#HimToo: Twitter mocks mother's viral post on son's 'false accusations' dating fears

A mother has been ridiculed for posting a tweet in which she claimed her son did not go on solo dates over fears of "false sexual accusations".

The since-deleted tweet by @MariaReynoldsC3 read: "This is MY son. He graduated #1 in boot camp. He is a gentleman who respects women.

"He won't go on solo dates due to the current climate of false sexual accusations by radical feminists with an axe to grind."

The post, which was accompanied by a picture of her son in a Navy uniform, quickly went viral.



The tweet had been widely shared, immediately casting him as the poster boy for the #HimToo movement.

The movement has recently been seen by some as the antithesis of the #MeToo movement, suggesting that in the wake of the Brett Kavanaugh scandal men are frequently victims of false sexual assault accusations and that many accusers are liars.

You seriously think he'd get into trouble by going on one-on-one dates?

Whether he is a sex maniac, or the victim of "false sexual accusations by radical feminists with an axe to grind," he's protected if he's in the company of others.  Plus, there's plenty of cameras around if he stays out of any private homes/apartments.

It's all good.

So it sounds as though you're buying 100 percent into this narrative being pushed by the right, that all men need to be afraid of being falsely accused.

My comment was cross-conditional--"whether he is [1] a sex maniac, or [2] the victim of 'false sexual accusations by radical feminists with an axe to grind'"--allowing for either possibility.  I don't know how you would know which way I'm going.

The one known quantity is, if he isn't in the company of others he's making himself vulnerable.  Ergo: Don't go alone.

How many times are we going to fall for it?

"All Muslims are terrorists. All soldiers are baby killers."

"All black people are criminals. All cops are racist."

"All Christians hate gays. All gays hate Christians."

"All women want to get men locked up. All men want to rape women."

Fuck that shit!

I don’t think these women are victims.

I think they consented.

Maybe he doesn't want his mum to know he's gay  ?

Or prefers those loose wimmin folks..

Or he's simply not looking.

Not sure why you then assume he then has to be gay?

Anyway, his mum made this claim, not him, which he then went onto refute.

See how easily this mans life could have been ruined by social media? Due to what his mum did?

Seems nobody read the article in full

However there is certainly men out there afraid to even talk to women, as they have had false accusations against them

I merely gave three various possibilities there, Dodge  :

That he could be gay (just look at that effete photo of him..);
That he likes playing around (i.e. the "loose wimmin'" reference);
or maybe that he simply isn't really interested in dating random women...

You're the one concentrating on the 'possibly gay' aspect..

But that's bullshit! And you are definitely buying into this false narrative of the world crawling with women just waiting for an excuse to falsely accuse a man of rape.

Muslims?  Terrorists?  Baby killers?  Blacks?  Cops?  Christians?  Gays?

My head is spinning with all the issues you make of this story.  The guy is just a sailor, barely out of the crib.  Probably the first time away from home.  If he keeps good company, he will stay out of trouble.  What is wrong with that moral?

Her son, Pieter Hanson, was reportedly sitting a marketing exam at the University of Central Florida when the post went viral and only realised when his friends told him his mother had accidentally turned him into a Twitter meme.

The tweet had been widely shared, immediately casting him as the poster boy for the #HimToo movement.

Mr Hanson has made it clear he did not approve of his mother's message, posting on Twitter: "That was my Mom.

"Sometimes the people we love do things that hurt us without realising it. Let's turn this around. I respect and #BelieveWomen . I never have and never will support #HimToo.

"I'm a proud Navy vet, Cat Dad and Ally. Also, Twitter, your meme game is on point."

Mr Hanson's brother, Jon, also distanced himself from his mother's post, calling it "ridiculous"

I have no idea what you are talking about.  I've given you all the possibilities, and I personally have stood for none.  All I've said, in effect, is that if he remains among true friends, he won't get into trouble.  I think that's a universal truism.

I think you're being a bit like didge, looking for controversy by going down rabbit holes and false leads.  Only...you are not usually so needful of winning that you go looking for competition.  Wassup?

Yeah, no. You're not pulling me down your own rabbit hole.

You agreed with her premise, and that's a bullshit thing to do, because it basically would mean the world is just crawling with wicked false rape-accusing women and poor wittle Brett Kavanaugh is just a victim! And many other like him/who like him.

That is telling porkies, as you affirmed he was gay and did not want his mother to know he was

So do not even attempt to try and pull the wool over anyones eyes and clearly its as clear as day what you wrote

You never even read the article properly did you?

Bullshit,  Dodge...

I simply gave three other alternative possibilities for his current (non-)dating behaviour --  as opposed to his mother's one definitive reasons..

What don't you understand about "maybe..  if..  or.." lines of reasoning there,  Dodger  ???

Accuracy in debate is not didge's forte.  Nor is responsibility.  He finds a million different rabbit-holes, and when they don't work out he goes on without remorse.
