I know yall won’t understand, but I was falsely accused thru frats who made it a big deal on Yik yak the girl had to apologize to me but by then it was to far gone the rumors had been spread on here. So I know what it’s like to have a false accusation at an activist school, yall talk like you know the literal facts and what happened you do not. I will NEVER sympathize with a rapist from my own experience though I can tell you never speak on an incident you have no knowledge of.
It’s literally just turning it around on men. No one actually believes that men shouldn’t leave the house. The point of the post was to show how men have created an environment where women have to go to these extreme lengths to stay safe, and now men are getting mad that they have to as well.
It’s satire. The post is listing all of the things that women typically have to consider to avoid sexual harassment and/or violence from men. When men go on about false accusations ruining lives, it seems so out of touch to women who simply can’t exist in the modern world without constantly have to watch their back and protect themselves from men.
maybe shut the fuck up when its not ur place to speak. Women ARE afraid BECAUSE of men, it it hurts your poor little frail feelings so much cuz its “divisive” then maybe you should start advocating for men to keep their hands to themselves and dick in their pants so statements like that don’t have to be made.
I advocate for that everyday!!! 😃 And the same way I advocate for men to take women’s SA very seriously I advocate for women to take men’s false SA accusations seriously. They are both terrible and very pressing issues. And they will never ever ever be solved by saying things like “Men have to be afraid BECAUSE of girls…” That statement is equally as unproductive and intentionally divisive. If you care about women and SA you should also care about men and SA
And honestly, if you disagree with my saltine cracker ass take… You don’t care about SA as it pertains to men and women. You really just wanna be mad about something 🤷♂️ Men and women need to work together to solve both of these issues. Until we realize that it will never get solved. ✌🏿
every time female sexual assault is talked about men come in and say "what about false accusations ruining a mans life" "what about women who sexually assault men". and yes it does happen BUT not to the extent that it happens to women. this post is obviously about what women go through because of men. and they act like its the worst thing in the world that could ever happen if they got false accusations. rape ruins lives
False accusations are an issue, i never said they weren’t but how you gonna come on to a GIRLS ONLY community as a grown ass man and complain abt false allegations on post trying to raise awareness of how SA is down played and women are instructed to have certain measures to be safe when it should never realistically get to that point? Men like you are exactly the type of men that say that sex you regret isn’t rape. Your take is braindead and misogynist. more over, false allegations are rare.
I’m very sorry this happened to you. And as a black person who’s attracted to women I actually spend a decent amount of time trying to avoid anything that might appear predatory or threatening as it could endanger me or my reputation. But at the end of the day I would always rather believe a liar than protect a rapist.
Okay so that’s just not true. Just look up the stats for yourself it’s 3.8% of men are raped and most studies put false accusations at a 5.9% (numbers are from CDC and the department of justice) I’ll give you there’s terrible studies about male SA accusations but at that point we just need more studies so I’m gonna form my opinion on what we assume to be true.
I believe that stat is based on how many rape charges are not convicted/the victim retracts their desire to prosecute. That does not necessarily mean it was a false accusation. A deeper dive shows men are about .03% likely to be raped in a year, and .0002% likely to be falsely accused in a year.
You shouldn’t be partial to anyone unless evidence comes out. Especially knowing that black men are extremely likely to be falsely accused by a white woman. I wouldn’t risk possibly ruining someone’s life, etc unless I have evidence. I’m a rape victim myself. Once by a guy much older than me, and once by my ex boyfriend which I then promptly left him a few weeks after. It’s understandable that people would want proof. It should always be innocent until proven guilty. Without that mindset-
What exactly does accepting the truth do? Men already know the harm they cause. The most progressive countries also tend to have the men that cause the most sexual violence and you can look this up. The cold truth is that the chemicals that make up a man’s biology AKA mostly testosterone leads to this violence. The punishments for such a thing just have to be more severe and I say this as a man. It is quite literally in men’s nature to act more violently sexually and physically.
No you’re not understanding me. I specifically said I’m not trying to excuse it, don’t tell me I am because that’s just false. I AM SAYING that the only way to stop it is to punish it incredibly harsh. Fucking torture them or castrate them. We don’t need scum like that in the world and instead of employing soft liberal non punishments like these progressive countries do, we need to make these criminals feel REAL PAIN
And I hate these men just as much as any woman would because guess what? Men are also extremely violent towards other men too, I don’t want to live in a world where I may get stabbed or shot by some random dude on a schizophrenic outburst. I hate that we don’t implement harsher punishments for these lawless pieces of shit.
While I think your numbers are low. I appreciate you diving deeper and I think there is a lot of validity to your claim. The numbers I gave are too high and from poor studies. I’ll say, I think your numbers are just as shit as mine. At .03 that would be 4million men raped a year and that’s a lot of total rape cases in 1 year. And I think .0002 is too low that’s only 60000. More believable than 4 million tho
That’s not how those stats work. It’s the chance that a man will be raped or falsely accused annually, not the percent of men raped or falsely accused annually. It’s the difference between saying everyone has a 1% chance of dying every year versus 1% of people die every year. Obviously not accurate numbers but that’s the point being made. It’s more likely a man will be raped than falsely accused.
Again, not how stats work. That’s out of the number of men who are accused of rape in total, including convictions and non convictions. Not the percent of the entire male population. I need everyone citing numbers to know how stats work in the first place before saying whatever sounds the most extreme.
I just read that statistics. It’s 2-10 reports are false. However other studies found that out of 2,059 reported cases there’s was a false report rate of 7% which was 140 total cases. Imagine you, and 2,059 people were in a field. And someone told you that a 140 of you were going to die, would you not be scared? Now compare that to men are falsely accused of rape. They lose their jobs, friends, family, sometimes they even go to jail because lest we not forget that the U.S had an extremely rate
-of innocent people in prison. Is that not awful to you? And black men are disproportionately affected by false accusations because of racism. Do you not remember that point in history were people were being lynched for not only being black, but false rape allegations by white women and other men? Men who have an allegation against them get beat up all the time. And you’re telling me that 10% of the time it’s an innocent man? This also ignore the amount of allegations made where a woman is -
As woman, let’s not act like women are just these innocent angels. I have sexually assaulted by lesbian women SEVERAL times in my life. Look at how many women and men support sex trafficking. It’s literally split 50/50 pretty much. Women perpetuate rape culture just as much as men do. Mothers dating pedos, defending family predators, etc etc. you should watch the movie “precious” we should be scared of each other. This isn’t men vs women. It’s us vs predators.
it’s just like the most common excuse to avoid accountability ever that everyone is tired of hearing it because if a guys first instinct upon hearing about an SA incident is to assume it could be a false accusation that’s probably more telling than anything. and when actual abusers or assaulters take advantage of the fear of a false accusation to get supporters to attack the victim it’s just abhorrent. so naturally there’s skepticism
even if there is evidence there’s always someone who claims it’s fabricated or exaggerated like no matter what is provided there will always be guys out there refusing to believe victims who are almost always women but even men can be victims too which is much more likely than a false accusation. if anything the accuser risks a lot to even come out at all, which is why after one comes out typically it inspires others to come forward as well as there’s strength in numbers and it’s more believable
i literally choose to inject myself with testosterone every week and have been doing it for the past 4 years so i can have the same levels as a cis man and i’ve never once thought about acting violently sexually or physically. it’s not a biological thing, you guys just think it’s ok and youre supported by other men to continue doing so.
you literally were. “pass the controller” or “my steak is too buttery” is an insinuates that nothing serious actually happened. i know thats not what you mean to say, i empathize and understand that, but it really feeds into the whole “you’re a man, you should have enjoyed it” crowd that just downplays rape bc of the victims demographic
i feel lucky enough that i found a group of friends that really supported me and heard me during that time and they actually got her kicked off of a club she was in which would have been vindicating if i didn’t know that if i were the 19 year old doing the same thing i would probably be in jail right now due to my gender.
same girl from the story i talked about above was a coworker of mine at the time and she was the same way, like pushing me into the bathroom mid-shift to do stuff and one of my good friends back then who also worked there responded to me saying practically what you said word for word and a week later i quit with no notice and never saw him again. good riddance.
horrible that happened to all of them. the women who falsely accused those men should absolutely be convicted for defamation. with that being said, 1 in every 5 women has been raped. not assaulted, raped. that’s 780 million women. 99% of these are perpetrated by men. let’s not pick and choose where to put our empathy.
i don’t think bringing up false SA allegations victims is “pick[ing] and choos[ing] where to put our empathy” i think a totalitarian conversation where we can’t talk about both sides of this coin would actually be much worse example of picking and choosing where to show empathy. like #20’s response completely disregarding the point and dismissing the issue by waving it off and saying “*one* example” is a much more dangerous precedent than #2 listing names
