Crying Wolf – False Rape Accusations

Rape is a very topic. I believe that any human being that forces themselves onto another, is not worthy of life, air, they are just the lowest scum of the earth.  According to the U.S. Department of Justice, in 2007, there were 248,300 victims of rape, attempted rape, or sexual assault.1 (These figures do not include victims 12 years old or younger).  That’s almost a quarter million people assaulted each year, and that’s just the one who reported the attacks. Although most people believe that females are the only victims of rape, what they are not aware of is,

“About 3% of American men – a total of 2.78 million men – have experienced a rape at some point in their lifetime” (Tjaden & Thoennes, 2006).

Because of these biased beliefs, the judicial system shows favoritism towards women when it comes to these matters. Authorities are much more likely to believe and investigate a woman’s claims of rape then a man’s. Also the jury is more inclined to believe that a man is guilty of rape, and are less likely to convict a woman because it’s difficult to put the woman in the aggressors’ shoes. Also women are the majority of the sexual assault victims, so when it happens to a man its just difficult for people to fathom. Women know this fact and will use it to their advantage. There are women out there who have screamed rape, because they know that most people will not only suspect them of lying, but will fully believe their claims. This puts the man in a very vulnerable position, because it’s basically his words against the women’s and lets be realistic here, most juries will side with the women. Society has labeled the man as the aggressor and the woman the victim when it comes to these matters. The link I provided is a rare instance where a women’s guilt got the best of her and she actually admitted she was lying. The accused was set free, and I personally believe she should be held accountable and be incarcerated herself!  This is just one instance; there are hundreds of men sitting in jail as I am typing this, because of an evil woman’s lies. LIES LIES LIES!!!!!

  1. Well it is true what the article implies, that when a rape occurs the guilt is imposed on the men. One of the reasons this occurs is that the women are defend-less, less powerful & their stories on rape are more credible. Also men are somehow more obsessed when it comes to sexual encounters. Of course not all stories are credible, and let’s all of a sudden believe only women when it comes to rapes, but men rapes do occur at a fragile age, like in their younger years, as kids or molested by close family members, therefore having a post traumatic stress in the future life.

    I was reading at the false rape society that a university was recently charged with fabricating and inflating rape statistics, in order to get more federal dollars for these fabricated numbers. This seems problematic if there are other universities that are also doing it.
