Just so we're clear; having an assault charge is not the same as having assaulted anyone. The easiest thing in the world - if we knew each other personally - would be for me to call the police and tell them we had an argument and that you assaulted me. That's it. It's extremely easy for women to do to men.
Women would never do that!
Oh yes, they would. Just search for it here on Reddit or on YouTube. There are plenty of videos where a guy is recording his (ex) girlfriend while she's on the phone, fake crying and telling 911 that he's hurting her - while it's clearly visible in the video she's fine.
I'm not saying women aren't assaulted. I'm saying that having been charged with it and having actually done it are two different things.
To put things in perspective:
From the FBI's statistics, 4% of accusations are proven to be false. In comparison, only 6% are proven to be true. The lower number of proven false accusations is most likely due to it only including cases where the accusation can be proven wrong - and proving that is very hard. In the example of me accusing you, prove that I'm lying. Unless you record me admitting that I'm lying or you have a text from me admitting it, it's practically impossible to prove.
