May I ask the women, why do some women note that the harm of such false accusations is to the real victims of rape -- and you don't even mention the innocent man whose life is destroyed?

Yes, it is a "gain" to be demonized by family / friends / your employer / your community... all of which might have suspicions about you for the rest of your life... some of whom might only hear about the accusation & not the resolution.
Yes... men gain a little thing called "a community shunning."
And some men, especially teachers get removed from their jobs without a conviction.
Hate speech like that is perfectly acceptable by high ranking women in our colleges.
Misandry goes unchallenged & unpunished.
More "male privilege" I guess.

A false accusation is an assault on an innocent person's dignity, and subjects him to public scorn. It can result in a loss of liberty and the other hardships of prison life, including the likelihood of rape. Catherine Comins might benefit from this experience.
___If one looks at the doctrines of authentically patriarchal ages, one finds that honor figures far more prominently in a man's being at peace with himself than today, when men are subjected to feminized notions of the human person, and to feminist denigrations of the notion of honor. When society evolved to the point where men had the freedom to articulate the authentically masculine voice, honor is a crucial component of self. But our society has evolved in a different direction for centuries, and now that freedom is had by women, so an authentically masculine psychology is nowhere to be found. Not accidentally, men are dysfunctional today more than in the past.
___And false accusation, which was the only lie bad enough to make it into the Ten Commandments, is considered a realtively trivial offense today. But for men, a false accusation is like a rape of the soul.
___RT(R): "most men who are accused did it." What about the 40-60% of rape charges that are falsely filed? The high incidence of women who file false rape charges doesn't contradict that rape is underreported-- there are three populations of women involved here: those who are raped and report it, those who are raped and don't report it, and women who aren't raped and report it anyway. Rape is both overreported and underreported at the same time. You've been listening to too many feminists. Hasn't it been shown enough that feminist statistics are absurdly unreliable? Just because it "feels" like something "must" be true doesn't make it true.

No. Apart from a sometime too intimate first hand knowledge of how it feels to be treated as a criminal. And what sane person would voluntarily go through that?
Women who cry rape and KNOW that it wasn't, make it harder for those that are. A wicked thing indeed, and totally unjust. Nobody deserves to be accused of a crime for spite.
That comment smacks of "he's a man and so deserves to be treated like dirt". So wrong.

No. There is nothing positive to gain when you are accused of a crime you didn't commit.
Rape is a serious crime and a very touchy subject. Women who falsely cry rape make things so difficult for other women who actually did.

There is nothing to gain if you are accused of rape, especially if you didnt commit it. Kobe Bryant is one of the lucky, I doubt he was innocent, and he still is a endorsement liability. You dont see commercials with him in it do you....

No. It's hate speech against men. Just like "all men are potential rapists" and other feminist sayings.

Women (mostly the feminist) blow rape crime way out of proportion. The actual number is much smaller.

If they "gain" anything, I'd think it would be a distrust of women.
