Holy cow. I knew women didn't think twice about making these sorts of accusations when they needed to get out of trouble or wanted to ruin the mans life, but doing it just to save a little money on an STD test?! That's a level of depravity that surprises me.
False sexual assault allegations are incredibly rare. The much bigger issue is the fact that only a tiny percentage of real assaults are reported. Often because of exactly the kind of rhetoric you're showing here.
No they are not rare. Up to 40% according to one study.
What study might that be? All the data I'm finding puts the estimate between 2-10%.
I wouldn't say 10% is rare. Also, that's 10% that were discovered to be false, so I would imagine there's some variation there and these results are probably higher for POC.
Bullshit. I've been falsely accused at least three times, one time actually got the police involved. Thankfully they realized what happened before it could go to trial... (Turned out to be a miscommunication. Family member was overheard by a teacher at her school saying she saw me naked... turned out they never asked the context.. as soon as they realized this was just a case of "walked in on someone while in the shower" the investigation was dropped)
I'm not even a guy, but every guy I know has a story about some girl who claimed something "went down" that didn't or some dumbass calling them a pedo when they were in public with an underage relative.
Hell one of my other false accusations was just me with my younger brother in public... dumbass saw me leading him around and assumed I was up to something.. and not just being a responsible older sister.
You're either hanging out with the wrong people or leaving out some important details. I don't know a single guy who has ever been charged with rape, though I know a couple who should have been.
Maybe you're hanging out with the wrong people, I know a guy who was straight up stabbed by his ex-girlfriend.
Police came by, saw him bleeding, and even with witnesses explaining the situation. HE was still the one getting the domestic violence charge.
We live in a society where regardless of the situation the male is the predator and the woman is the victim.
