First post. Found on OKcupid alt lifestyle forum: fundafeminist insists that "made up peril of being wrongly accused of abuse is an absurd and mysogynistic trope based on myth" thread has NSFW language

This is the "Women Never Lie" mentality, and it's a disease of those who follow their heart instead of their mind.

BDSM, custody battle, false accusation the court knows was false, and bam, the supreme court changed the application of the law to keep the guy in jail. It is now illegal in Canada to wake your partner up with sex, even if they asked you to.

Pretty powerful for a myth.

There is quite a bit of good to take away from this though: everyone called her out on her bullshit.

That Jythexinvok person presents a pretty comprehensive argument against the person claiming that wrongful accusations of abuse literally never happen. It's nice to see.

Said by a 42 year old woman who a) has photos of her from at least 7 years ago and b) is seeing someone and is 'looking for friendship', yet uses OKC for that. While I don't want to turn this into an ad hominem, it's clear this isn't just your average person looking for a partner, and that she suffers from an unhealthy dose of solipsism. But you know what, who cares what she thinks? She might as well claim the sky is green, that wouldn't make it any more true.

"You can't wish away centuries or millennia of gender-based oppression by saying things ought to be fair. Context matters."

What's that? A bird? A plane? NO, it's SUPERMANGINA!

I want to note that BDSM is separate from equal rights. What happens in the bedroom is not necessarily representative of equality outside of the bedroom.

The real and known phenomena that I’m aware of is every rapist and abuser and their lawyer using this defense [that the rape accusation is false].

Too bad that people are giving this defence more and more credence by supporting those who abuse the power of this accusation rather than the real victims of the real crime. Seriously, if I were a feminist I think I'd be pissed that a theoretical friend's real rape accusation would be taken significantly less seriously just because some of my peers thought iot would be fun to take the meaning out of rape allegations, I wouldn't be supporting those who are not victims, and giving them the same protection real victims have. Makes you wonder where their priorities actually lie regarding rape.

Please... don't feed the trolls...

edit: before I'm misunderstood and downvoted to oblivion, I'm referring to the whackjob femenazi on the okcupid forum.

Dude! Whoever Jythexinvok is, he's my hero.

I love this.

At least most people admit it happens. I think false claims of abuse are much more common than actual abuse. If you abuse/sexualy assault/rape someone the odds of you being severly punished are fairly high. If you false ley accuse someone the odds of you being punished are very low. If you punish people who commit one crime and mostly don't punish people who commit a different crime you are going to get way more of the later. Especially when people are given incentives to lie. I would guess there are significantly more false allegations of DV/Sexual assault during divorce preceding than their real cases of SA/DV.

Of course no normal sane person would falsely accuse someone. But of course no normal sane person would rape or sexually assault someone either.
