So I posted this exact post on /r/AskFeminists and I received this response from a mod: "Dude, we aren’t the people who determine the severity of criminal punishment, nor are we the people who categorize what kind of crime something is. Go blame someone besides feminists. We are not having this argument again. See the umpteen million past threads on the topic if you actually want to know what we think and not just tell us what you think (because this is AskFeminists, not RantAtFeminists). Post is removed."

and was immediately banned. I don't get it, do feminist not care about male victims of false accusations, or do you think there is something wrong with the way I've asked this?

I was just watching a video on YouTube about a man that spent a full year in prison, and lost his job and all scholarships because of a false rape accusation. The woman was charged and only spent roughly 35 days in country jail with a fine.

My question to you, is how is this fair? I've often heard the sentiment that making punishments for false rape accusations more harsh will dissuade real rape victims from coming forward, but shouldn't you be telling this to people that make up the false rape accusations in the first place rather than the men that were victimized from them? If anything were to make it harder for victims to come forward, that would be the fault of people who make up these accusations and I don't see why the victim of the accusation should not see their justice because of that.

Also, I'm not even advocating that rape and false rape crimes get the same sentence, they are obviously two different crimes. But it is asinine to me that people pretend that it is simply "a false police report" and should be treated as such, considering that a rapist is pretty much the most vile thing you can be in our society - therefore such an accusation will destroy you way more than any other kind of false accusation.

I guess it just bothers me that some people think that a slap on the wrist is an adequate punishment for lying about a type of crime that can land you in prison for the rest of your life and essentially destroy your livelihood to an extent that you can never recover from even if it was proven a lie, yet these same people are willing to criticize how the police handle rape victims and rape kits.

Both obviously need to be treated seriously - like a crime that violates a person's being and should be treated accordingly.

I'm not here for an argument, it just makes zero sense to me, so I am asking. Hopefully none of the language used is offensive.

That is word for word what I posted and instead of having and intelligent conversation about it, their response was to get pissed and then ban me. It is truly a shame, because I really wanted to learn about their world views but I guess I now know.
