So, here’s where I am on this.
Both things are true: real reports of doing bad things to others should be taken seriously, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
False reports should not happen.
The problem is that, since it’s possible to falsely report such a crime, anyone, whether guilty or not, can use that fact against their accuser. Additionally, the fact that there’s full assed legal cases where it turns out that the accusations of wrongdoing were indeed false, only serves to lean many people towards doubt.
In addition to all of this, false allegations can absolutely ruin lives. There are people out there on sex offender registries who didn’t do anything wrong, sometimes they lose their children, get driven out of communities, etc… It absolutely can ruin lives.
Unless you have money to burn.
If that’s the case then you can fight and win the lengthy legal battles you need to fight to win the case, or at least run out the finances of the opposition. In either case, because of the above and because there’s no conviction, especially in the case of the rich and/or the famous, people will either completely forget it happened, or they will see that the case is dropped/settled/discontinued or whatever, and think “see, they’re not found guilty, so they must be innocent”
Not realizing that not being found guilty, does not, and should not, imply innocence.
idk the comments in this thread feel very male centered tbh.
false accusations count for 2-12% of rpe charges whereas >80% of women who are assaulted don’t even get to report it - so why is there such outrage over the 2-12% of the 20% (ie 0.24% to 2.4% of rpe cases) that unfairly impact men and not the 80% of cases that unfairly impact women?
or do people think r*pe isn’t as damaging as false accusations?
and doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to solve both but what do you think should be prioritized?
The manosphere hate to acknowledge women as victims, and love to identify as one themselves
Why are either cases acceptable?
They aren’t, but we are very publicly watching a certain group get away with it, and everyone else being ignored.
Fuck the rich
Like Brock Turner, the rapist, who is living in Ohio. He has only served 3 months of his six year sentence.
My step father came clean for raping/grooming his own daughter for 6 years from her age of 9 on. He physically abused the rest of the children in the house, and my personal favorite, locking me in a room for weeks on end, not even allowed use of a toilet. (Took me yesrs to figure out it was because I’d have to walk past his beroom door to get the the bathroom, he didn’t want that, so He kept me locked in my own).
After he dmitted to everything when I finally had evidence to turn him in, ruining multiple children’s lives, he did 8 years in prison. 8. The mother fucker is a homeowner now. His children aren’t even homeowners. We all aged out as wards of the state, left with nothing and no support. Any extended family turned their backs.
Multiple other men of the family were known about, but faced no consequences and are still allowed at Christmas dinner.
I hate it. Yes false allegations are beyond fucked up. But my stepfather should have gotten more than 8 years for ruining the lives of his own children. My grandfather, may he rot in hell, got away with this shit for decades. Uncles who got away with it, cousins. Incestuous pigs.
I heard a similar story from a friend of mine, and I honestly wanted to get a posse together to go fucking kill their abusers because I knew the state would do nothing in comparison to the harm done. They didn’t want that though, so I didn’t, but goddamn the will was very much there.
What exactly are those thoughts?
Sounds like the formation of logic error.
Some say car crashes are dangerous. What’s really dangerous is metastasized cancer.
Being falsely accused of a crime can ruin your life.
why is rape disproportionately mentioned in this context?
Rape culture is pervasive in the modern world, but most don’t seem willing to have such a dark truth.
Both can be true.
In drag’s experience rapists will usually make a false allegation against their victim or whoever shares the victim’s story the loudest, so telling true accusations from false ones is necessary for holding rapists accountable. Why are people acting like it’s only one or the other?

those usually come from sexist, myosgynist and incels themselves, that they ruin lives of men.
