The majority of the time, attention. The rest of the time, 'revenge', exploitation, or personal gain.

This article should be required reading before the first time a new computer allows anyone access to the internet.

Although of course I noticed how the article didn't quite come out and say that nearly all their examples are women telling lies about imaginary evil men. It's okay to mention race as a factor, but god forbid mentioning gender.

It works.

Can't wait till they add the Jameis Winston accusation to that list of false accusations. It fits in line perfectly the big bad jock controlling the police oppressing the under dog female. He is also controlling the two witness' that were witness to the event.

People are willing to confess to crimes they didn't commit for attention, and we're supposed to believe they won't falsely accuse others? Get real.

Yet asking for evidence is not the same as doubting the victim. Instead it is appropriate investigative procedure to fully investigate a claim. When police determine that a false report has been made, it is usually in the course of a thorough investigation of the claim — in other words the deception is uncovered because the claim was taken seriously and fully investigated.

When these false reports are eventually exposed, it’s not uncommon for the alleged victim’s supporters to justify the hoax by saying that it was done for a greater good, and that it doesn’t matter whether the specific incident actually happened, because it represents many undoubtedly true and valid similar events.

It's a well written article. Keep mind of the second paragraph that I quoted, and keep it in your consciousness for when feminists use that logic to defend liars.

Not too bad.

Because it's easy and consequence-free.

Oh, come on. For every false accusation, there's, like, a hundred billion actual occurrences. It's so rare it's not ever worth talking about.
