Mallory La Squirelle its not true.. more resent studies that asked both sexes the same questions got back that women are just as sexually aggressive as men the only difference is how our society views a woman raping a man or boy. And women do false report more than this article is claiming watch this video she explains it perfectly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnJwEFQUdPs

Jes Gou Yeah, don't go with what the CDC, FBI, DOJ and state law enforcement agencies tell you - believe this waitress from a rib joint instead. Sure, pal.

Kimberley Morse nice job using a logical fallacy to back your argument. she clearly lays out and uses university studies and points out the flaws in how they did the research did you even watch the video. If you did why not point out the flaws in what she is saying rather than just saying she does not know whats she's talking about because she's a waitress, and she's also and writer and activist.

the comments for any article about feminism justify feminism. fact.

Kristen Vardanega this has been dubbed the Lewis Law.

Sam Thorp Nobody said that victim blaming doesn't exist?

Exactly.

From studies done by the FBI and department of justice, as the author stated. And 5 people(including yourself) being falsely accused does not mean that false accusations aren't uncommon. Only 8% of accusations are false. You got a lot of false accusations which is terrible, but it's not reason to believe that this happens often.

Rachael Tyce Appold That's why I asked for links o the numbers. I never said my personal bias proves anything, I would like to see numbers and the methods used to generate them. 82,000 times more likely to be raped than be accused of rape sounds like made up stuff. Also the 1 out of 33 number is wrong. Or that website is using really old numbers for a specific reason, I don't know what however. I'd still like to see where the numbers for the 82,000 more likely came from.

Were the accusations done legally? As in you had to defend yourself in court? Somehow I seriously doubt it.

What the fuck? So using a source of fact which you deem unreliable is worse than making outrageous and utterly false claims wwith no source or evidence at all?

You are a special kind of stupid aren't you, This article isn't only wrong, but its wrong on so many levels thats its hard to know where to start.

You would realise how utterly retarded the claims made in this article were if you weren't so knee deep in your victim mentality that you actually looked for evidence and fact rather than just accepting everything that conforms to your delusional view of the world.

FYI according to the FBI up to 40% of rape claims are shown to be false... Do you understyand this number?? that is almost half of all rape claims

Darryl Worthington Where did you get the idea that I have a victim mentality, or don't look for evidence and fact in case it doesn't conform to my worldview? My comment is so vague, how could I have suggested that? I didn't exactly go on a rant, like you did.
I was trying to say that the article isn't as dumb as it first appears, which is what I initially thought. It actually uses government and law statistics. The last point is especially important, because we need to realise that men are victims too and women are culprits.
The truth is, while false rape claims are terrible, they are not as common as you think and shouldn't be as feared as they are. You claim 40%, which, excuse my rudeness (I'll excuse yours), is bullshit. Across most European/American countries, the statistics fall between 2-8%, including those reported by the FBI.
I think an article like this shows we shouldn't be as concerned by false claims, but more concerned by the vast majority of cases that don't get full investigation in the first place, false or not. If the law took rape more seriously, since it is a serious crime that shouldn't have cases thrown out so easily, a lot of men and women would have a happier life. In my country, for example, only 10% of rapes against men are even reported, let alone investigated. There's a seriously hardwired mentality surrounding rape that needs undoing.

Yes, clearly a self-titled "gender theorist" with no schooling citing bad, incomplete data knows more than the CDC, the FBI, and the DOJ. Also, you seem to be under the delusion that sexual assault only counts when its a stranger forcing himself/herself on someone they don't know. You should read up on the definition of 'consent,' as it is not legally possible to consent when too intoxicated, or passed out, or under threat of perceived harm. Also, the 1 in 4 stat clearly states that it includes all sexual assaults, not just rape. Now, by all means, call me a mangina/white knight like a typical MRA and move on.

Timbo Lampasona I'm not under that impression thanks for telling me what i know and don't. I know that its sexual assault and rape thats part of the problem. Sexual assault alone has a huge scale of crimes which can be serious to not as serious - sexual assault could be as simple as an unwanted ass grab during 2 people conversing or flirting or something more extreme. The reason the statistic is misleading is because people reading it will obviously assume its more of the extreme cases of rape and assault when that could not be the case. Which is not a responsible way to display data.

Also your views of consent is terrible. I am aware of the revised version of consent and its not a fair way to view it. If two people are intoxicated and they go home and have consensual intercourse how is it the man (who is drunk also) held accountable for what he does and the women not accountable for hers decision because she regrets the choice she made afterwards. Just because she regrets her decision does not mean she was rapped and this case happens quite often. And just because she was drunk does not mean she was rapped. Thats all i was saying towards the intoxication statement i made.

Jes Gou, I'm using the legal definition. Sorry you don't agree with that definition, but I have evidence on my side. Nice job trying to minimize sexual assault though, classic mra tactic of 'oh its not even a big deal, she probably just regretted it! Bitches be lyin' amirite?'
