Excerpt from Save the Males: Why Men Matter, Why Women Should Care:
"In 1999, a bizarre case at the University of Massachussetts at Amherst brought home how rape hysteria and irrational feminism combine to breed a dangerous anti-male mind-set in our culture. In November, three women said they were assaulted on campus, two claiming to have been raped. Five hundred students convened on November 16 to protest what was being bill as a culture of violence against women. Right in the middle of this passionate show of solidarity, yet another victim materialized ex machina. A thirty-year-old woman, her face streaked with blood, ran up to police and said she had been assaulted at knifepoint. Slow-mo to December 3, and thewoman's lawyer issued a statement saying she had made up the attack and had inflicted her own wounds.
"What was most intereting about the Amherst case was the reaction of feminist organizations when the knifepoint rape was confirmed false. They said even false rape charges are helpful in advancing a dialogue about violence against women. Just because it didn't happen doesn't mean it couldn't happen."

Geez, I sure am gland I "matter".
Does that mean that even real rapes are good for starting conversations about false rape accusations? Has she tried changing the batteries in the other half of her head?
the above should say "I sure and GLAD I matter"
"Does that mean that even real rapes are good for starting conversations about false rape accusations?"
Makes perfect sense to me. Funny how everytime a false rape claim occurs, some cackling gender feminist uses it as the occassion to talk about an entirely different crime, rape.
TBH there is an issue here.
"false rape claim" vs "rape"
does not equate to
"full" vs "empty"
"alive" vs "dead"
"night" vs "day"
"false arpe claim" doesn't sound so bad, while "rape" triggers a mental picture of violence, "false rape claim" does not.
Speaking as someone who was arrested and interrogated two weeks ago, let me tell you, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually it was extremely fucking violent, and it ain't like a car crash, you get paranoid too, so it is ongoing violence.
We need a new tag, not "false rape claim"
In the UK the charge for making a flase rape claim, if you get prosecuted, is "attempting to pervert the course of justice"
So how about "false rape pervert"?
"So how about "false rape pervert"?"
A more accurate title would be "false rape rapist"
Yes, but it is confusing.
I'm serious about this BTW, "false rape claim" just doesn't cut it.
Rape is just shy of murder in UK courts and sentencing.
We need something that is therefore just shy of "attempted murder" to replace "false rape claim."
VVV serious about this.
"We need something that is therefore just shy of "attempted murder" to replace "false rape claim.""
Slightly misleading, but...
If they were termed Serious Sexual Injuries" it would certainly grab people's attention.
Well, the injuries done ARE sexually related, anyway. Hey, the feminist "nutters" talk about "visual rape". It would be seriously difficult to be any more asinine than that.
Unfortunately, the phraseology that accurately describes the harms done just aren't attention grabbing.
False Rape Allegation, Premeditated Character Assassination, Willful Malicious Libel, Shock Maximizing Lie… on point, but just not catchy…
actually, 'willful malicious libel' or even 'attempted character asassination' might not be too bad an idea. There's probably already some kind of law against these. Why not put false rape claims in such a category?
