It happens all th freaking time, they use it as a weapon to manipulate the situation to get what they want.

I’ve been falsely accused of SA twice. Once at 16 and another time at 22. Crazy part is I was a victim of rape when I was 15, the false SA accusation case when I was 16 I didn’t even know her she went to a completely different high school, and at 22 it was a girlfriend who turned out to have BPD. This shit just isn’t fair man.

For my friend Joe, a bouncer in New Orleans, nightly. Tells me all the time of the underage girls trying to get into a club and he turns them away due to age and they either threaten to go to the authorities with SA complaints if they aren't let in to him having the police show up because a woman claims he had his way with her on the promise that she would get in then denied entrance. Thankfully the entrance is on camera and at this point the police don't even bother responding, that's how common they are

We don't really know in the end. But what's really concerning is that the general public considers any case which doesn't result in a conviction as if "rapist got away with it". But when it comes to false accusations they will only consider the cases where accusations have been proven to be false. So they tell you "less than 1% of accusations are false" when using their own logic you could just as well conclude that 1% of accusations are true.

You sir, are simping for feminist credits. In my life, I know of 6 false accusations and 2 actual rapes. Let's see... That makes false accusations 3 times the prevalence of actual rape.

An interesting video. I've always assumed that the 40% statistics was likely to be bullshit.

I've only ever seen it come up here. I'm quite shocked to hear it's come up in mainstream media. So I appreciate the takedown.

However. You're not as honest or free from bias as you seem to think you are. (One look at your back catalogue and the other places you chose to post this video, makes your biases quite clear. As clear as the potential biases of a non profit called "stop violence against women international")

Reading through the "more reliable" studies you cited shows that the criteria for considering an acusation to be false was indeed that it be proven false in a similar way that a rape must be proven to be true in order to secure a conviction: through either confession or evidence.

So Freedom Toons is right. Saying that that's how many rape accusations are false IS exactly the same as claiming only convicted rapes actually happened. When you say that his statement relies on the idea that an unproven rape accusations is as likely to be false as true, this is a lie.

His statement relies to on the idea that a rape accusations that has not been proven either way has in fact, not been proven either way. This is tautologically true.

You also say you've proved that a rape accusation is more likely to be true than false. Maybe I missed it but I don't see you proving that anywhere in this video.

I'm actually happy to assume that a rape accusation is more likely to be true than false. But you haven't proved that it is, nor how much more likely it is. Fact is, anyone who says they know is lying, because by necessity we are working with unproven events.

In the one study the criteria for considering something false was ONLY a confession by an accuser. And that study said 8%. So, are we supposed to believe that all or even most false accusers end up admitting they lied? Seems reasonable to assume the actual number of false accusers (at least in that study) is higher. Possibly much higher.

Lastly. It's pretty incongruent for you to tell us that the police are creating a hostile environment for victims whilst also showing us 3 studies that state that (at least in the UK) around 90% of accusers are believed by the police.

Near 100%. Seriously. People who are actually raped are usually embarrassed. So you have a weird situation where lots of rapes aren't reported, but the ones that are are all fake. A lot of them can be dismissed out of hand, for instance if they are reported to the media or the school instead of police.
