It's in our instincts to always defend women no matter what. Someone I know is currently in serious trouble over a blatantly false accusation of sexual harassment by a girl who is apparently a psychopath, but the mob is taking her word for it and shutting out anyone who tries to speak up. These days it's guilty until proven innocent for most crimes, and that's especially true of allegations against men of sexually abusing a woman. Our instincts recognize that it's safer to accidentally defend a guilty woman and punish an innocent man because women hold 100000000000000x more value than men biologically. And the current wave of female-supremacist feminism isn't making matters any better. This is why women can get away with a slap on the wrist for extreme crimes, such as literally having sex with minors, and people will defend her and try to cover it up.
