63 - False Rape Claims

Today's video is brought to you by a donation from David and this is what he had to say "Hi sandman, Thanks for making my last video, was wondering if you could make another one talking about false rape claims (the statistics regarding them) + the price men pay who are falsely accused, even after they have been proven innocent specifically here in the USA. Thanks -David" The difference between what David wants me to do and what I've done in the past

is to present a fact based argument with regards to false rape statistics in the United States. The most important thing is figure out the source of any stats that outline false allegations and outline them in an unbiased way. The source I'm using for this video is actually an article from back in 2009 called "Why It's So Hard to Quantify False Rape Charges. How Often Do Women Women Falsely Cry Rape?" One of the main reasons feminists get away with promoting the idea that there is a rape culture is because there are no stats to back up what they are saying or stats to disprove what they are saying. It's the obscurity and unavailability of information that allows feminists to say what they do without the Men's Rights Movement proving them wrong. The lack of information in this case is like walking into a dark room with cockroaches in it. You don't know how many false allegations there are versus actual rapes. The actual rapes being the cockroaches in this case, just so I don't piss any feminists off. According to this article there were about 200,000 rapes in 2008. So assuming violent crimes have continued trending down today there would be about 180,000 to 200,000 rapes in 2013 with about 20,000 of them being false allegations. And we are not including the statistics for male rape in prison here. Susan Brownmiller wrote a book back in 1975 called Against our Will: Men, Women and Rape. In her book she says she interviews female police officers in New York Cities rape squad and those are the stats she got. But those are not cold hard stats. On the other side of the coin we have a male author Phillip Rumney and he claims the 2 percent isn't an accurate statistic either and he says the false allegations make up 40% of the cases of rape charges being filed. His data is based on the work of EJ Kanin in the "Archives of Sexual Behaviour." Here's a quote from the article: "Kanin looked at 109 reports of rape to police in one small Midwestern metropolitan area over nine years. His pool was small. The police he studied always offered the victim a polygraph—perhaps signaling they doubted her veracity. And Kanin himself "warns against generalizing from his findings." That's what the article says. one hundred and nine people is a very small cross section of the population and polygraph tests can be fudged and don't always hold up. So I'm willing to split the difference and say that 10-30% of rape allegations are false. It's simply impossible to know how many and David I wish I could give you a clear answer because then we would have some hard data to present to feminists and they wouldn't be able to scream rape culture if thirty percent of all rape allegations were fake.
