For a long time I've been wondering why the feminism movement has been pushing the rape hysteria narrative so hard. Especially when the ones crying about it seem to be the most privileged, living in some of the safest places in the world and, correct me if I'm wrong, where rates have consistently been dropping.

I heard an answer from Karen Straughan. She thinks that it's a tactic to keep the price of pussy high. Traditionally, society and women forced men to commit (time, resources, etc) in order to receive sex. Now that the "price for sex" has dropped very low, many young men go the pump and dump/casual sex route because there is little cost to it. So, this just-believe-ask-no-question-rape-accusation gives the girl the option to make the man "pay" for it if she decides he should. She doesn't actually get anything out of it (other than revenge) but she can make him pay dearly. Thus, making it potentially very expensive, driving up the overall cost.

I'm not sure if I got this right. She was just answering a question in a podcast. I would be interested to know if this came directly from her or if it's based on something else. Anyway, I thought it was an enlightening perspective and that some of you might be interested.
