I still don't understand why rape accusations are taken so seriously without evidence when you wouldn't do the same for a murder. Rape is wrong of course, but so is arresting and trying someone for a crime based on an accusation alone. It's supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, not guilty until proven innocent.


Probably because most people either didn't read The Crucible growing up or didn't take anything away from it.

Not everything is held to legal standards. Your reputation matters. Which is something women have always known, but I guess men think they were above having to keep to standards.


Which is why they never created laws regarding slander and libel... oh wait. And why they never shot each other over manners of honor... oh wait.

But yes, bullshit accusations frequently ruin men's lives and it's a shame that they're not more often taken seriously enough to put the woman in jail, especially given how often women will lie about something to exploit the system in attempt to get back at an ex-boyfriend, husband, etc, from less serious restraining orders to give them a chance to move everything in an apartment/house to rape charges that could put men away for decades.

reputation matters a lot less when you are a nobody. not saying it won't hurt you. just not nearly as much and might completely blow over and everyone practically forgets. i've known several people with shitty reputations deserved or not who moved on to fairly decent lives. some of which had in fact been falsely accused of rape or sexual harassment. one though did end up moving to an area where no one knew him and just started over. but that was a personal choice over the fact he didn't want to live near any of those people anymore.


Considering that an accusation can cost your job, destroy your relationships, etc, often with very little recourse, I'm not sure that's true. If you have any sort of a professional career, your new potential employers are going to talk to the old ones and that same vicious lie will get back to them.
