

That's unnecessarily judgemental and reeks of victim-blaming tbh. Would you say the same to a woman who has been raped?

  They made a factual claim. It is either correct or incorrect. Are you saying it is incorrect?

  There is a word for people who voluntarily pay large personal costs to benefit other people. It is “saint”.

  Often the hardest part of being a victim isn’t the victimization, but rather the aftermath that follows.
