It is critical that false rape accusers be prosecuted, even if it means that some false accusers will refuse to recant

This was never a question in my mind. It should never have to come down to recanting a false accusation to find the truth to come to light, so any feminist who uses this "you're shooting yourselves in the foot!" argument is derailing the argument to suit their needs. They have no shame.

There was an interesting case here in Iceland a few months ago. A girl accused 3 men of rape but in court they provided video clips of the girl willingly having sex with them so they were found not guilty. The girl was also found not guilty for accusing them of rape.

When this happened the girl was 19 years old and the men were 25+, they were supplying here with drugs and booze for days and the court came to the conclusion that they were not guilty of rape but they did use the girls drug addiction and their superiority to get the girl to consent to acts she would not have done otherwise. The court could not deny that the girl had in fact been used and did not convict her of any wrong doing either

Any other case, if you falsely accuse someone, you're facing jail time. Why is rape an exception?

"better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer

Unless (according to feminists) that person is accused of rape.
