Feminists don't see any problem with false rape accusations right?

This question is frequently asked by people who want to inflate rape statistics. Here are some of the answers: 1. Revenge and rage.

A woman feels "used" by a man after having had sex with him, or a boyfriend dumps her. Sometimes this is the result of game playing activity that gets out of control. 2.

Alibi. She comes from a puritanical background and other people found out she had sex so she claimed "rape" to disclaim responsibility. Or she can claim she was innocent when engaging in adultery.

Or she may have gotten pregnant and wants to justify an abortion in an anti-choice community. The recent (and alleged as of May 2005) "Runaway Bride" case is an example of a woman falsely reporting a crime (in this case, kidnapping) as a cover for other activities. 3.

Money. Charging celebrities with rape or other crimes can lead to out of court settlements in which the accuser receives considerable sums of money. 4.

Attention-seeking and self-delusion. This is common in people with Borderline Personality Disorder and closely related to hypochondriasis and/or Munchausen's syndrome. 5.

Divorce or child custody fight. Accusing a husband (or other partner) of rape or domestic violence serves as additional ammunition in dissolving a marriage or gaining custody of children. 6.

Pseudo-science. "Recovered Memory Therapy" and other fads encourage mass hysteria in which false accusations are routine. 7.

Racism. During the segregation era, white women would frequently victimize black men by claiming they were the subjects of their sexual advances. The Scottsboro Boys is one famous case in which women, in conjunction with racists, used false charges of rape to attempt to legally lynch nine men.

8. Force competition among men. By claiming to be victims, women get men to compete and fight among each other.

Patriarchical men, who gain their power by victimizing other men, use the excuse of "protecting women from rape" to attack other men. In other words, women who claim to be victims and rely upon the power structure to "protect" them are falling for the oldest sexist game in the book. The Emmett Till case is a notorious example of this sort of behavior.

9. Corrupt criminal justice system. Prosecutors frequently make reputations for being "tough on crime" by persecuting men and women on trumped up charges of rape and sexual assault.

See the William Hetherington case. 10. Mass hysteria. The combination of sexual repression, paranoia, mob psychology and media sensationalism frequently leads to mass delusions in which the innocent are accused of the most outlandish sexual offenses.

The McMartin Preschool case is a typical, disgusting example of how innocent people are falsely accused of sex crimes. There's a long history of this sort of thing, from the Salem witch hunts through the lynching of African-Americans. Today's mass hysteria over sex crimes may be just the latest manifestation.

11. "Raising consciousness". Feminists sometimes make up stories about rape in order to "alert" others about the threat of sexual assault.

A recent case in which a feminist was charged with making a false report of rape.

There's a situation in oz at the moment with taxi drivers preying on drunk women getting into taxis late at night from bars and clubs. They get touched up and raped. Some women are too intoxicated to remember the details and the taxi drivers are turning off video evidence inside the taxi.

The point it that these women are generally unable to report rapes because of their level of intoxication and not sure of the details. Only 25 drivers have been charged over 3 years. The rest get off because the women can't or don't report it.

How many other situations in life are there where women have never reported sexual crimes? Due to shame, intoxication, fear, his word against hers, lack of evidence, sexist judges, etc. Why would women put themselves through a harsh unforgiving legal system with a false rape report? That's assuming the case ever gets to court because rapists seem to sweet-talk their way out of legal proceedings.

Rapists are in fact the liars and cheats.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
