The fact is that, while women do make false allegations in this country, it is overwhelmingly more likely like for a man guilty of rape to walk free. There are many reasons for this - women's reluctance to follow through on charges, difficult evidentiary burdens of proof - but a large one is the presumption that exists amongst many that a purported victim must have wanted it somehow, that she must share at least some of the blame.

We see that here in many of the conclusions that I believe were prematurely jumped to. So I guess I'm just not crazy about some of the language in this thread.

I agree. But I would also like to add that women who make false statements against men are more likely to walk free than pay any sort of penalty for any injury they may have caused the man they made false allegations against. The court system in this country is in dire need of common sense. Hopefully we'll see a day when there is proper justice for anyone who has been harmed by the intention or negligence of another.
