I always wondered, why don't women get very harsh sentences if they get caught making up false rape allegations? I think that would discourage that sort of behavior and sort of balance things out.
- neaden 8y agoIt would lead to pretty much every man accused of rape with threatening to sue/press charges against their accuser and further stigmatize rape victims and lower the number who come forward.
- Dirlewanger 8y agoDeeply-engrained cultural/societal biases that women can do no harm. You can see it in the trickle of sexual assault cases involving a woman teacher/underage male student; the women often get a relative wrist-slap of days in prison, if that. And let's not even get started on how routinely and holistically fucked men get in family/divorce courts. You don't hear about these problems talked about though, simply because men are the affected parties.
- buboard 8y agoit would be more effective if there was a wide-ranging public campaign in support of men who have been wronged, like a #NotMeToo . Escalating a war of the sexes is madness
- xiphias2 8y agoIt's called #himtoo, and it was started by the mother of a false accusation victim a few months ago.
- flukus 8y agoInnocent until proven guilty applies to them too. What percentage of false allegations can be proven to be false, like the accused being in a different place at the time? Despite a couple of high profile exceptions I'd wager that's small enough to be a rounding error.
