(Anonymous) 2014-03-01 03:47 am (UTC)(link)The false accusations I've seen (and yes, I've seen multiple cases; I'm afraid I knew some fucked-up people when I was younger) never involved the police. One was a whisper campaign, a rumor spread on purpose to hurt someone. Another was a social ploy to get sympathy and attention, without any regard for the feelings of the person accused.
Ask yourself: how many people have you known who would maliciously spread rumors to hurt someone? How many people have you known who would make things up for attention? Do you think those people all make one exception to the lies they'll tell, leaving out rape because that would be uncouth? People online routinely lie about having terminal diseases just to get attention, after all.
This kind of thing is, in my view, yet another manifestation of rape culture. When the very way society talks about sex enables rape culture, it also enables the development of things adapted to live within that culture. When we're conditioned to make these mental exceptions for rape as opposed to other crimes, we open the possibility for people to exploit those exceptions. That's why we have to work to end rape culture, to change the horrible statistics and the horrible attitudes that give rise to them. But I don't think we can do that by pretending that one of rape culture's manifestations doesn't exist or isn't important or shouldn't ever be mentioned.
I know I'll probably get called an MRA for saying this, but that's exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about.

(Anonymous) 2014-03-01 03:59 am (UTC)(link)It's not about being "uncouth." Anyone who has seen how real rape victims get raked over the coals for coming forward with what happened to them is probably going to think twice before putting themselves through that when they haven't been raped themselves. A lot of people who are raped don't tell anyone about it because of the way rape victims are treated by the people around them, the media, and the police or other authority figures who are supposed to be helping them.
