Faked hate crime? At least sometimes, potential false allegations are taken seriously.

The news story itself is not men's rights related, in that it's not about allegations against a specific man. However, it's interesting to see the difference between the seriousness with which these potentially false allegations have been taken - investigation by the FBI, arrest, possible prosecution - and compare that to the arguments against prosecuting false accusers when the accusation is a charge of rape made against a man.

The difference in treatment is striking; here the charge is basically that of motivating a community to sympathetic but benign assistance, rather than a reputation attack on any given person, yet these women face 4 counts of criminal charges in response to it, while false rape accusers cause significant, lasting damages to their victims, and often face no consequences. I see this as another testament to the social perception of men as disposable; it matters more to the public - and to law enforcement - that sympathy was gained and resources wasted over an alleged hate crime in this case than does the potential for heavy impact on the victims of false rape allegations.
