Easily Half Of Rape Allegations Are FALSE!
Some staggering truths on false rape...
So, why do they cry wolf with the "rape defense?"
Video of skanks lying to get out of traffic violations!
All the girls I know who have never been raped in adulthood have this in common. They know they are at a natural strength disadvantage and so take extra precautions to protect themselves. They associate with men of high character, don't get intoxicated and avoid shady social situations.
Whereas, all the ones who have been "raped" had gotten wildly intoxicated (on booze and/or drugs) while hanging out with men of low character (like themselves)...
Well, you lie with dogs, you WILL get fleas. You cannot help reap but what you sow. So, don't come crying when you have to lie in your own bed you made for yourself...
Myth: 2% of all rape reports are false.
Fact: Katz and Mazur, it turns out, had reviewed studies dating back to 1956 that showed the frequency of unfounded and false rape reports ranging from a low of 1 percent to a high of 25 percent. Allison and Wrightsman simply chose the study that showed 2 percent.
Several years ago, I tried to track down the origin of this much-cited stat. The first instance I found of the figure was in Susan Brownmiller's book on sexual assault entitled "Against Our Will" (1975). Brownmiller claimed that false accusations in New York City had dropped to 2 percent after police departments began using policewomen to interview alleged victims.
Elsewhere, the two percent figure appears without citation or with only a vague attribution to "FBI" sources. Although the figure shows up in legislation such as the Violence Against Women Act, legal scholar Michelle Anderson of Villanova University Law School reported in 2004, "no study has ever been published which sets forth an evidentiary basis for the two percent false rape complaint thesis."
In short, there is no reason to credit that figure.
A U.S. Air Force study reliably discovered and reported that 60 percent of rape accusations turned out to be false. Not unfounded, but false!
A follow-up civilian study, taken because of concern that the Air Force study might be applicable only to military populations, examined the police files from a major midwestern and a southwestern city. The same 60 percent rate of false accusations of rape was found in the civilian study.
the rate of false reports is roughly between 20 (if DNA excludes an accused) to 40 percent (if inconclusive DNA is added)
the number of cases that finally get to the laboratory for testing, the number of exonerations far outnumbers the number of inclusions. - Professor Barry Scheck
Myth: 8% of rape reports are false according to the FBI.
Fact: In the FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit’s study of False Allegations conducted in 1983 of 556 rape investigations, a total of 220 (40%) of these reported rapes turned out to be false. Over one fourth of these 556 turned out to be hoaxes.
Myth: One in four women in college has been the victim of rape or attempted rape.
Fact: This mother of all factoids is based on a fallacious feminist study commissioned by Ms. magazine. The researcher, Mary Koss, hand-picked by hard-line feminist Gloria Steinem, acknowledges that 73% of the young women she counted as rape victims were not aware they had been raped. 43% percent of them were dating their "attacker" again.
A Washington Post investigation in Virginia and Maryland found that nearly one in four rape reports in 1990-91 was unfounded. When contacted by the newspaper, many "victims" admitted they lied. More shocking figures come from a study by now-retired Purdue University sociologist Eugene Kanin published in Archives of Sexual Behavior in 1994. After reviewing the police records of an Indiana town, Kanin found that of 109 reports of rape filed in 1978-87, 45 - or 41% - turned out to be false, as the women themselves admitted after the investigation."
1/3 of men accused, tried, convicted, and imprisoned for rape mismatch the DNA.Now, keep in mind that these are only the amounts PROVEN false by admission or DNA testing. The actual number may be much higher since most claims are not put under any real scrutiny. It is thus not unlikely that easily half or more of "rape" allegations are in reality, FALSE. And with "rape shield" laws passed in 46 states by 1980, this has become ridiculously easy with no penalty.
So, why do they cry wolf with the "rape defense?"
these false charges were able to serve three major functions for the complainants: providing an alibi, a means of gaining revenge, and a platform for seeking attention/sympathy. This tripartite model resulted from the complainants' own verbalizations during recantation and does not constitute conjecture.In another study, the top 3 reasons were spite/revenge, guilt/shame and possible pregnancy.
the only reason she lied she got raped was because she didnt want her mom knowing the guy cummed inside her
Detectives say both Ebbert and Studybaker made up the stories so they wouldn’t get in trouble with their boyfriends.
the allegation "solved" an unexpected pregnancy or "explained" a venereal disease or a hickey or provided an excuse to be gone unexpectedly for a weekend.Binge-drinking women falsely claim they were slipped date-rape drugs as an excuse!

Men who are unjustly accused of rape can sometimes gain from the experience. - Catherine Comins, Vassar College Assistant Dean of Students, 1991Look, it's pretty simple, ladies. If you don't want to have regrettable sex or "get raped," quit getting trashed around trashy guys. Just like if you don't want to wreck your car, DON'T DRIVE DRUNK. "Rape" doesn't just happen in a vacuum. It takes 2 to tango and those situations can all be easily avoided if you just act like a lady.

Bev. I like your style.
You are a fucking bastard. You don't have to be drunk or dealing with strange, shady people to be raped. You want to know the truth? You want to know MY story?
I was seventeen years old, at my BOYFRIEND'S house, HE wanted to have sex, and I didn't. We were already sexually active. In fact, we had already had sex THAT DAY. But when he went inside of me after I had already said no, that was rape. Okay, arsehole? Do you have ANY idea the culture you are helping to perpetuate by claming that 'easily half of rape allegations are false'? One in which women will NEVER have the power to right the wrongs committed against them. Yes, I am sure there are SOME women out there who will falsely "cry rape". But there are just as many UNREPORTED rapes, such as MINE, because girls like me, believe that due to the circumstances in which the rape occured their side of the story will NEVER be believed. I continued dating that sick miscreant for another five months. I didn't report him at first because I thought I 'loved' him and then when I saw the light it was too late for there to be any evidence, ANOTHER REASON no one would believe me. What are you trying to cover for, Byrd? Are you just as much of a worthless piece of shit as my ex-boyfriend, another perpetrator of this vile crime against women and all of humanity, or are you just their spokesperson? You disgust me.

(like themselves)
Do you have ANY idea the culture you are helping to perpetuate by claming that 'easily half of rape allegations are false'?
Yup, it's called the culture of TRUTH, instead of LIES.
Looks like I called out your situation already. When you CHOOSe to lie with dogs, don't whine when you get fleas. Especially if you keep lying with them for FIVE MONTHS after you already got fleas! Wow, talk about another stupid f'n woman. Somebody call the waahhhhbulance!!!
The only person DUMBER than a "rapist," is the person who voluntarily stays with them for FIVE MORE MONTHS...and then WHINES ABOUT IT! No MAN would ever do such a thing. Cuz men have this thing called "reason" and "self-respect." 2 things you obviously LACK IN SPADES.
Maybe when you start making wiser choices in life and stop denying accountability, you will stop getting "raped." Now shut up and sit down. CLASS DISMISSED.
No matter what excuses you want to make for what happened, thereby preserving the veracity of your own demented worldview, the fact remains that you have no idea what my life was like at that time. You obviously know nothing about psychology, or else it may have dawned on you to feel a bit of sympathy and compassion for me rather than reviling me for a bad choice I made and then willingly repressed. Had you been me, and had your familial situation been what mine was at the time, you would have possibly done the same thing.
And stop using those fucking quotation marks when you're referencing an event which actually happened.
Don't blame my lack of reason and self-respect at the time on my gender. Blame it on my circumstances.
And furthermore, I have NO accountability for what happened. NO WOMAN is at fault for getting raped.
This case will NEVER be closed until these crimes cease.
"the fact remains that you have no idea what my life was like at that time."
Actually, I think he has a very good idea of what your life was like -- as demonstrated by your own conduct. YOU chose the guy. YOU chose not to report him to the police. And worst of all, YOU chose to stay with him for another five months.
"You obviously know nothing about psychology, or else it may have dawned on you to feel a bit of sympathy and compassion for me rather than reviling me for a bad choice I made and then willingly repressed."
He should have sympathy for someone who made conscious decisions involving her own behavior? Your own words betray your argument -- "a bad choice I made and willingly repressed". Any sympathy would be misplaced, as it would be directed at someone who is clearly undeserving of it. Sympathy is for people who suffer from circumstances completely outside their control.
"And stop using those fucking quotation marks when you're referencing an event which actually happened."
A rape occurred only because YOU say it did. How does he or any of us reading your comment know? There is no physical evidence of a "rape" and YOU chose to report the "rape" to the police. "Rape" is often a matter of perspective. Have you ever said to a boyfriend that you didn't want to have sex, and then when you felt him enter you cried out "OH YES!" I'll bet money you have.
"Don't blame my lack of reason and self-respect at the time on my gender. Blame it on my circumstances."
Why not? Your actions are an example of very common behavior exhibited by women. He never said ALL women act like you. As for the "blame", it lies squarely on your shoulders.
"And furthermore, I have NO accountability for what happened. NO WOMAN is at fault for getting raped.
This case will NEVER be closed until these crimes cease."
You don't have any accountability? Your actions belie your claim. If they didn't, you wouldn't be as defensive as you are. You know you made a mistake (or rather, a series of them), and have even admitted them. Now you simply need to come to terms with yourself over your own behavior, and change it so that you will never be in a situation where a "rape" can ever occur.
I have NO accountability for what happened. NO WOMAN is at fault for getting raped.
yop
victim syndrome ,here we go again
"my choice","my decisions"="your fault".
TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY GIRL AND WAKE UP.
Byrd, I really have to remind you that guys absolutely cannot understand what it is like for a girl to get raped. It is impossible. It has never happened to you. You have no idea. It has never happened to me either, which I am eternally thankful for. Men who rape women have no excuse. Please stop making them.
Although I agree that falsely accusing men of being rapists is wrong, just like any other false accusation.
I have NO accountability
Why don't you just leave it at that. You could have saved yourself a lot of typing. Better yet wear that slogan on a t-shirt or as a tramp stamp.
guys absolutely cannot understand what it is like for a girl to get raped.
Talk to guys sent to prison based on the false rape allegations of women. Are you aware of what happens to men in the general population of prisons?
But what it really boils down to is men often find women to be creatures that tell upwards of 500 bald faced lies per day. Then women will claim this or that happened to them and people are supposed to believe them? Women, as a rule, are such pathological liars 24/7 they shouldn't even be allowed to be sworn in under oath in a court room (waste of time).
"You obviously know nothing about psychology..."
I didn't realise 'psychology' was all about legitimation of one's own moronic behaviour whenever one is called to account for something that's logically inexcusable.
Never ascribe to madness what can safely be put down to stupidity, to paraphrase someone or other.
Actually, 'Anonymous Bastard Number One', you bet wrong. Maybe you and 'Anonymous Bastard Number Two' think otherwise, but when I say something, I mean it. If I say no, I don't want sex, then I don't want sex. Period. The sorts of attitudes you promote while being too cowardly to even give a name are some of the most misogynistic caveman-throwbacks I have ever heard. You're so wrapped up into your egotistical little mindsets that you've somehow convinced yourself that women always want it, no matter what we say, and that a couple thrusts of your dick will change our minds even if we don't. Get a clue, arseholes.
Now who on earth said that?
You're the one who consorted with this twat, you're the one who chose to 'bear it' for five months after the act for God knows what reason. So you're a vacillating gimp and a shite judge of character. Don't take it out on us.
I post anonymously because I don't have a blog, and if that makes me a coward by you, so be.
Except of course that you can give any sort of name you want if you say you're an 'other'-- you don't NEED a web page. I could just as well say my name is Lady Rebecca, Queen of Ravenna, if I so chose.
But I disgress.
Yeah, it was a messed up idea for me to stay with him. But I had myself deluded enough to think he was perfect. And even though the evidence to the contrary had been piling up for months by then and continued to over the next five, it was damn near impossible for me to see the light. Besides, as the majority of commenters on this blog clearly illustrate, who would believe me anyway?
Things are different now, I'm not such a fucking ostrich, but I'll be damned if another girl goes through the shit I went through for the reasons I did.
That's why I'm not going to just shut up and listen to you guys. I will concede that sending people to prison for ANY crime they didn't commit is wrong, and that prison rape is wrong as well. But I'll bet you a million dollars that for every innocent convicted rapist there are at least two unreported ACTUAL rapists living free lives, ready to strike again when the next horny fall day comes.
I find UneFemmePlusCourageuse's rantings amusing only because they highlight so well the utter inability of women to argue rationally and with facts, as opposed to trotting out unquantifiable feelings and presenting them as valid, factual items worth of consideration.
How about the guy who picked me up after my friends went to a bar down the street from the one I was in, forgetting about me? How about how he took me to his car by holding me up with both his arms, because I could barely walk? How about how he left marks on me and literally physically forced me to do things?
I am accountable for getting that drunk.
I am not accountable for the fact that my friends left me alone in a bar, not telling me where they'd gone, not realizing that they'd left me. That was out of my control.
I am not accountable for being carried to a car by a person who wasn't drunk. I couldn't even walk by myself.
I am not accountable for being physically forced to do things by someone who, it turns out, was an ex-Marine.
Why would a man pick up a girl who was obviously intoxicated and, instead of being a decent human being and helping her get home, choose to take her to his house and hurt her?
Where is his accountability?
Or do you not care about that part of it, simply because I was drunk and in a bar?
Easy answer
The girl was very attracted to him. That's why she stayed.
It was a wrong decision, cause he was of low character. Still she has to take responsibility for her choices and I bet she learned from it.
But girl, you have to understand that not all men are like this. The problem is that most guys you are attracted to are (you're attracted to them because they are pretty sexually aggressive (think about what that term means before you draw your conclusions) but they don't have their desires under control, that's why your boyfriend 'raped' you when you said no.
Also, a lot of times a woman can change her mind. If I walk up to my girlfriend and say:"hey you want to have sex?" She'll probably say: no. But if I then start teasing her and build anticipation untill she gets very aroused then you better believe it that she wants to have sex, even though 30 minutes ago she said she didn't.
It's time for us people to get wise and learn about men/female dynamics before we start condemning the opposite sex. There is a lot to learn and the best way to start is to look at ourselves (since that's the person you have to deal with most of the time ;))
Respect is the big word. If someone uses disrespect, you throw 'em out (of your life).
If someone uses respect, you treat them with respect.
REAL rape is wrong, it exists and it's awful. But I agree with the writer of this original post. I believe there are A LOT of women using 'rape' as an escuse and that is just as wrong as the men who really rape people.
Clearly some of you don't consider rape a big deal. Basically, "Oh it's just sex. She said no, but I bet she really wanted it anyway."
Fuck that.
No woman is responsible for the violent act of rape committed by a man. It doesn't matter if a girl was drunk, if she was dressed provacatively, whatever... are you all just saying that men can't control themselves, so if there happens to be a hot drunk chick around, they sipmly MUST rape her?
Maybe rapists should start taking responsibility for their actions instead of blaming it on the drunk girl, or the provacatively dressed girl. The rapist is the one with the power. They are the one who ACTUALLY COMMITS the crime. They made the decision to force themselves upon a victim.
Unefemme is claiming she is not responsible for her rape. If she said no to sex, and he forced himself upon her, how in the hell does that make her the accountable one, not him?
Staying with him afterwards is a different matter. I will not comment further than to say that relationships can mess with your head and make your decision making clouded. I know men that have stayed with women that treated them abominably. For years. This isn't about gender. But regardless of what happened after her rape, at the time she said no, he forced himself, this is rape. Something he should not have done.
You say she should take responsibility for "lying with dogs", I have a couple of things to say to that. Firstly, a person can change suddenly, quickly in the heat of a moment, you cannot tell who is a potential rapist. Men I know who have changed in the heat of a moment seem so gentlemanly, so trustworthy, everyone likes them, they are even known as "the nice guy", you cannot tell who is going to rape you. Secondly (and bearing the last point in mind), you are advocating a world of constant extreme caution, fear, abstinence and distrust, rather than tackling the issue that rape occurs, by laying responsibility for stopping rape on women protecting themselves rather than GETTING PEOPLE NOT TO RAPE. Not once, except by referring to the rapist as a "dog" have you admitted his accountability for COMMITTING RAPE, whereas you have said the blame "lies squarely on her shoulders". For being raped? For saying no and then being forced into sex? I just don't see the logic there.
You say that she is having "victim syndrome", where "my decisions=your fault". She did not make the decision to get raped. That's why it's not her fault.
I also find it funny that you say women cannot use logic to lay down an argument, when the last piece of this post was nothing more than a long string of turns of phrases, not an argument. Seriously, read it again, it's funny.
And furthermore, I have NO accountability for what happened. NO WOMAN is at fault for getting raped.
No woman is "accountable" or "at fault" for the simple action of rape itself. Agreed.
However, a woman very often IS accountable for actions and decisions leading to a situation where rape becomes a possibility.
People who choose to be at certain places at certain times are exercising a degree of agency in so choosing. Nobody else makes that choice - they do.
If she had acted and decided differently, the train of circumstance would not have carried her to that particular location.
Her eventual attacker is not accountable for those actions and decisions. Just try to tell me that he IS; he was not even around when they occurred.
People ARE the architects of their outcomes in many ways. That is a cold hard fact which can be disputed but not refuted.
Mind, I am not referring to ALL rape cases here - only to a quite significant number of them.
If feminists want to male-bash to the max on the rape front, they will need to demonstrate some clear percentages regarding women who funneled themselves into rape situations by their own poor judgement, versus women who had no idea that trouble was coming "out of the blue".
Simply stated: Not all rape cases have equal male-bashing value.
I dont understand why unefemme keeps trying to... support her side of the rape argument.
Its pretty clear that there are such a range of differant situations that you can't possibly all come to a utopian solution.
everyone is entitled to their own opinion, as long as they don't try to force them onto other people.
random anonamous...
I have to agree with much, but not all, of what BEV has to say. False accusations of rape are common, more common than we'd like to believe, and this must be recognized. However, I must dissent with the attitudes of some posters above.
Rape is a crime, and women should take responsibility for their own actions leading up to the rape, but this does not excuse the action. It's perfectly possible to be assaulted while you're drunk (getting into a brawl or something) but this does not excuse the assault. The victim has every right to file charges and see that justice is done. That being said, everyone knows that we, as individuals, have to take independent steps to ensure our own safety. Feminists typically set rape scenarios in an if-or dichotomy. Euny sets this up perfectly in his (her?) post:
"...rather than tackling the issue that rape occurs, by laying responsibility for stopping rape on women protecting themselves rather than GETTING PEOPLE NOT TO RAPE."
Rape is wrong and illegal, but this does not mean we should expect alleviation of our personal responsibility for our safety. Theft is wrong and illegal, but we still lock our doors and watch our backs in shady neighborhoods. The world is not a safe place and it never will be. We can set up systems of law but they only go so far. Blame rightly belongs on the heads of rapists; but this does not mean we can live in a fantasy world of shoulds and oughts. Expecting women to behave like adults, to be responsible for their own safety, is not demeaning or misogynistic. It's expecting them to behave reasonably and realistically. It's the most respectful thing anyone can do.
Now you simply need to come to terms with yourself over your own behavior, and change it so that you will never be in a situation where a "rape" can ever occur.
For a woman to never be in a situation where rape can occur, she would have to never be around men. If men want women to continue to be around them, then men have to choose to stop raping women. Women can't choose to stop being raped.
If I walk up to my girlfriend and say:"hey you want to have sex?" She'll probably say: no. But if I then start teasing her and build anticipation untill she gets very aroused then you better believe it that she wants to have sex, even though 30 minutes ago she said she didn't.
If a woman says no, she means no. If a woman changes her mind after 30 minutes of pestering, then she's changed her mind because she's afraid you'll never stop asking. If a woman says no and you don't stop, you are a rapist. No means no. Haven't people gotten the message yet?
For a woman to never be in a situation where rape can occur, she would have to never be around men. If men want women to continue to be around them, then men have to choose to stop raping women. Women can't choose to stop being raped.
The same old feminist lie - 'All men are rapists' - which has led to mistrust between men and women.
If a woman says no, she means no. If a woman changes her mind after 30 minutes of pestering, then she's changed her mind because she's afraid you'll never stop asking. If a woman says no and you don't stop, you are a rapist. No means no. Haven't people gotten the message yet?
Read it. Understand it. Follow it.
The same old feminist lie - 'All men are rapists' - which has led to mistrust between men and women.
Not all men are rapists - that's a given. But how does a woman tell if a particular man is a rapist or not? Seriously, how? We're not mind readers, but when we trust men and get raped we're blamed for it and if we don't trust men we're lying feminists who hate men. If a woman is drunk and raped she's blamed because she's drunk. If a woman is raped by her boyfriend she's blamed because she's dating him. If a woman is raped walking down the street she's blamed for being in that neighborhood. If you put all the responsibility of preventing rape on women, then we'd left with avoiding men completely because that's the only way we can be sure not to be raped.
A sane, rational attitude would be to blame rapists for raping instead of blaming their victims. No more blaming women for drinking or dating or wearing short skirts, or whatever. Drinking, dating, and wearing short skirts are not crimes and do not hurt people! Rape is a crime and it hurts people very, very much. But, when a woman in this very thread got the courage to say she's been raped, the response wasn't to vilify him for doing that to his own girlfriend but instead to blame her for dating him. How horrible is that?
Read it. Understand it. Follow it.
That "rebuttal" is disturbing and misses the point in so many ways. I'm not going to respond to each and every point, but I'll say this: When the checklist says "If you do this, then you're a rapist", it's not saying "ALL MEN DO THIS MEN SUCK" it's saying "If you do this, then you're a rapist." Why don't you try reading the checklist with a little more devoted to reading comprehension than this person apparently gave.
When I was a teenager it was common for women to go to the police and file a rape charge because they got dumped.
Yes, women have egos that are hard to deal with too especially when they are teenagers.
Amongst my female friends, we question the girls who cry rape big time because we saw this happening with our own eyes when
we were young. We understand how much getting dumped hurts but we also understand that it destroys the male's life. Do you know what they do to rapists in prison? Not very nice. The girsl are sorry after they have gotton over the breakup but they can never undo what they did to the male or his family.
Sad thing about egos? The young girls will follow it through to the end even though they know they are lying.
The best thing I can think of to do is make them take lie detector tests. I would easily say that 50% of rape complaints are false.
ALL RAPISTS LIE ABOUT RAPE.
No male has ever admitted in a courtroom to rape; yet logically we know that some males do rape.
ALL RAPISTS LIE ABOUT RAPE.
Descriptive studies show that compared to their less aggressive peers, sexually aggressive men typically view relationships with women as hostile and adversarial, have a more promiscuous and impersonal orientation toward sex (Malamuth, Linz, Heavy, & Acker, 1995), and show greater arousal to depictions of forced intercourse (Bernat, 1997; Lohr, Adams, & Davis, 1997). Social information processing and judgments of sexual interactions are further influenced by aggressive men's rape supportive cognitions (e.g., Bernat, Wilson, & Calhoun, 1997).
MEN WHO ADMIT TO RAPE BUT ARE NEVER ARRESTED:
Pooling data from four samples in which 1,882 men were assessed for acts of interpersonal violence, we report on 120 men whose self-reported acts met legal definitions of rape or attempted rape, but who were never prosecuted by criminal justice authorities. A majority of these undetected rapists were repeat rapists, and a majority also committed other acts of interpersonal violence. The repeat rapists averaged 5.8 rapes each. The 120 rapists were responsible for 1,225 separate acts of interpersonal violence, including rape, battery, and child physical and sexual abuse. These findings mirror those from studies of incarcerated sex offenders (Abel, Becker, Mittelman, Cunningham-Rathner, Rouleau, & Murphy, 1987; Weinrott and Saylor, 1991), indicating high rates of both repeat rape and multiple types of offending.
STATISTICALLY, "Bird" IS LIKELY TO BE A RAPIST.
Here are summary findings from ten porn-related laboratory experiments. These studies show that viewing both violent and non-violent pornography can:
• increase the acceptance of rape myths
• increase male aggression toward females
• decrease sensitivity to the crime of rape
• predispose willingness to rape
• increase the acceptance of violence against women
• decrease support for women's rights
• alter perceptions of "common" sexual behavior
• decrease sexual satisfaction with self and partner

ALL RAPISTS LIE ABOUT RAPE.
If a man does something against his will because a woman nags and pesters and baits and badgers and insults and verbalises and manipulates him to the point that he just does what she says to escape the abuse, then she is responsible for the outcome of his actions?
Yup, if you ever just want to fuck over a guy - just play the damsel in distress and scream "abuse!" And the authorities will come running to arrest the poor sap like all the King's men. No questons asked!
Rape is Rape.
PERIOD.
Ok, can we just be honest here? A part of me feels that - well, RAPE IS HOT! I wanna be raped!
Does anybody wanna rape me?
Bird, you're clearly a nasty man, but I do think you raise some legitimate points. Claiming that sex with a boyfriend you had been happily screwing earlier the same day is rape just belittles real rape. I feel for unefemme because she has obviously been through a lot of a pain, and 'no means no therefore he raped me' is an easy thing to grab on to to avoid addressing the real causes of that pain, which are almost always the woman's own emotional issues.
I realized this when I was 21. I was infatuated with a guy at college and had been for years. He cared nothing for me, but one night after a party, he presumably found himself feeling horny and decided I would be easy meat. He broke into my college room where I was sleeping and climbed on top of me. It took me a while to work out what was going on because I was so crazy about him I thought I must be having a wonderful dream. Then when I felt his dick starting to push into me I realized it was real, and it wasn't right, and I shouted at him to stop. He looked extremely surprised and ran away.
Is it rape because he broke in and started sticking his dick into me? Is it not rape because it never actually got inside me, and because he stopped when I screamed? I spent a couple of years wondering, and one bleak night I even went to the police station to report it, but I decided not to when I stopped to ask myself what exactly I was hurting over. It wasn't because of the sex - I would happily have had sex with him under different circumstances. I was hurting because he didn't love me, didn't want me. That's what I wanted him to 'pay' for, but of course you can't prosecute someone for that! So women bring rape charges instead.
Society doesn't help at all by encouraging women to revel in victimhood. Almost everyone I confided in about this incident was horrified, said it was definitely rape, said I had to report it, he needed to be punished etc etc. I am so grateful to the one woman who said "Ah that sucks, but these things happen all the time. You just have to get over it and move on." Her words helped me grow up and build a life that I'm in charge of.
Now, it's rare that a false accuser would actually get caught and punished for this - but this typical story does show their devious mindset and absolute denial of accountability.
Prison for the cheating wife who made up rape attack as an alibi
June 7, 2005
By Nicola Woolcock
AN UNFAITHFUL wife was jailed for 12 months yesterday after crying rape to cover up her infidelity.
Merete Underwood, who abandoned her husband and young son during an evening out, panicked when she realised that her one-night stand had resulted in a missing person report to police, Middlesex Guildhall Crown Court was told. The alleged rapist, an interior designer, spent 24 hours in a cell and had the prospect of prosecution hanging over him for three months.
Even after his 32-year-old accuser was charged with perverting the course of justice, she continued to lie for a further year. It was only as the jury was about to be sworn in to try her that she confessed.
Underwood, who is being divorced by her husband, Toby, wept as the judge said that her last-minute plea of guilty and previous good character could not save her from jail. “Rape is an extremely serious offence and quite rightly any allegation of rape is dealt with very seriously by police, as indeed is your allegation,” Recorder Andrew McCooey said.
“I have heard from the prosecution the impact this had on this innocent man, not to mention the many thousands of pounds that has been wasted, all brought about by your pack of lies. And you didn’t have the decency to admit to it and put this man out of his misery,” he added.
Still distressed, Underwood, of Kingston upon Thames, southwest London, was led to the cells.
Earlier, Joanne Hacking, for the prosecution, said that on February 25 last year Underwood, who is Norwegian, and her two-year-old son, met her husband after he had finished work. A few drinks in one pub were followed by more in another. “Then at about 9.30pm she went to the bathroom. A few minutes later her husband, curious as to why she had not returned, asked bar staff to check the toilets,” Ms Hacking said. “There was no sign of her there and no sign of her outside.”
Although worried, Mr Underwood’s priority was their son’s welfare and he took him home. “He eventually went to bed, woke up at 5am and realised his wife was still not home. He was astounded by this and very worried.” He reported her disappearance to the police. Not long afterwards he received a text message from his wife’s phone saying: “Merete is OK, but cries and wants to go home, but not finished with her here. Good fk she.”
Soon after that he received a call from his boss to say that his wife had been found and had been taken to a police station. The court was told that Underwood said that she had been raped and indecently assaulted.
She went on to describe how she had left the pub for a breath of fresh air when a stranger approached, grabbed her by the hair, forced her into a car and then drove her to an hotel room in Bayswater, Central London, where two men allegedly stripped her and took it in turns to have sex with her.
Underwood added that altogether she was held captive for 12 hours. She identified the innocent 34-year-old interior designer as one of the “rapists”. She later confessed to chatting him up in the nearby Beachcombers’ White Wine Bar and admitted she spent the night with him. Not only had three officers been involved in the investigation, but forensic laboratory facilities were tied up, closed-circuit television footage examined and a number of statements taken.
Miss Hacking said that her “unfortunate victim” did everything he could to convince police that he was innocent.
He explained that he had been with a group of friends in the wine bar when Underwood simply walked up to him, began chatting and kissed him on the mouth and held his hand. They left the club and went to an hotel.
Miss Hacking added: “There they shared a can of beer and then went on to have consensual sex. The following morning when they woke up there was further sexual intercourse.”
A couple of hours later they left the room and went to a nearby post office where surveillance cameras picked her up “laughing and smiling and entirely at ease” with her illicit lover.
Woman who cried rape five times is spared jail for perverting the course of justice

A binge-drinking woman who accused five innocent men of rape walked free from court.
Tracy Brooks, 26, wasted massive amounts of police time when she made two false allegations against two friends within the space of a month last summer.
The men were arrested, questioned, held for hours in custody and faced the prospect of a lengthy prison sentence if her claims were believed.
But weeks later, she came clean and told detectives the allegations were false.
Several years ago, Brooks, a self-confessed binge-drinker, falsely accused three other men of rape in separate incidents, Newcastle Crown Court was told.
In 2001 and 2002, she made complaints against two former boyfriends and in 2004, she told police she had been raped by a friend's boyfriend.
But the judge said he could not take these incidents into account in passing sentence because she had never been formally cautioned or charged in relation to them.
Instead, Brooks, of North Shields, North Tyneside, was given a 32-week suspended prison sentence and a three-month night-time curfew.
She had admitted two charges of perverting the course of justice.
The court heard she made one complaint last July 31, telling police she had been attacked by a male friend at his home.
The man was arrested and made to give DNA samples, while she was examined by a doctor and a video was made of her describing her fake ordeal to detectives.
Just a month later on August 30, she made another complaint, saying a different friend had raped her in her home.
The man went through a similar ordeal and she was again examined and videotaped.
It was weeks later, on September 27, that she was arrested and the allegations against the men were formally withdrawn.
Passing sentence, Judge David Hodson told her: "The effect of your false complaints was two men were subjected to a substantial degree of humiliation and a colossal amount of anxiety that they were being charged with an offence that could have resulted in a very lengthy sentence of imprisonment."
The judge said she had escaped custody by "a hair's breadth" and added: "I am sure the two men who were the victims of your false complaints would expect you should receive an immediate sentence of imprisonment.
"But I take the view it would be counter-productive in the light of the more stable life you have had recently."
Defence barrister Gavin Doig said Brooks, who had a history of mental health problems, was an alcoholic who came from a troubled background.
He said she was making good progress with the help of mental health organisations.
After the case, jobless Brooks apologised for her actions, saying: "I feel devastated and ashamed of what I have done.
"On top of my mental health problems, I have had a drink problem for a very long time, though I haven't drunk now for five months.
"Giving up booze has given me clarity of mind and now I feel I am a better person."
Another lying bitch busted...
Another man's life ruined...
Another woman blaming her crime on someone else...
Stop me if you've heard this one before...
Woman pleads guilty to false rape report
By Peyton Whitely
Seattle Times Eastside bureau
A 22-year-old former Woodinville woman pleaded guilty Tuesday to making a false rape accusation against a local college professor last June.
King County District Court Judge Peter Nault called the case one of the "saddest" he'd ever seen in court and one that is likely to have long-term impact on future investigations.
"That we hurry to castigate a person who turns out to be entirely innocent ... I don't know how it could be worse," said Nault, saying the incident will make it harder for real sexual victims to bring their cases forward.
Nault accepted a guilty plea from Katherine M. Clifton, accused of making false statements to a public servant.
Those statements led to the rape charge last summer against the professor who subsequently spent nine days in jail and was placed on leave from his job.
Clifton declined to comment at the hearing but filed a detailed statement saying that she had been sexually abused by her grandfather, who was convicted of rape of a child in 1994.
"In order to understand why, I have to explain what has happened to me in my past that has forever affected me," she wrote.
Clifton, who now lives in Ellensburg, was sentenced to serve 365 days in jail, with 357 days suspended, and to pay a $5,000 fine, with $4,750 suspended, plus other conditions that include probation and community service. Nault also ordered her to pay the professor's attorney fees.
The professor declined to discuss the charges, saying he wants to put the past behind him, and asked not to be identified.
The King County Prosecutor's Office concedes a mistake was made in the original prosecution but said it was acting on the best information available at the time.
"In hindsight, what was presented to us was an allegation of a violent rape," said Ian Goodhew, deputy chief of staff. "That doesn't mean the investigation stopped."
Clifton was "an extremely articulate and credible victim," said Sgt. John Urquhart, Sheriff's Office spokesman. "There was no reason to suspect she wasn't telling the truth."
The investigation started July 9, when Clifton met with a detective, according to court records.
She described a series of contacts with the professor beginning the previous March. She showed police e-mail messages she said were from the professor which said he had "romantic feelings" and seemed to promise to raise her grade if she agreed "to a few conditions."
Clifton also told detectives the professor "randomly showed up at locations she frequented" at least 15 times.
She said that at 7 a.m. on July 5 the professor went into her Woodinville house and raped her.
On July 10, detectives contacted the professor, who denied all the charges and said he'd never seen Clifton off the school campus. He acknowledged exchanging e-mails with her but said the ones she provided to police had been altered.
The professor was charged with first-degree rape and burglary on July 12. The Prosecutor's Office asked for $500,000 bail, describing the professor as "an extreme threat to the victim and the community."
But as detectives continued working, it became clear that the text in the e-mails had been changed. None of the professor's fingerprints were found at Clifton's house. A sexual-assault examination found no evidence of rape.
The detective also checked on a supposed court order shown by Clifton to people at the college that seemed to bear the heading "In the Superior Court of Washington State for King County" and apparently ordered her not to talk about the professor.
But the judge's signature was illegible and the case number didn't match any King County filings.
On July 25, Clifton told detectives she had forged a judge's signature and made up a legal document on her computer.
On July 26 the charges were dismissed, and a day later Clifton was charged with making false statements to a public servant.
Clifton's attorney, Kelly Faoro, said her client has "extremely deep remorse" for the false statements and realizes that "none of this makes it any better" for the professor.
The professor now has his job back, but said in court documents that the experience would stay with him.
"Even though I did absolutely nothing wrong ... my rape and burglary with sexual-motivation charges, albeit false, will remain in the court records forever," he swore in one filing.
King County Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Shelby Smith said Clifton's actions will also "harm the community of sexual-assault victims," who will find their cases more difficult to pursue.
"Other victims will be treated with more scrutiny," she said.

No surprise here.
Women lie like they breathe.
Pop quiz:
If a woman consents to sex, but changes her mind halfway through - and the guy stops within 5 seconds - is that legally "rape?"
A US jury believes so.
Guess sex is the new "stoplight, greenlight" for adults now.
i agree that there are women who cry rape out of spite or jealousy or whatever. but that does not give anyone the right to effectively say that a woman is to blame for being raped. not all guys are rapists, but some are. i know girls who falsely cried rape and it makes me want to slap them around. i also have a friend who was raped by a guy and didn't report it because she was convinced the cops wouldn't believe her. he was twice her age, in the military, and was supposed to be a mentor to her. he took advantage of the fact that she was shy and had self-esteem issues. it was not her fault.
also, sometimes women can't avoid a potentially dangerous situation. i sometimes have to leave my college campus and come back after dark, and i can't park right by my dorm. i take precautions like walking in well-lit areas and calling a friend so that someone knows where i am and can call the cops if something happens, but i am still at risk. guys who say a girl "put herself in danger" are the same guys who think it's ok to get overly pushy. i like dominant aggressive guys, but i expect that if i get seriously uncomfortable and i say "no" or "stop" that he will stop. it's about having respect for another human being. you obviously don't.
So, what if this happened?
A 13-yo lies on Myspace and says she's 19.
She has sex with 2 guys in their 20s.
One guy decides to check and asks her father how old she is?
Her dad tells him 19 - and calls the cops on him.
Now, one guy is serving 5 years in jail - the other 1.
Was this fair?
She lies, but HE pays??? These guys serve time - but she gets off scot-free?! Call in now - operators standing by!
Even before a 19-year-old sophomore filed a complaint with university officials accusing Shaw-Fox of sexually assaulting her in October, his name had become mud online. The charge came in a forum that requires no jury and demands no corroboration: the social-networking Web site Facebook.com. When the accuser told some female students about the alleged assault, several women students launched a Facebook "group," an online bulletin board that connects members with a common interest. Their goal was to protect others from a person they considered potentially dangerous. The group's not-so-subtle title: "Morgan Shaw-Fox is a piece of s--- rapist."
The group was supposed to be private. But within in a week, 80 students had joined, and "it spread like wildfire over campus," according to Caitlyn (Calli) Bishop, who helped create the forum. (The accuser had no part in creating the site, Bishop told NEWSWEEK.)
Shaw-Fox has not been arrested or charged in the case. In a Facebook posting thanking friends for support, he wrote, "I am innocent of all sexual assault on any level."
he seemed anxious to tell his version of events.
Shaw-Fox and his accuser were not strangers. The two had dated briefly in 2006, but hadn't seen much of each other until Oct. 10 of last year, when the alleged victim text-messaged him out of the blue, and he invited her to his room. In an anonymous letter the woman sent to the campus newspaper a week later, which didn't name Shaw-Fox, she said she "initiated" the interaction, and that both of them had been drinking when the visit turned sexual.
So, binge-drinking with a f-buddy & initiating sex - but then changing her mind the next morning = ""rape?" And all men are guilty until proven innocent with the rush to judgment? CLASSIC!
life has been hell since he was wrongly accused of rape
By James Tozer
11:47 PM on 12th June 2008
The son of former haulage boss Eddie Stobart yesterday told how his life had been made hell since he was wrongly accused of rape by a 15-year-old girl.
Edward Andrew Stobart, 19, said he had been beaten up and told to 'dig his own grave' following the case.
His trial collapsed after it emerged that the alleged victim had drunk so much cider that she could not remember what had happened.
Sporting two black eyes and cuts to his face, the teenager backed calls for those accused of rape to be given anonymity unless they are found guilty.
'My life has not been worth living for the past month since the case finished,' he said. 'I am too scared to go outside on my own.
'I think it is worse because people know who my family is and that my dad is Edward Stobart.'
The teenager, who is known as Andrew and is the adopted son of Mr Stobart, was accused of raping the girl in woods near his home village of Houghton, near Carlisle, in April last year.
The trial at Carlisle Crown Court was told she had been drinking with friends until she passed out, awakening to find Stobart having sex with her in a churchyard. He denied the claim.
The case was thrown out last month after Judge Paul Batty QC called the girl's evidence 'deeply flawed', pointing out that she had spent time with him the day after the alleged attack and even exchanged text messages with him.
Footage shot earlier on a mobile phone showed her falling over drunk in a park, and the trial heard that she later had to ask friends what had happened.
But although the prosecution was abandoned, she retains her anonymity, unlike Mr Stobart, who says he was attacked by a 15-strong mob at the weekend.
'It's not the first time I have been beaten up, I have been told to dig my own grave – it's horrible,' he said.
'Every time I go out I am shouted at and I have been spat at and called names like "Scum".
'I don't think it is fair that someone who accuses another of rape is given anonymity even if it is proven that it did not happen.'
The teenager is in hiding and says he cannot get a job because of the allegation.
His father founded the haulage company which bears his name in the 1970s and at one point the family fortune was put at £60million.
The fleet of lorries with their red and green livery became something of a national institution, with the policy of giving each truck a female name helping to attract a 35,000-strong fan club.
However Eddie Stobart was bought out by his younger brother William in 2003 and no longer plays any part in the business.
Andrew Stobart and his three sisters were adopted by Mr Stobart and his wife Sylvia, the haulage boss's former secretary.
The couple are divorced and Andrew said yesterday he had little contact with his adoptive father.
Mr Stobart, 53, moved to Warwickshire and now has a new partner and a young daughter.
Life-long anonymity for victims of alleged rape or sexual assault was introduced in the 1970s.
"UneFemmePlusCourageuse"
It's obvious from her username (which gives me no clue who she really is, and is no less "cowardly" than using "anonymous") that she has an inflated self-image.
In reality, she's a silly skank/tramp who is attracted to badboys and blames all men, instead of herself, when her stupid choices go wrong.
However, she has provided me with a few good laughs today.
I sincerely hope the next thug she takes up with treats her better.
There must be a mandatory jail term equivalent of a rape charge for any woman who falsely cries rape. The woman is not just lying, but wrecking the man's life, and possibly ending it in jail. In which case it should be the same as first degree murder.
I would perhaps have more sympathy for the 'feminist movement' if they wholeheartedly supported this.
As for "unefemmepluscourageuse" I won't judge you. I don't think anyone has the right to judge anyone else. However there is always two sides to every story, and we've only heard yours. I don't think your screen name is a suitable description though.
The whole feminist movement has been exposed now for what it truly is. Let us hope that it is pushed onto the fringes of society with no legal power, and accepted as much as racism is in a modern society. Feminism has never been about equal rights, and it is feminist propaganda trying to tie it in with the earlier women's rights movement.
Finally to say that rape is NEVER a woman's fault -
This statement is completely retarded from the offset. NEVER is a pretty powerful word.
Yes some rape cases is not the woman's fault at all,
but every rape case is NEVER a woman's fault?!
Anyone who goes into a poor crime ridden area flashing bank notes is NEVER at fault for getting pick pocketed or mugged?! If you go into a poor crime ridden area, don't flash your money. This is common sense to everyone but a feminist. Although having said that, being a feminist is not exactly about being too smart either.
