You wouldn’t get a chance to quit either one, probably.

The job might fire the accuser - they might have an incentive to investigate.

At the gym you might get arrested and then banned, with no one interested in doing followup to figure out the actual truth - just have you released after it was clear it was fake. The gym wouldn't want anything to do with you either way afterwards.

I don't disagree with any of that. I'm just saying the repercussions for whatever things like that happen, they will be lower at the gym compared to the workplace.

I think you might want to re-read my comment.

I have now re-read your comment. I did not find anything there that I would've misunderstood. Can you explain to me what you feel I misunderstood?

Being arrested in public often has much more far reaching negative consequences than the accuser being fired, and you not being arrested.

Assuming work is going to actually investigate before acting of course. They do at least have some incentive on that front - if they need you more than the hassle it creates.

The current society propaganda is society doesn’t need men, so if it’s a woman doing the accusing, don’t expect society to want to investigate. Unless you’re in an area which is ‘anti’ that and the cops think they can manage it. They’re very unlikely to actually pursue charges of false accusations though, that opens a giant can of worms almost everywhere.

It takes a really compelling and provably nasty situation for someone to be willing to risk the backlash from a pretty woman crying and wailing - who you know is more than willing to make false allegations.

Women’s ‘power’ is their beauty - aka the drive others have to make them want them. As to if it’s manipulation or influence depends on the degree of intended mutual benefit in it.

Men’s ‘power’ is their physical violence (which can allow them control over resources), aka their ability to physically force someone or something to ‘comply’. As to if it’s warlord style or ‘community policing’ depends on the degree of intended mutual benefit in it.

Women are more used to the how and why behind false allegations and have the social tools to deal with it better, where most men are going to be powerless except in specific circumstances (Cops, and gay men, maybe - depending on the venue).

There is a reason society has been shitting on cops lately, btw. It hasn’t escaped their notice, I assure you.

Look at how much of the population supported amber heard during the trial if you don’t believe me.

Usually they’d just ignore it after it was obvious what was going on, and threaten the false accuser with a criminal charge - but not actually charge her.

HR is used to more ‘active’ management than the gym. If they’re under a lot of public pressure though, they might want to burn you even worse to appease the folks squeezing them.

Depends on the leadership incentives, and how much ‘force’ the other party wants to apply.

Google, for instance? Oh boy.
