Ethan's beef is not with unfalsifiable claims...

...it's with the specific unfalsifiable claims that are not favored by public sentiment. To his version of "justice," the latter type of sentiment trumps the core basis of justice that the American system is built upon. Who he gives the benefit of the doubt to is not based upon where the evidence does or does not lead, but to the party who represents the demographic that the public has a special place in its heart for.

The fact that it will demolish the very notion of due process, destroy the lives of countless innocent men, and turn many girls into extortionists is not a major concern to him. He also doesn't care that the less scrupulous and emotionally balanced girls will by no means have to limit their adult male targets of extortion to those who actually did make the decision to have a romantic relationship with a much younger partner. All they need do is make an accusation against any man, and his ship is sunk even if he never laid so much as a finger on her under any circumstances, just in case there is the remotest possibility that her accusation might be true.

This not based on a concern for the well-being of girls, because this does nothing for their well-being, including their sense of probity. What it's intended to do is to deter even the most decent of men from making a decision he and the institutions he supports disapproves of on a deep emotional level, and to ensure that as many of them as possible who do make that decision are hurt and destroyed.

He is not appealing to the public's sense of justice with his stance, but rather making an appeal to their darker emotional impulses. I am not saying he is an inherently bad person who is doing this for the sake of being "bad," as he is not some cartoonish villain. What he is doing is simply what he believes is necessary to preserve institutions of power that he strongly believes should remain in place for perpetuity.
