sorry if this is a rlly rlly dumb question but i’ve heard a lot of ppl talk about men who were falsely accused of rape getting their lives ruined by the accusations, and i wanted to know your thoughts on this.
I’m here to take all questions, as long as the person who asks them is willing to listen and learn. So I hope you listen closely.
The most commonly cited figure says that 5% of rape allegations are false. This figure comes on studies done on college students, of which it is reported roughly 90% do not report their assault to the police. So, if we take the number of rapes that occur and the number of false accusations, that means false accusations occur at a rate closer to around .005%.
So then we must ask, what makes a rape allegation deemed ‘false’? The classic example in popular media is “young girl regrets sex, claims rape”. However, we’ve found in research that simply isn’t the case. What’s more common is a teen girls parent finds out she’s sexually active and files a rape claim, that qualifies as a false claim. Also common is grown adults caught cheating, rape claim filled, often then redacted when the truth comes forward. That counts as a false claim. You know what counts for the majority, though? Let me give you an example. In one case, the police determined that a rape had to be a false claim because people had seen the accuser let her eventual rapist help her take her ski boots off. This classified her claim as a false one. The police saying your claim is false gets it classified in those same fake rape accusation statistics.
So how many false rape claims lead to convictions? A study found that of 216 complaints later classified as false, only 6 led to arrest, and of those 6, only two faced charges. And then those charges were overturned. There is simply no evidence to support the idea that false rape accusations routinely result in serious consequences.
So then how do false rape reports compare to false reports of other crimes? Let’s run some numbers. Over a 25 year period, 52 convictions were overturned due to false rape claims. In that same 25 year period, 790 convictions were overturned due to false murder claims. So that means you’re about 15 times likelier to be falsely convicted of murder than of rape.
So in conclusion, false rape claims aren’t this massive issue people pretend they are. Additionally, if a man you know is acting very concerned that he’s going to get falsely accused of rape, you probably want to avoid being alone with him…these men don’t fear lies, they fear the truth of their actions. They fear accountability.

there was a trans march in mexico city days ago where this man, after lifting his skirt and flashing his underwear, yelled "hope your daughter gets raped, b*tch!" at a female cop.
TRAs and their obsession with sending rape threats to anyone that dares to disagree with them... nothing new.
Woman: I’m smart
Patriarchy: Well you’re probably ugly then
Woman: I’m creative
Patriarchy: You mean unattractive right?
Woman: I have all these incredible accomplishments
Patriarchy: Yeah but look how ugly you looked doing them
Woman: I have value
Patriarchy: Not if you’re ugly lol
Woman: I’m conventionally-attractive & posted selfies on my blog
Patriarchy: I’m so sick of these empty-headed chicks only caring about their looks. Just because you are attractive and get attention from men doesn’t mean you are special or deserve respect. Why don’t you read a book or do something productive with your life you dumb slut
I want to see more stuff like this (^ω^)
I have incorrectly been saying ‘burqa’ when I meant ‘niqab’ for maybe my whole life.
