--This is brainwashing in academia, hands down. What really bothers me is so many men here can read about this and it doesn't really bother them - best to make a few jokes.--

While I can agree with the first part of the thought, what bothers me more is men trying to make rape somehow a crime against them. No matter how many stats you want to try to put forth the amount of women falsely crying rape in no way comes close to the actual brutal and demeaning acts committed against woman.

"what bothers me more is men trying to make rape somehow a crime against them"

An actual rape is a horrific crime against women. A false accusation of rape is a horrific crime against men. They are two totally different issues.

Of course rape is absolutely horrific. But what you're missing is that if a woman is raped, she'll have the entire force of government and society on her side to shelter her and bring her justice. If a man is falsely accused of rape, the entire force of government and society will come down -against him-, and he has not one single legal remedy. Even if it's proven that she maliciously lied, he cannot sue her, he cannot get back the money he spent defending himself, his reputation is destroyed, if he's married his wife has probably left him by this stage, he's probably been fired, and he'll live the rest of his life with feminists claiming that his acquittal was just the product of the male-dominated society letting men go free.

I've seen what happens to men falsely accused of rape. You say rape is far more horrific - and if you're talking about sheer numbers, you're probably correct. But if you're talking about the amount of devastation it wreaks on an individual, I'm not so sure about that. There are many women who claim that the indignity they had to suffer while answering testimony in court was worse than the rape itself, and they're the ones pressing the charges. By those women's testimony, being prosecuted and grilled in public for false and unfair charges is in fact worse than rape.

I'd point out what men have said of the total destruction that our one-sided laws have brought upon them, but I know that what men say won't bring any sympathy, so I have to phrase it in terms of what women say.
