22,000 false rape reports are made in the U.K each year

I should've known that I couldn't open a thread about rape on here without almost every guys biggest concern being false rape reports..
something men sure do like to pretend happens a lot more than it does, so that they can easily question the validity of rape claims. Innocent until proven guilty.. unless you're a female victim! Right? Because we all know rape & assault victims regularly have their character and lives scrutinized.
Let me clarify- I believe reporting a false rape is heinous and should be punishable.
But I think people have honestly become totally fucking delusional when it comes to how often that actually happens.

From RAINN with references from the Justice Department & FBI:
NSVRC & FBI say false rape reports make up about 2-8%, that's about THE SAME PERCENTAGE FOR OTHER FELONIES. (Stanford MAAN)
So I'll take that issue more seriously when every time someone reports getting robbed, everyone claims false robbery!
I would very much like to address rape against males with respect and consideration as well, as I've seen plenty of posts on FreeOnes directly where a man in an article reported a rape and a bunch of people on here all huddled together to talk about how "lucky" he was.. even if the male is an underage kid.
I read this and it sickened me. It sickens me that men can try to use rape of all things to twist legislation to work in their stupid religious agenda and at the cost of victims of the most horrible crime that exists to common people. Until you've experienced, you don't have the right to speak about it. Period. Look what Ari posted, the % of false claims is between 3 and 8% that isn't a small percent to you???????? so the other 90% can just deal with it and shut the fuck up right?
You are all fucking twisted if you don't think that this is ridiculous. Without saying that I hope all your wives and daughters are raped to show you the light, you best hope because I can tell you it's horrible and changes your life forever.
Do you know what it means? I say you don't. Claiming, like you do, that 8-10% of innocent men with ruined lives and in jail because falsely accused of raping is a necessary evil means exactly throwing the baby out with the baby water. You're a "genius".she throws the baby out with the bath water

For me a rapist should rot in jail.
For me a person who makes false accusations of rape shall rot in jail.
Clear and simple. There is no but or that's more frequent than the other or the other is better than that or bla bla bla. They are both very bad crimes which share the same very bad outcome for the victim: a ruined life. I don't give a shit about the victim/offender genders. I want justice.

In principal this is nice, but what evidence would be used to constitute a false allegation of rape? In a few cases their is ample evidence that the accuser initiated a false claim; however I would be very concerned that a failure to gain a conviction of rape against the accused could be used as evidence of a false allegation. To me this would result in even fewer incidents of rape being reported. The statistics Ari Dee shared highlight how difficult it is to gain a conviction, and I do not believe that all cases where a conviction was not obtained equals a false allegation.For me a rapist should rot in jail.

Thoughts?
why don't you try and refute her points instead of name calling?
I think you may want to consider the fact that, the op, generally NEVER starts a thread with the intent of discussing things in a rational, and logical manor, but rather intends to inflame, and bait. Perhaps, the discussion of this vile subject would be more on the reasonable side if it were started by someone with far less attitude, and arrogance towards anyone, and anything that is contrary to their beliefs. I think if you look back over this section, I think you will see what I'm saying.

Show me one person on this thread that said this shit, that rape victims should just deal with the fact of being raped. Of course you can't do it because no one said this. No one believes this. And you know this. But you see, that's not your real issue. Your REAL issue is people here not seeing things the way you do. That people on here aren't making post after post about rapists being the most evil people on earth or coddling up to rape victims, and even to some extent people on here have been doing that. We've all in some way acknowledged that rape is fucked up and rapists are fucked up, but it's almost as if you only see what you want to see, which would be sad if it weren't funny. Like I said to Ari, the only thing us guys and Sabrina have been saying is that we want the lying twats to face prosecution for lying. That's it. And the fact that you are so willing to dismiss liars that can potentially ruin every aspect of the life of an accused says so much about your character.
You quoted Ari when she said false claims is 2%-8%. I still believe that the actual number is indeterminable, but playing devil's advocate here, let's assume this to be true. She also says "that's about THE SAME PERCENTAGE FOR OTHER FELONIES." Go ahead and explain to everyone how you'd like to live in a world where 2%-8% of of murders and other violent perpetrators, drunk drivers, and thieves got to walk away scott free with no type of incarceration or penalty whatsoever, or even charge to their record, after they've blatantly admitted to committing the crime.
I invite everyone to watch this video from one of my favorite YT channels. It's an older vid but I feel still has a relevant look about feminism and rape, people that throw around the term rape apologist and victim blaming, and the controversial topic of women with rape fantasies (I've personally known 2 women that have admitted this to me and have been in a sex group on FB where most of the women there all admitted to it on some level). Fair warning: it's 27 minutes so it might be considered kind of long, and it's all text-to-speech so it might be off putting for some to listen to, but would still like for people to try to check it out.
