I'm not sure I draw the same conclusion about standing up to women and the Muslim men issue in Sweden.

I still believe the accuser and the accused should be treated equally. If the accuser is to remain unnamed, then so to should the accused until they are shown to be guilty whether in court or in a business or social setting.

They cannot be.

1) For logical reasons: the accused cannot prove a negative.

2) For practical reasons: The accuser always has the initiative.

Therefore, the accuser must bear the burden of proof, and must be viewed with greater skepticism than the accused.
