> When women can make their own money and can have sex to meet their own sexual needs, we might see frivolous accusations of rape to preserve female pretense of chastity and virtue go way down.
Researchers commonly test such theories by comparing countries where earnings and minimal standards are different. The common result in gender studies is the gender equality paradox, so I would expect more gold digging and false accusations in places with more equal wages.
One theory to explain that is that when gender equality goes up you also get a corresponding increase in gender expression. If everyone earn enough money on the own then men is recognized by society as men only if they earn a lot of money. It is not enough to simply have enough money.
In order to move beyond that we would need as a society to dissociate wealth with gender identity and then we are no longer talking about minimal standards, wages or employment rates.
