Only 2% are false accusations?

2-10% are proven false.

2.17% are proven true.

That leaves at least 88% that don't have enough evidence to prove true or false.

Why do they (feminists) like using the 2% statistic? Because it makes the false accusations problem for them to be a very minor issue, especially when compared to their often claimed 1 in 3 women are victims of sexual assault.

1 in 3 female victims sounds a lot worse than 2 in 100 men accused of sexual assault are innocent.

It's a common feminist modus operandi, manipulating the numbers to justify their 'argument' (AKA the wage gap)

Let's do some math...

In the USA...

2019 statistics:

The female population totals 166 million.
The male population totals 161 million.

If we take the 1 in 3 women have been sexually assaulted figure, that means 55 million 333 thousand women in the USA have been sexually assaulted. Or 1 in 3 women you know (family/friends/women you see walking down the street/etc) have been sexually assaulted.

So, following the logic of this figure that also must mean that 53 million 666 thousand men that you know (family/friends/men you see walking down the street/etc) have sexually assaulted at least 1 woman...

As to the feminist claims that only 2% of sexual assault claims are false, lets turn that into actual numbers...

If 2% of the 55 million 333 thousand women make false accusations of sexual assault, how many actual women is that? Why it's 1 MILLION, 106 thousand, 660 women making false complaints about being sexually assaulted.

So, how many actual men are being falsely accused of sexual assault?

2% of 53 million, 666 thousand is 1 million, 73 thousand, 320 innocent men being falsely accused of sexual assault.

So the reality is not a minimal 2%, it's millions of women making false accusations of being sexually assaulted, against millions of innocent men...

Remember, these figures are only for the USA in 2019. World wide it would be ten's of millions of women making false accusations of sexual assault against ten's of millions of innocent men...

But that's OK according to feminism, because:

Men who are unjustly accused of rape can sometimes gain from the experience. They have a lot of pain, but it is not a pain that I would necessarily have spared them.

If I recall correctly, the 2% statistic originates from an anecdote put forward by a female judge when asked how many of the cases she presides over turn out to be falsely accused.

I don't believe it was an actual statistic from her, more like an approximation of 'it had happened more than once, but so infrequently I'm not bothered to remember more than that'.

Considering very few cases are followed up on, let alone charged, it's not an easy metric to track and is heavily underreported. Because it suits their narrative, feminists happily parrot this number while at the same time claiming DV suffers from the exact same problem of under reporting.

And the world keeps spinning.

Exactly this. Just tried to make a post about this on the unpopular opinion sub and it was removed because the auto mod thought that I was saying false accusations should be punished, which is a common post there. Which is not at all what my post was about.

I think what everyone needs to do is start pointing out that the data they use to quote the 2% are false also clearly state that only a similar number are classified as true. So basically when they say only 2% are false, we respond with only 2% are true. Fight fire with fire as they say.

It's more than 50%, but nobody's going to believe your number over academia. Here are some common sense retorts:

"Every rape case highlighted by the media turns out to be a hoax. If it's only 2%, why is media's batting average closer to 110?"

"More convictions are overturned for rape than for any other crime. See the Exoneration Project."

"Fake insurance claims are only 2%, but that's because they'll investigate you and send you to jail for burning down your own house. There's no punishment for fraudulent rape accusations. A woman in England did it 10 times before they eventually gave her a slap on the wrist, and they were still reluctant to do it. Some of the men got jail time."

"The standard of evidence is lower for rape than for other crimes. It's usually he said she said. When DNA testing became widespread, rape conviction rates plummeted. It turned out that not only was there no rape, there wasn't even any sex. This is when governments started enacting rape shield laws to protect themselves."

It doesn't matter how many there are. They exist. That's enough.

May I correct the feminists: only 2% of accused men, have fair judges, who care about facts and not feelings.
