40% of teenage boys believe women lie about domestic and sexual violence: new research (theconversation.com)

Support for violence to resist feminism was highest among adolescent boys (28%), followed closely by adolescent girls (21%).

Perhaps most alarming: roughly 40% of boys aged 13 to 17 agreed that women lie about domestic and sexual violence.

These results raise crucial questions going forward. We don’t yet know how these views have changed over time, whether they are on the rise and what the links are between violent extremism and the negative treatment of women.

I had an accuser in college who got kicked out after she accused multiple other men and it was investigated and the cops got involved.

The reason she accused me is she came on to me and I rejected her. So she told people I sexually harassed her and tried to force he to have sex with me.

I haven't had any other accusations like that in my life, thankfully. But I have had dating encounters where I either rejected a woman sexually, or simple didn't want to have sex with her that night, and she became hostile and made threats, including saying she would report me for sexual assault.

The scariest one was a woman I went on a couple of dates with, thought was cool but she got really really like falling down drunk on one of our dates and she insisted on coming home with me. I ended up just putting her to bed on my couch. The next morning she was gone, and send me this crazy nasty texts about how if I was a 'real man' I'd have raped her and she is going to post all about me on the internet because she knows my name and address (she actually didn't know my name). Even when you do the right thing as a guy, for some women, it's the wrong thing because you didn't rape her and she feels rejected.
