that may look like a lot on paper
but considering the amount of people in the US alone, that's nothing. at all.
there's more people living in my (small) apartment complex, than is listed on this content.

people are wrongly accused of crimes every day. not just in terms of rape. and not just men.

it's ****** up, but it doesn't mean we should tell someone who claims they were raped, that they're lying until they can prove it.

But it does mean we should stop treating everyone who is accused like a criminal until it is proven

yes, we should
but we need to not let these ******** claims by a few mentally unstable people, change how we treat rape victims. or they will be the ones killing themselves.

Obviously you investigate each claim seriously and thoroughly. But just as the way it is with any crime, you should need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it happened and that they are the party at fault. Once someone is criminalized in the media, they are as good as guilty to everyone else, regardless of actual evidence

Then what happens? Are you guilty until proven innocent or innocent until proven guilty? In many cases, the very second someone is publicly accused for rape, they may as well be guilty, because society already shames them.

There's very little stopping a girl from just pointing at a guy and saying that he raped her with some make-up and waterworks.

The same thing stops us from doing that as you from hurting others, a conscience. There is no lower scum on earth than someone who lies on another person.
