For the Guys. False Rape Accusations: Discuss

[polimicks]

zabieru asked me if I'd be willing to host a discussion amongst the guys on their take on the "Epidemic" of false rape accusations that gets trotted out every time I, or any other woman, starts to talk about rape.

Yes, I know, I'm not so good at reining in the bias about this topic.

So, I'll be turning this over to the guys. I will not edit. I will not delete unless the venom and name-calling get out of hand. I will let the guys have this discussion, and urge the girls to let them have it as well. If you fear it will be too triggering, don't read it.

This post is ALL about the comments, so it's in their hands.

See, that's about my PoV. There's also the fact that someone socially accused of raping someone else becomes a pariah EVEN WHEN it's shown they couldn't have done it, in some cases.

I have, in the past, been the WMD.

But you see that none of that has anything at all to do with our criminal justice system or the experiences of actual or supposed rape victims in dealing with the criminal justice system, right?

I mean, there's reasons why someone would think that they were related, but they'd actually be incorrect in that supposition.
