can someone show me feminist support for banks accuser after it was admitted to be false
everyone keeps saying it but i don't really believe it
I'd have to assume it's because it doesn't exist. Support DURING the trial however would be expected. \
I mean we can talk about what is worse between being falsely accused and actually being raped, but it's wholly irrelevant. The fact remains that over half of rapes go unreported. People are afraid of the spotlight that comes out of most rape trials and a lot of people don't think it's worth it to go through the ordeal for the chance to have the person arrested. Nobody should be afraid to tell someone when they have been assaulted, but if someone is unable to prove a rape has occurred (and it's quite hard after some time has passed), they're going to be seen as a liar whether or not they were telling the truth.
It's a terrible thing when an innocent person goes to prison, no one other than a few radicals (who everyone seems to assume speak for all feminists) is arguing against this. But false rape accusations are "swept under the rug" because they are a very small percentage of all rape cases and a much smaller issue than rape which goes unpunished.
