'Even false rape charges are helpful in advancing a dialogue about violence against women'

Sure, but at what cost to men? This sort of mentality says "as women, we want to advance our rights at whatever the cost to men". I can only hope the women quoted are not representative of the greater feminist community.

anyone else hate this "let's advance a dialogue" turn of phrase? it immediately makes me think "let's have a conversation in which no one listens to anyone else"

I don't think there's any truth to this statement, I've had many talks with lead prosecutor in my county. Despite a flood of women retracting their statements or trying to drop the charges, around 25%, he says only once did he believe the rape didn't happen (out of 3000+ cases). Among those that work in law enforcement there is this idea that women naturally tend to want to retract their statement. Don't believe me? go to anyone working for the prosecution or who works exclusively with victims.

I'm really surprised feminists have said this. Surely false rape claims harm real rape victims as they automatically get less creditability. It always makes me laugh how radical feminists so often do things that are detrimental to women.
