Realistically, I think that there are false claims of rape but there are an equal amount of false claims made by men about women (she's crazy! it never happened!) and there are plenty of sexual assaults that are never reported because women know what a he-said/she-said thing it is and how difficult it is to prove. |
Here's the sections from the book. I remember there was a whole section on what women are more likely to be false accusers. E.g. if you're a nerd and a woman regrets sleeping with you, you're more likely to be accused of rape than a star athelete.

I think this is a teachable moment for sons, but it goes far beyond "avoid crazy chicks." Avoid having sex with any drunk chick. Avoid having sex with other people watching. Avoid having sex with someone you just met.
It really is on the boys to not rape. |
Oh really? |
I totally disagree. people have been put into jail or reputations ruined. It may come through years later when it is too late. |
Jackie talked to a reporter, not the police. Nor did she name anyone. She did not do anything illegal. |
you should read the statute. I believe it says a person is prohibited from publishing a false claim of rape. |
Sadly, intelligence and emotional instability are not mutually exclusive. I think you have to start by teaching your son to respect himself first. If you do not believe in premarital sex, then he needs to hear that from you. If you do not object, you still need to tell him to only have protected sex with someone he loves, respects, and knows well. There is a big hook-up culture out there. It's gratifying to young men and often depressing to young women, and some of them will have buyer's remorse and claim after-the-fact they didn't consent. |
Yes. It can happen. And it is horrible when it does. |
None of those are rape |
While there is something to this, I don't see a need to stigmatize someone with a managed mental illness. So,instead, focus on avoiding people who display erratic and contradictory behavior. Avoid drama and game-players. it sounds so simple and it doesn't just apply to boys vs girls. Teach your kid how to learn to read and trust his/her instincts and don't party so hard that that ability is lost. I learned that one the hard way. And know when to cut and run. |
Women can be as much into the casual hook up scene as men are. And men can be as uncomfortable with the casual hook up scene as women are and have as many regrets as women do. It's not about gender. Both men and women can and do lie about consensual sex. Don't think for a minute that they don't. |
Just one more thought on that book, I know the title and the cover is hokey and what not, but I found it very interesting and informative. Its also written by a lawyer that has handled numerous cases of sexual assault, so he has seen it all. |
You can save a lot of heart ache and pain by avoiding the mentally ill. |
