Evidence. I'll believe evidence.

Ngl surprised people didn’t pick neutral as that would be the one I picked as there’s no evidence. (But it’s opinion)

What's the point of this post? Are you doing something with the data? Is there some reason behind it? I fail to see how this has anything to do with Men's rights, or what you want to see happen here.

Plus, not only did you not put any effort into the post, you couldn't even be bothered to spell out the word "you".

It should be neutral until evidence comes forth. If you automatically take sides that is by definition either misandry or misogyny, depending on whose side you take. The people who would automatically believe a man over a woman are basically the same as those who would believe a woman over a man.

Do you realise that the poll shows without the question unless you click on the post? Given that other polls dont have this problem, it feels deliberate.

I imagine some people have just taken it as are you a man/woman/neutral without clicking onto the post and seeing what you are actually asking.

If a man says he got raped, the odds are he is telling the truth IMO. Men get ostracized for even saying they got raped, so if a man makes an accusation he would know he is risking a lot. That’s why I would believe the man. Not to say the woman could be right though, I just am more inclined to believe a man wouldn’t make a false accusation, as men rarely report rape, so when they do report a rape the odds are the man is telling the truth. Just my opinion and I may be wrong.

Men are bigger and stronger than women. The majority of rapes are male on female.

So statistically speaking if no other information is available, I would bet the woman is telling the truth. But I would not think it's impossible that it's the other way around. Just less likely.

It's like if a man and a woman each say they are software engineers. Whom will I believe if the parameter of the question is that one of them must be lying? I would bet on the man. Just because the vast majority of software engineers are male.

DISCLAIMER: THIS DOESN"T MEAN THAT FEMALE ON MALE RAPE DOESN"T HAPPEN

I’m a female. Trying to answer from as unbiased a standpoint as possible. I chose neutral.

On one hand, it takes a lot for a man to admit getting raped assuming it’s true. Women receive far more social support when it comes to assault than men, and some men even receive ridicule from people around them for it.

On the other hand, It would be the perfect way to deflect the woman’s accusation if she’s telling the truth (because they are treated much more harshly than women regarding accusations, making it easier to believe) and men are physically stronger than women on average. Not trying to say rape isn’t possible from woman to man because of the strength difference, it 100% is and has happened before, it would just be harder to fight off for women.

Gonna have to go neutral on this one. It would be easier to decide if given a legitimate pair who did this and analyzing their defenses, microexpressions, etc. Interesting question though.

I personally picked neutral, but I can see what people who voted men were thinking.

The statistics of false rape accusations by women is getting high. Around 8-10%. But that is provable false statistics. The ones that are likely false/unsubstantiated/potentially false is 54% from many circumstances that might make it either of those options.

There is no false rape accusations rates for men though. Even if they lied just as much, they still aren't able to prove it. Many courts and most of society is biased against male victims therefore not having a chance at the first place, they won't make any damage so why would they even try? They are likely telling the truth because most victims try to do extreme stuff to prove it. And each male victim describes the exact same thing. Them not being allowed to do anything about their perpetrators.

You can't be to sure now because it goes from catcalling being rape to actual sexual assault :p
