    I really wish people that cared about these kinds of things would do the bare minimum research to find out where these numbers come from.

    It’s not 3.2% of sexual assault cases. It’s 3.2% of claims from a survey. The majority of them never even go to the police with it. It’s 3.2% of claims from a survey lead to a conviction.

    There is no priority to protect innocent men. There’s a priority to believe women and chastise the men. Just look at this very sub, every single person is frothing at the mouth to attack any man with an accusation against him, no matter how little evidence there is. No one is ever allowed the say the obvious that footballers would be an easy target for false claims. Yet we’re allowed to sit here and talk mad shit about the person they make claims about. “Victim blaming” is a term ONLY used against the accuser, when in reality if it’s a false claim, the victim is the accused, yet we never see anyone, including mods on this subreddit shut down harmful discussion when the guy is being torn to shreds from claims alone.

    You can say about how hard it is to prove all you want but that’s a good thing. A person shouldn’t be able to send you to jail and destroy your life with 0 evidence. Even though we see that plenty of men have gone to jail on false claims already.

      Disagree, plenty of people here immediately discard any accusations. Only when there are recordings and other proofs people will defend the women
