This accusation is kicked around constantly. It seems to grow with the retelling. I won’t comment on its merit, but Der’s characterization of it follows: > [@Der\_Trihs](#): > > It was a comment pointing out how ridiculous it would be if men acted as paranoid towards women as certain female posters were recommending that women should be towards men. I’ve never recorded anyone’s sexual encounters; I don’t even own a camera. And here’s Der’s first post from the offending thread: > [@What do you think about recording sex sessions?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-do-you-think-about-recording-sex-sessions/567602/20): > > That he was being either prudent or just liked recorded sex. > > Same. I’ve always been told that it’s perfectly reasonable for women to treat every man they meet as a potential rapist; I fail to see why it’s then wrong to return the favor and treat every woman like a potential accuser. The first post at least substantiates Der’s claim. I’ll note that the thread is entitled: “What do you think about recording sex sessions?” and that Der wasn’t exactly alone in his opinion, though I assume nobody else was as strident about it. (I haven’t read the entire thread.) Also I admit I was creeped out when I gleaned that certain posters seemed to believe that a false rape accusation wasn’t really a devastating smear. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/curious-when-enough-is-enough-der-trihs/658461)._
