False Rape Accusations

Anyone who pays attention to the news, at all, should remember the cluster fuck that was the Kavanaugh hearings. Resulting from that mess was the brief conversation that happened around the interwebs, on the opinion pages of news sites, and probably a good amount of interpersonal conversations as well.

The conversation went as such: If you're afraid of a false rape accusation landing on you, you're wrong to do so because it's so rare, and you're a shitty person to do so because that means you don't care about women. Furthermore, even men who are falsely accused of rape rarely see jail time anyways!

Yeah. No shit. The reason being is that the biggest way to determine if an accusation is false is if there is undeniable evidence despite the accuser stating otherwise (which is rare) OR the accuser confesses that the accusation was false (which is usually the case). So... of course the legal system will not give charges based on a certifiable false statement.

What ISN'T outlined about rape accusations is the majority of them are closed because there is no evidence to support either scenario. The implication in providing the "they're really rare" statistic was it implied the remaining allegations were true. In effect, it was a lie by omission.

And the above really isn't my point anyways. Here's the main point:

In a false accusation, the false accuser is rarely punished. There are very little, if any, repercussions to a false female rape accuser if she's found to be lying.

So, why should a woman be scared to make a false allegation if his life is going to be fucked up from it and hers isn't, even if she's caught in the lie? Where's the deterrent there?

Another question that I have never once seen given a good answer:

How does a man prove verbal, unrecorded consent to sex? This is how most consent occurs anyways. Other than his word, what defense does he have to a woman stating that the sex turned into rape? Throw in radical feminism's insistence that consent can be revoked at any time, even after sex, then what men are looking at is a fucking legal minefield that has this as a sign at the front of it: Intimacy with a Woman.

We have no defense, she gets no consequences..... and people are baffled as to why men, especially young men, are terrified of this?

Lastly: I want to be wrong.

Here's what you can do if I am: treat me as someone who has been lied to, and prove why that's the case, without being a piece of shit about it. try and see if you can avoid calling me an "incel" as that is the current insult in this regard I've found.

I'm not saying this to guard against my delicate sensibilities, but rather know that I am nowhere close to being alone here. Relentless condescension, name-calling, and accusations are only going to do one thing with the growing number of men who are convinced they're right: it'll reinforce their position, and you won't even see them in the comments. You won't even see them outside the walls of a public conversation, or a heated exchange on Facebook. Talk to them, not me... in this case here on Reddit at least.

So, if I am wrong, convince the people not leaving comments, the ones listening, that I am... and see if you can do it in a way that doesn't make you look like part of another growing demographic: someone who doesn't even give a shit and could care less about men's concerns and fears.

edit- holy shit this exploded. thank you everyone! So it looks like I have some work to do and I will endeavor to answer comments and questions where appropriate today. :)
