    Nice story… And then they all stood up and clapped, amirite?

    Let me explain a little tiny thing about western legal system: you’re innocent until proven guilty. This means that they basic idea of the system is not to jail criminals but to keep the innocent out of jail.

    Yes, many women are assaulted without the perpetrator ever going to jail. That sucks but it’s a hundred times better than the alternative, you do NOT want to waive the “well some are innocent, but hey, collateral damage” away. We fought long and hard to gain these freedoms of not going to jail just because someone said so, I’m not going back to the dark ages.

    Having said that, any man or woman making false claims on crimes causing someone else to be jailed while innocent should serve the sentence of their victim, at the very least.

        Then read it again, because you are not understanding

        You literally claim women won’t lie about being raped. Reality shows that to be not true.

        This, again, is why we have western legal systems where we don’t believe women l, or men, we believe evidence. Even that goes wrong every once in a while, and yes, it means that a lot of criminals stay out of jail bit that is still better than tossing innocent people in jail.

          I am and have always said that yes, this happens but it’s so insignificantly small that it’s not worth worrying about.

          So don’t worry about it.

          The judicial system isn’t based on belief, my guy. It’s based on evidence.

          You guys can’t rape a woman and expect to not go to jail! Enough!
