I have a news story hot off the newswire, below, that fairly sums up our mission here. It is disgusting, and shocking, and difficult to read. If it doesn't get your blood boiling, you are not human. But I must preface it because without context it is meaningless.
Some self-anointed "enlightened" people think our site is unnecessary, or "crap." Most are content to snipe at us from behind the Lace Curtain (a term coined by Nicholas Davidson, author of The Failure of Feminism (Buffalo, NY: Prometheus, 1988)),where women don't lie about rape and men can't be victims -- of anything -- except, of course, things other men do to them, because "patriarchy hurts men, too." Sigh. (I just attempted to post a pair of comments on one site that denigrated us -- I've advised the moderator that she'd do well to explain her libel of our site, because I am looking for one such site to sue (to make an example of). I am weary of mischaracterizations from the Self-Righteous Misinformed, and I told her that she might just be hearing from me in the form of a lawsuit).
Here's a story, below, where the incalculable harm to the man was caused not by patriarchy (surprise!) but by a false rape accuser. It underscores all the problems for the falsely accused that we routinely discuss here: innocent men are arrested and jailed for lengthy periods of time based on the say so of a lone accuser who, too often, turns out to be a liar; they are denied anonymity with, as here, often brutal effects on their their good names, their physical safety, their very lives, while the identities of their false accusers are guarded with all the tenacity that Clark Kent guards Superman's; and their false accusers are hardly ever charged, much less convicted. Here the false accuser had done it before. She's still not named, and there's no indication she will be charged. The innocent young man in questionn was jailed for a year and subjected to jailhouse atrocities after other prisoners read he was a "rapist" in the newspaper. Her motivation? Likely the compensation the UK gives rape "victims" (but the UK begrudges compensating men like this young man). You see, the UK gives women incentive to lie about rape, as we've previously discussed on this site.
If you think cases like the one below are in some manner "acceptable," kindly explain why. I would love to hear you say that it is unfortunate, but necessary, that some young men like this are cast into a false rape hell so that we might better fight the War on Rape. I'd love to hear you say that young men like this are necessary collateral damage.

"I will never recover": Victim of false rape claim reveals year of hell behind bars with sex beasts
A STEEL worker falsely accused of a knifepoint rape feared for his life in a year of hell behind bars.
Shattered Jason Duncan, 22, spoke of his ordeal last night after a jury rejected his accuser's lies in just an hour.
During his year on remand, Jason was beaten and attacked with razor blades, boiling water and spat on after other prison inmates found out that he was charged with rape.
And last night he said the false accusation of rape - made against him and pal Chris Hoey, 20, by a woman he knew - had destroyed his life.
Chris was freed on bail after 10 days but Jason was denied bail until his trial because his accuser insisted she was in fear of him.
He was moved to Glasgow's Barlinnie jail and was only freed earlier this month when both he and Chris were acquitted at their trial.
Jason, from Airdrie, Lanarkshire, who also looks after his elderly gran, said: "Being falsely accused of rape is every guy's worst nightmare.
"Then to be thrown in jail for a year with real sex beasts almost pushed me over the edge.
"I will never recover from being treated as a monster and being beaten and abused behind bars. It was the worst year of my life and I am lucky to have survived.
"I will never forgive that woman for what she has done to me. Her lies have destroyed me but she doesn't give a damn."
Upset and shaking as he recalled the nightmare ordeal that will haunt him for the rest of his life, Jason added: "Women who make up rape allegations not only ruin the lives of the guys who are wrongly accused, they are doing a huge injustice to genuine victims.
"It is difficult enough for victims to get rapists into court and get convictions without women like her making things up. It is unforgivable.
"I have great respect for women and I am very close to my mum and gran, who mean the world to me.
"They never doubted I was innocent and neither did my work, who supported me through it.
"They believed me and knew that I could never hurt a woman, but mud sticks and others who don't know me still find it hard to believe I am innocent and think there is no smoke without fire.
"I feel very strongly that genuine rape cases must be reported to the police straight away, but those who lie about it are the lowest of the low and a disgrace.
"I had known this woman for years.
"She invited us up for a drink and a bite to eat after a night out and I didn't think anything of it.
"She was fine when I left but then the next day the police turned up at my house and arrested me. I was then charged with rape and locked up.
"I spent all that time in jail because of her lies. She told police that she feared for her life if I got out because I did know her so I was refused bail."
Jason fears the woman made up the allegations to claim thousands of pounds in compensation.
He added: "The only reason I can think of is that she may have done it for the money - criminal compensation - because it can be paid out before the case even gets to court.
"Her lies have destroyed my life. She was throwing rape allegations about like sweetie wrappers and she didn't give a second thought about the consequences."
The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is understood to have made a previous rape allegation against another man but the case did not go to court.
Jason said she invited him and his pal Chris, also from Airdrie, back to her flat after a night out last March.
The following day both men were arrested and charged with raping the woman, who claimed they had broken into her flat and attacked her at knifepoint.
They were banged up in Addiewell prison in West Lothian and suffered abuse and violence at the hands of fellow prisoners after they found out they were on remand for a sex crime.
When Chris was released on bail, Jason was transferred to Barlinnie for his own protection.
Both men were acquitted when a jury took just an hour to return a verdict of not guilty at the High Court in Falkirk earlier this month.
Jason said: "We told the other prisoners that we were in for theft but then they read it in the local paper that we had been accused of rape and our lives turned into hell. We were treated like monsters.
"We constantly received death threats and abuse and they would shout, 'Sex beast' at us. We had to have about 12 prison officers escorting us through the jail at visiting times to protect us because they were trying to attack us and throwing boiling water, razor blades and anything they could find at us.
"We were only allowed out of our cells for 10 minutes a day because our lives were in danger.
"Chris was released on bail after 10 days and I presumed I would get out too but they cuffed me and took me to Barlinnie, then locked me up with all the other sex beasts. I was devastated and thought I had been plunged into a never-ending nightmare.
"I was there for a year and spent every day with some of the worst sex beasts you could imagine. I will never get over it. I even tried to take my own life because it was unbearable.
"I just thank God I had the support of my family and my work or I wouldn't be here today.
"The jury, who were mostly women, saw right through her lies. Nothing she said made any sense and it was obvious she had made it all up.
"When I was first arrested and the police told me what I was alleged to have done I was physically sick. I couldn't believe anyone could be so cruel and sadistic as to have made all that up."
Call centre worker Chris went back to work soon after the court case but is struggling to cope with the
aftermath.
He said: "I have found this whole thing impossible to deal with.
"I still cannot take it in. I have never been accused of anything like this in my life.
"I have a real problem with trusting people now and it has made me scared of women. I am going for counselling.
"I hardly knew this woman who accused me of raping her but she has ruined my life.
"For an innocent man to be branded a rapist is the worst thing that could ever happen to anyone.
"It was a living hell and there are still some folk who think there is no smoke without fire but we did nothing wrong and our innocence was proved."
Jason and Chris are now calling for stricter rules over criminal compensation payouts to alleged rape victims - who receive up to £7000.
The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority confirmed yesterday no conviction is needed before alleged victims get their cash and their eligibility is assessed on degrees of probability.
A CICA spokesperson said: "If we think it is more likely than not that someone was the blameless victim of a violent crime, we may be able to offer compensation, even if no offender was brought to justice.
"Where we have any evidence of fraud or attempted fraud we report it to the police and co-operate fully. If the police themselves tell us about a fraud, we will seek repayment because a fraud against us is a fraud against the taxpayer."

There are some factual errors and omissions.
1/ Criminal Injuries Compensation will pay out 11,000 UK pounds for a single rape, or 22,000 UK pounds for rape by more than one person, or more than one rape by the same person. According to xe.com this is US$16,612.68 and US$33,225.36 respectively.
2/ These guys can now take this lying bitch to the cleaners in Civil Court, and I pray that they do so.
3/ In the UK Prison system there is something known as "Rule 43a" which means for your own protection.
Barlinnie is a bad prison, Jimmy Boyle was there, at the best of times, but being on Rule 43 is in effect finding yourself sent to hell, and then sent to to the worst part of hell with all the other inmates hating you.
Rule 43 look like vampires, I fucking kid you not, and it is every "general population" prisoner's duty to get them at any / every opportunity, if you have an opportunity and do not take it, you are yourself in deep shit.
If you are on short time (less than 6 months to go) it is acceptable to throw a shit bomb, human feces wrapped in a sheet of newspaper, at the fortythree.
Although the odd "grass" is sent to the "forty-threes", by and large they are all sex offenders, and this includes those who violently rape and abuse small children, and trust me, everyone in prison has relatives or kids of their own.
In reality, I can tell you, first hand, of inmates who have "got" a forty three, either with a weapon up close, or by tipping scalding water over them from above, and the only punishment given for this assault is some loss of remission, usually 30 to 60 days, and without exception, the screws then give specially good treatment to said inmate.
To be falsely accused, then imprisoned, and then put in with the fortythrees, is beyond imagining, I strongly suspect that those held in some of the more infamous WW2 POW camps are the only ones who can adequately relate to this horrific experience.
I have only one thing to say to these falsely accused fellow countrymen, mi casa, su casa.

some dope on UK prisons from the inside.
To our readers: we have an important essay from AfOR that's going to be posted later on today.
And thanks for this info, sir. You really need to write for us when your case is finally resolved.
Try and keep me quiet.... lol
You've got to love these stupid inmates, who just assumed that the accusations were true. If a snitch (according to their values) is bad, then how bad is an inmate who automatically believes anything the system tells him? If anything that's worse than being a snitch.
Yep
And you NEVER hear of other women cutting false accusers with razor blades or beating them or for that matter even harassing them in any way.
I live in scotland , at the end of the year my ex of 18 months decided to leave me after i moved towans to get close to her i have been told by some of her now ( ex ) friends that she "implied" i raped her. Worried about that esp by what i see here and elsewhere i consulted a friend in glasgow who is a lawyer who in a panic launched a pre emptive on this, some of the stories he told me about what happens to guys in bar-l scared the bejesus out of me , i feel so much for what these guys went through and again its proven that as it stands men are at risk , we are at risk by anyone with a grudge and this needs to change.
Good grief, now people have a financial reason to make accusations. When will this madness stop?
Personally, I think paying out compensation to 'victims' before it is proven in court that they are actually a 'victim' is daft and opens the system to abuse. I don't know if other governments outside the UK do this or not, but if they do I wish they would stop.
My false rape accuser was also a "serial false rape accuser", as i was the second guy she falsely accused that year.
She almost got me beat to death, and the law enforcement still NEVER PRESSED ANY CHARGES AT ALL, AND ALSO REFUSED TO TAKE ANY ACTIONS AT ALL that would act as a deterrent from her doing it whenever she felt the whim.
She even got a good chunk of money ( that she probably blew on drugs) from the womens rape crisis center that she never had to pay back!! because these centers "ALWAYS BELIEVE THE WOMEN" even if they are lying.
India does it, too (of course).
I've written about this many times -- starting here:
UK women have a monetary incentive to lie about rape
Pierce, see the ymail account
Something I don't really get about feminists ignoring this issue is... I mean, are they self-sustaining? Do they no longer need men to help them with their cause?
Because as a man, when I see these things reported on, then I see people like Archivist get attacked for being 'misogynist,' all I can think is, "What, not wanting to go to jail for shit you didn't do is misogynist now?"
I mean, knowing that feminists don't necessarily have your back when the bullshit starts flying turns the whole situation into a us-vs-them sort of thing, and makes me less inclined to actually help.
I didn't realize that they already had such a large force of feminists that they don't need / want the help of men, and even go so far as to actively attack us.
I mean, if you can read that article and not be really upset, there's something wrong with you, you know?
As much as everything said about the feminists is true, after reading this story, Afor's description how "forty threes" are treated, and what we know happens to those labeled rapists in American prisons, it is obvious that the hatred and presumption of guilt of those accused of rape goes way beyond feminism.
There is something you need to know about "cons" (convicts)
The three commonest lies told in prison are...
1/ I'm innocent.
2/ I'll pay you back (borrow smokes)
3/ I'll do "x" for you when I get out (prison promises)
Even those who are innocent, are usually guilty of something else.
If you want to find people who will believe in your innocence, or, strangely, who will hand you a light sentence if you are found guilty, do NOT go to cons or ex-cons.
In the U.S. the government might not give false accuser money but other "victims" groups do.
So here false accusers do have a money incentive to lie also.
Look at the Kobe Bryant case I think his accuser got something like $17,000 from a victims group for filing a claim.
It was published when she gave it back after winning a civil suit against Kobe.
So IMO she probably gave back $17,000 after extorting 3 million from Kobe.
Anon @ 6:53,
"I mean, knowing that feminists don't necessarily have your back when the bullshit starts flying turns the whole situation into a us-vs-them sort of thing, and makes me less inclined to actually help."
It's worse than that. See the quotations here: http://falserapesociety.blogspot.com/2010/03/little-white-rape-lies.html
"Because as a man, when I see these things reported on, then I see people like Archivist get attacked for being 'misogynist,' all I can think is, 'What, not wanting to go to jail for shit you didn't do is misogynist now?'"
It's funny, I actually posted a comment at abyss2hope about "consent" -- a subject I profess expertise about, and the blogger said that I had toned down my usual anti-feminist rhetoric. I mean, these people must think I'm a monster -- but good luck arguing with me about consent.

Thanks for that link Archivist, I've only just joined this community, so I wasn't aware of this.
Speaking as an child abuse victim, I can honestly say that no amount of compensation, financial or otherwise would help me deal with the pain of those years.
I fail to see how financial compensation from a government is going to help a rape victim. It's not going to take away the pain or agony of the rape and paying out money solely based on an accusation is nuts. If a government truely wanted to help a 'victim' of violent crime, they'd make professional treatment programs availble to them so they could move on with their lives.

I read those comments along with the bloggers follow up posts. Judging from what she said in her comments, not only does she think you are a monster, but she also thinks that members of this community want to, and I qoute "attack" her.
Do people like this lady not read the parts of this site which states quite clearly that rape is not condoned? What part of we do not condone rape and are against those who make false rape accusations don't they get?
In this state and most others, the government does give the woman cash. It's called "victim's compensation". My husbands accuser may get upwards of $50k because she claims 2 states are involved.
That's a lot of drugs. Maybe she'll OD and we will have one less false accuser on this earth.

"she also thinks that members of this community want to, and I qoute "attack" her."
If the frequent reports of women fabricating rape stories out of thin air tells us anything, it's that a certain type of woman loves to fantasise about being attacked.
I suggest this femmorhoid falls into that category.
The "Rape Awareness Center" back in my in college days explicitly told me that a woman would never, ever, ever, lie about rape. Ever.
I think their statistics were and still are skewed. They lied to the general student body.

The only thing that anyone here would ever attack, is her ideas. Like most people, she is incapable of separating the attack of ideology, from a personal attack. It is a way to shut down any type of debate, or challenge of their beliefs, usually because they know they are wrong, and would look foolish.
Personally, I would rather swim with a tank full of sharks after suffering a thousand paper cuts, than have to argue this area with Pierce. :)
Wimmin Dearest:
Your privileged princess syndrome days are dead.
Time to face the horrorshow that you have created.
It's payback time. Now go fix my roof and tune the car, or no sex for you lady.
Thank you for all the support. I think what people need to realise that people ill enough make false rape allegations do exist and it does happen.
i personaly know how nasty it feels to be falsly accused, it is sickening what this does, sadly one cannot stop people thinking what they want to think. sex offenders in prison are called nonce, ect. im glad he didnt kill himself, because it wouldnt of matterd to the accuser. thats why she has no empathy with the wrong she did. she is obviously dangerous and insecure in her odd character. the problem with this type of liar she could end up dead if she crosses the wrong bloke. not all men react the same, and she will provoke the wrong attention if shes not stopped. the question is whos next?
