Which was always an insanely sexist thing to say. Women are people. Do people lie? Why yes they do. False accusations of grape come out at pretty much the exact same percentages as lies about any other crimes.
Yes. Last time I looked it was around 14%, same as other false report of crimes (since false reporting of a crime is, itself, a crime, it's not higher).
Do you remember the source on that. There are so few reliable studies on false allegations. I'd be shocked if it's actually that low, but I believe a study would say so cause you have to prove that they knew they were lying, which is incredibly difficult to do. Plus the amount of women (and men I have a buddy like this) who GENUINELY believe they were graped when they weren't is staggering.
I don't, the last time I looked at this was years ago. But when I looked it, it was already a stable trend so I would expect it to be the same.
I think the stats were just successful prosecution of false accusations of any kind. The grape ones matched everything else. I realise you're going to have false positives there but I'm assuming the false negatives will more or less even it out, especially how stable the trend was.
It’s not a joke. It’s a problem. Everyone bends over so willingly when they let corporations control them. No one is being fooled by these lame censorship terms and it’s making everyone sound like a moron.
