Your second point, I think, too easily dismisses the fears men have.
Lacking evidence which suggests the guilty party, we are left to our own natural sympathies. Women may have more sympathy for the narrative of a woman assaulted, men may identify more with the story of a man falsely accused.
These are both perfectly natural responses, as long as we recognize our personal biases, and can accept evidence which contradicts them when it becomes available. I can't see how it is productive to undermine either point of view: they are both legitimate emotional responses.
