[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Frankly, I am less concerned that my daughter will be rape than a girl will have next morning regrets and accuse my don of rape. I saw it happen more than once in college--that and breakup revenge rape claims.[/quote]

Absolutely agree.  I also saw this frequently in college and it's frightening and disgusting.  And yes, to the obvious responders:  so is rape.  But false accusations cannot simply be dismissed because the fact is, they happen often.[/quote]

I would love some links that show they happen "often."  [/quote]

This is a spot-on article about false accusations.  
http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2014/09/false_rape_accusations_why_must_be_pretend_they_never_happen.html[/quote]

That's actually a pretty well-balanced article that also outlines the prevelance of rape and how women haven't historically been believed.  I believe that any woman who falsely accuses a man of rape should be in big fat trouble for this.  Of course some women lie, and that is hugely wrong.

I like the counterpart article to this (also on Slate) that discusses how often rapes aren't even reported.   It's terribly sad how many women (and men, too) are terrified to go to authorities for being raped.   :(
