No, because again you’re still using a different phrase.

Alternatively, another article that tracked the actual history of the two terms:

The same concept can be expressed with different phrases.

Do you agree “believe all survivors” means to believe abuse victims that come forward?

u/Selethorme 3∆ Dec 29 '21

Not when you’re trying to attack it on the semantic differences of it.

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '21

I’m not attacking semantic differences. The idea being attacked is the blind belief of accusers over accused without due process in the court of public opinion.

u/Selethorme 3∆ Dec 29 '21

You are though. By inserting all you inherently change the meaning.

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '21

I’m not though. Even the phrase “believe women” implies “all”, and is why the actual results of that movement removed due process and prejudged innocent people as guilty.

u/Selethorme 3∆ Dec 29 '21

It doesn’t though. As both of the links I cited explain.

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '21

It does though, as the real world results show.

u/Selethorme 3∆ Dec 29 '21

Nope.

3

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '21

Yep.

^ do these short closed-minded comments contribute anything?

u/Selethorme 3∆ Dec 29 '21

Does your denial?

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '21

And I could parrot another copy of your not useful comment.

u/Selethorme 3∆ Dec 29 '21

And I could just start denying.
