It actually could be spun both ways by both parties too.

2018-10-06 13:47:35 UTC  

I don't get the obsession about the rate of false accusations anyway

2018-10-06 13:48:07 UTC  

It should always be a case to case basis, with the bases that the accused in innocent until proven guilty

2018-10-06 13:48:47 UTC  

The rate at which something happens should be entirely irrelevant

2018-10-06 13:49:46 UTC  

In terms of resource allocation or deciding what's a "worthwhile problem" good stats on the occurrence of these things do matter.

2018-10-06 13:50:08 UTC  

In principle you're correct, but in practice you often have to weigh resources and things.

2018-10-06 13:51:21 UTC  

In terms of #MeToo, if you can show that false accusations don't really happen, it makes for an easier argument that you don't need to actually go through the effort of proving the allegations carefully.

Which is what the "sexual assault" groups want

2018-10-06 13:52:02 UTC  

This led to the Title IX courts, which reached a level of ridiculous as to be their own satire.

2018-10-06 13:53:12 UTC  

Look up University of South California football Title IX for the peak in silly--the girlfriend who was "raped" insisted that not only was there no intercourse but it was all consentual. The Title IX administrators lectured her that she didn't understand her own rape.

Susan Collins is a good man

2018-10-06 13:56:47 UTC  

Half of all exonerees of the Innocence Project are now men have been falsely convicted of rape.

2018-10-06 13:57:04 UTC  

The average falsely accused man spends 11 years in prison.

2018-10-06 13:57:15 UTC  

Rapes are 1/20th of all violent crimes.

2018-10-06 13:57:30 UTC  

False conviction rates are about 4 times as high for rape as for other violent crimes.

2018-10-06 13:58:34 UTC  

This is an aptly named blog, because how we deal with rape allegations is one of the biggest human stupidities.

2018-10-06 13:58:49 UTC  

@Timcast you might want to consider using a different color palette for that chart

2018-10-06 13:59:26 UTC  

It is also ironic that they assume many of the unproven allegations to be true when they will not do the reverse and consider all women whose allegations have not resulted in a conviction liars.

2018-10-06 13:59:59 UTC  

In cases of unproven guilt, many do the complete opposite of what our legal system is supposed to do and simply classifies those men as "those who got away".

2018-10-06 14:00:47 UTC  

There are few evils greater than this being committed in society right now, how we treat our boys and men, how carelessly we destroy their lives, and how spineless we and prior generations are in standing up to this disgusting pattern.

2018-10-06 14:01:31 UTC  

It is absolutely reprehensible how we are smearing and dragging men through the legal system. The process is bad enough that it might be punishment.

2018-10-06 14:02:16 UTC  

Treating men like a disposable commodity is the status quo for basically all of human history. Sure there might be a few percent of men who live like kings, but the vast majority have always been cannon fodder or slaves.

2018-10-06 14:03:13 UTC  

Absolutely no justice is being served by dragging the names of men through the mud while their accusers can either cower behind anonymity or a huddle of masses that are so lobotomized as to believe every allegation uttered from a person who happens to have a vagina.

2018-10-06 14:04:40 UTC  

If this does not terrify and anger you, you are not paying attention.

2018-10-06 14:05:32 UTC  

What was the last major rape case that was hyped by the media that did not collapse?

2018-10-06 14:06:59 UTC  

UVA, Duke Lacrosse, Brian Banks, Jian Ghomeshi, Roy Moore, Brett Kavanaugh, Jay Cheshire, Jemma Beale, Mattress Girl, Mustafa Uruay, Kahn Strauss, ...

how many more until these idiots are going to pull their heads out of their asses?

2018-10-06 14:07:30 UTC  

is that in the UK?

2018-10-06 14:07:35 UTC  

Some times, I wish there was a truth serum

2018-10-06 14:07:40 UTC  

time to claim asylum in the US

2018-10-06 14:07:55 UTC  

I had to leave the US because of SJWs.

2018-10-06 14:08:02 UTC  

My life was destroyed.

2018-10-06 14:08:06 UTC  

hahahah

2018-10-06 14:08:18 UTC  

where'd you go silly

2018-10-06 14:08:30 UTC  

Europe. And I will try to leave this place, too.

2018-10-06 14:08:31 UTC  

Rape is such a complicated crime to prosecute. How do you ever determine if the accuser refused consent?

2018-10-06 14:08:41 UTC  

Where will you go from Europe?

2018-10-06 14:08:43 UTC  

No evidence? Do not fucking prosecute it!
