Can we please ditch the simple-minded 'Oppression Olympics' when it comes to rape and false rape claims?

Very good. The 'statistic' stating that 'only 2% of rape claims are false' is little more than a lie, yet feminists use it everywhere, even in academic papers.

The rape lobby is making very real political inroads to criminilizing masculinity. Why should men just shut up in this environment?

As always, a fantastic piece.

One of the interesting developments brought about by the MRM is that somebody is counting false rape accusations now. Before this they didn't exist because nobody talked about them, reported them, counted them or otherwise acknowledged their existence. The very fact that blogs such as COTWA can give a list of false rape cases has made it a subject. It's a reality to argued over rather than denied. That simple fact represents huge progress.

Being falsely accused is, in many respects, far worse than being raped. The negative implications for your life are certainly greater.

Even if the false accusation rate really is "only" 2-8% that's still a vast pool of victims.

I think that this subreddit is more focused on winning the victim olympics than moving past them.
