False rape allegations are a crime. But it would be better to say that the downside of being is male is that it appears they are more inclined to rape people. Because I guarantee if you if it were not for that little fact the allegation problem probably wouldn't exist.
- msandford 11y ago> But it would be better to say that the downside of being is male is that it appears they are more inclined to rape people. That's long been held to be obviously true. But a recent study shows that it may not be correct. http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2014/04/male_rape_in_america_a_new_study_reveals_that_men_are_sexually_assaulted.html http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2014/04/male_...
- cyphunk 11y agothe article is good read and I agree males are also victims. But the statistics on those perpetrating the crime (sexual assault or rape) are overwhelmingly male.
- Retric 11y agoIn the US males are both more likely to be the victim and more likely to be the perpetrator. In large part due to Prison but also younger victoms. Note: It's really hard to collect good population statistics, as victims often don't report things. And non-victims sometimes do.
- Karunamon 11y agoStatistically, yes. But stating that statistic is like stating the (also true) statistic that "black people commit statistically more violent crime" - it's worthless on its own, and is often a political dog whistle.
