    I feel the issue of false accusations is only brought up when it is a woman falsely accusing a man of rape. No other type of false accusation gets that much attention, it’s own Wikipedia page, multiple blogs, etc. etc.

    I would like someone to make a study about how much false rape accusations are talked about on social media like Reddit, Lemmy, etc. in comparison to, for example, rape cases that never get any conviction. Or convictions for rape that got laughable sentences.

      I don’t think your assessment is accurate, I see stories about wrongful accusations of all sorts all the time. The actual common factor is that they are essentially all against black men, which makes sense seeing as they comprise the majority of the US prison population.
