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.

P.S. Respectfully, the alleged "myth" that everyone thinks women always lie about rape is a straw man used by feminists to raise awareness about rape and to minimize false rape claims. No reasonable person believes that all women lie about rape in this day and age. Perhaps at one time in the past, not today. In fact, the opposite is far closer to the truth about what people believe. How to test it? Any time a woman claims she was raped, even the news media implicitly believes her -- and the guy's name is splashed all over the newspaper for world to titilate to his humiliation. Check out my Web site and see the harm that is inflicted on men and boys on the basis of a claim that turns out to be false. They've been beaten and killed (honestly -- killed), they've lost their wives, girlfriends and businesses because of false rape claims -- all because the accuser is automatically believed, and the guy's reputation is pretty much destroyed. Some guys are forced to move away (even when it's proven the claim was false).

Yet to raise awareness about rape, feminists keep trotting out this manufacturered "myth" that everyone thinks all women lie about rape. It is a myth that people actually believe THAT.
