>False accusations of sexual assault, by all indications, are rare, Personally I've seen just about as many false accusations as true ones. It's not always the woman that makes the accusation, some men use it to hurt other men they don't like.

How many false and true accusations have you seen? I'm close to 50, and I've personally never seen either.

  >How many false and true accusations have you seen? I've been accused by some random online that I never met. A friend of mine rejected a woman on okcupid, she then made accounts both in his name and various women's names on the former site 'cheaterville' and reported that he gave her multiple sexually transmitted diseases including HIV which cost him an acting job becuase it was the first thing that came up when you googled his name and despite he and I both having screenshots of this psychotic individual attacking him via multiple forms of communication threatening him if he wouldn't go out with her they said 'get it removed or we can't have you be part of the production'. A few years ago at my current employer a woman alleged I sent her all sorts of inappropriate text messages and provided screenshots. One problem, she used an iOS device and all of the messages allegedly from me, were in the color bubble of the recipient not the sender meaning she messaged herself then deleted the wrong color bubbles. So there's 3, 2 of them involving me, all in the past decade. Then Saturday on a friend's IG post about a candle sale at Bath & Body works I commented "Such a girl" a local newspaper reporter than replied to my comment: "Oh ZANG, you sure diminished her! Girls are stupid, with their genders and stuff, lol, amiright?!" To which I replied: "..." To which she replied: "Yes? I'm here." To which I replied: "there's something wrong with you. I made a simple comment a friend that I've known for 8 years post being playful. Not because I'm some woman shaming toxic card carrying member of hte patriarchy. Maybe try enjoying your life instead of lashing out at complete strangers on the internet there slugger" To which she replied: " Ah. Here, let me translate that for you: "I don't like being checked, so I'm going to gaslight and throw some phrases around to seem "woke" and then continue to diminish through patronizing name-calling". At which point I then contacted her immediate supervisor at her publication, his supervisor, the editor in chief as well as an employee of the parent company that owns the newspaper as this woman's IG profile starts "Downtown reporter at @newspapersheworksatsinstagram" as what she did is entirely uncalled for and not at all professional and if she's done this once, she's done it many times. So I have a local newspaper reporter putting words into my mouth, calling my character into question in a public forum, because I happen to have a penis and said 'such a girl' to a candle sale photograph on a post of someone that I've not only known for 8 years but have taken out several times over those years...

I've been falsely accused, as have the half the men I've ever heard this topic from, people I know personally. I'm in one of the big 3 tech cities.

This year I was falsely accused of stealing a girl's phone while in line for a dance club. A gaggle of probably-too-young girls started screaming about losing their phone, then they turned to me, who's alone in line, and loudly accuse me of stealing it. I screamed back at them and called them dumb, earning eyeballs from everyone around. After about a minute one of them finds their phone and they all just pretend like nothing happened. In an alternate universe, I was assaulted by the jocks in line who believe women first without evidence.
