It is sometimes tempting to measure the severity of a false rape claim based solely on the length of time criminal charges are permitted to hang over the head of an innocent man or boy. It can scarcely be denied that, generally, the longer charges are permitted to linger, the more serious the harm. But that doesn't mean that a claim that is quickly disposed of is necessarily only minimally harmful.
The following headline in the news today in a very subtle way trivializes false rape claims where the charges are quickly dropped: "False rape claim haunts WikiLeaks boss – for a few hours" (read the entire story here)
The headline seems to suggest that the harm to the falsely accused man only lasted just a short time. And I suppose we can all have a good laugh now that it's over, right?
Often, that's wrong. A false rape claim can be so terribly traumatic that even if charges only hung over the affected male's head for a few hours, the trauma, not to mention the stain of the falsehood on the man's reputation, lasts forever.
It is also well to remember that once unleashed, a false rape claim is akin to a tornado. It is capable of doing terribly destructive harm with incredible rapidity. Men and boys have been killed and have killed themselves over brand new false rape claims.
And since we see fit to measure a false rape claim's severity based on how long charges are permitted to linger, tell me, why don't we use a similar measure when we're talking about actual rape? You can bet your left testicle we will never see a headline that says the following: "Rape haunts woman -- for just a couple of minutes."

There is no such thing as a minor false rape claim. Such an attack is always a permanent injury to the victim that must be treated with the utmost seriousness.
Assange is lucky in that nobody seems to actually believe the allegation (at least not to my knowledge) and it's been widely denounced. In some respects, it's even played into his hands as it adds weight to the claims by wikileaks that the authorities are trying to smear them. This just wouldn't happen for any ordinary man falsely accused, for whom it would be far more damaging.
Talk about "kiss-ass", it's as though the media has to call NOW and ask permission to print a story like this. The media are so scared of feminists. They can't just print a story, they have to please special interest first.
With Gender feminists perverts encourageing young girls to file false rape accusations by telling them in universities accross the country that "its not illegal to file a false rape claim", and with law enforcement now under the Gender / Raunch jurisdiction, it creates the perfect storm.
Great post! I was looking forward and didn’t expect to see it so soon! Again, great, sound
advice. Looking forward to read more under those new tabs you added!

I believe saying it was a pentagon attack, takes away from the reality that in westren societies false rape accusations have become an epidemic.
Because modern Gender feminism has encouraged false rape accusations in many different ways, and law enforcement protocol is being dictated by gender these same feminist quack-ademics, we will witness the reality where over time a rape accusation will simply not be believed anymore.
Law enforcement can keep "redefining what the meaning of is,is" in order to hide the false rape explosion from the public, but that will only let the wound on our law enforcement, and society just fester even more.
Letting girls say they have been raped, when they have not...Is a perversion of a law enforcement system that is paid to protect the innocent.

You start out making a good point...then destroy all credibility with ill-though nonsense. Why? Why do you insist on doing this?
"Letting girls say they have been raped, when they have not...Is a perversion of a law enforcement system that is paid to protect the innocent."
What, exactly should LE be doing different. They don't have to give their permission for anyone to claim anything. It's not up to LE to decide who can make what claim.
And, protecting the innocent DOES mean finding and prosecuting those who do rape. I don't see how you expect to get around this (inconvientient) reality?
Pull it together, man! You need to think these things through before you post such nonsense!
"Law enforcement can keep "redefining what the meaning of is,is" in order to hide the false rape explosion from the public"
Where in the Hell did you ever get the idea that LE was trying to hide FRA's or their prevalence for the public. 90+% of all FRA you or I know about are because LE has identified them, and made them known to the public. The police do much. much more than just handle rape accusations. All sexual allegations are but a small percentage of the over-all crime workload they must handle. They simply DO NOT have the time nor inclination to ever try to either hide nor manufacture any statistics related to sex-offenses. Again, You need to think these things through!
