False allegations are not rare..

It’s commonplace in civil courts especially, and when children’s (read ‘women’s’!) social services or police get involved.
Literally the worst kept secret. BBC literally had it in the What We Did on Our Holiday script, where the main female character admits to lying. It was an attempt at humour and is an example of how well known fraudulent claims are against men in court.

False allegations are common.

Feminists will say "2-10%" of accusations are false hoping you'll assume 80-98% must then be true. In reality 2-10% are proven false, but the vast majority of accusations - 75-88% - are inconclusive. They are neither proven false nor true.

However, one must consider what "inconclusive" really means. It means any case dropped due to insufficient evidence, any case where the victim withdrew the accusation, any case police considered baseless, weaponization during divorce or breakups that is used to obtain leverage short term but not followed up on, etc. It's reasonable to conclude that quite a number of real world false accusations end up in this category.

One must also acknowledge an additional category as well: That many accusations never reach the police at all. They are made with friends, in private chat groups, on social media and they become gossip and accepted without any interaction with law enforcement at all. Those cases aren't tracked in the numbers.

Unfortunately, whether these are proven false, are false but remain in the inconclusive pile, or were simply made in friend groups with no police report - the damage to reputations, social status, and ostracization is the same.

Only anecdotal, but in my own life growing up I witnessed many boys face accusations that I knew, factually, without a doubt, were false. the vast majority of these never resulted in a police report of any kind. Some did escalate to police (often because of parental involvement) but remained inconclusive. None were proven true.

I treat EVERY women like I would expect a man to treat my mother.

Yet, I've had THREE false rape allegations that have seriously impacted my life.

- The first was in college where a girl that had a crush on me, got drunk in my dorm because she wanted to sleep with me, I slept on the floor, my two other roommates were there. Her bf found out she slept at my place and she said I raped her to avoid consequences. The school took it seriously and I got sent to a 'discipline review board' and they were going to kick me out. They didn't believe my roommates. They believed her. Her friends pressured her to finally confess the truth and the board cancelled the review. She wasn't punished because "that would discourage women from coming forward"

- The second was when I had a really crazy stalker. I went on a first date with her. I didn't like her. She became obsessed. Stalked me for two years. When I entered a new relationship she found out via our LinkedIn connection and emailed her a crazy diatribe about how I was a horrible person and that I raped her and that I would rape her daughter at some point. My GF at the time didn't believe her fortunately because the letter came across as crazy. But I deeply loved my GF then and I remember panicking that she wouldn't believe me.

- The third was my ex that came at me with a knife when I broke up with her. She then threatened to tell my customers and employees that I raped her unless I kept paying for her daughters college and her rent. I did that for ONE year when we broke up to help support her daughter whom I loved very much. I knew her mother wouldn't have been able to support her. The lawyer said I should settle for $75k rather than it go to trial because a jury would believe the woman and I would have to pay $250k so $75k was cheaper. Plus he said the lawyer would cost $75k alone.

... so that's what it means to be a good guy in today's society in the US.

I've always treated everyone with respect. Treat women very well. Would never hurt a fly. Hell. I'm a god damn hero and try to do everything right.

Yet this is what happened.

That's why I'm here. I'm tired of being around morons who ignore the facts. False allegations ruin lives! The mental gymnastics that the media uses to explain it away is beyond my comprehension.

Unfortunately, they are not.

The worst part about false allegations, is that after you are proven innocent, your life can still be destroyed

False allegations are so common that the police and the ambulance are mainly used to destroy someone's life.

If someone provokes you repeatedly, disrespects you, hits you and when you finally snap records you with a phone and pretends to be a victim - that's also a false allegation.

I remember the feminists phrase "Believe all women" - yeah right. I believe none of them now, even if it's real abuse. Some men have started doing the same things.

Ironically like the J.P. Morgan case . No evidence
