The dating life

An study in Indiana established that 40% of rape charges were false accusations. Not unsubstantiated, false.

A study of rape allegations in Indiana over a nine-year period revealed that over 40% were shown to be false — not merely unproven. According to the author, “These false allegations appear to serve three major functions for the complainants: providing an alibi, seeking revenge, and obtaining sympathy and attention. False rape allegations are not the consequence of a gender-linked aberration, as frequently claimed, but reflect impulsive and desperate efforts to cope with personal and social stress situations.” ( Kanin EJ. Arch Sex Behav. 1994 Feb;23(1):81-92 False rape allegations. )

In 1985, a study of 556 rape allegations found that 27% accusers recanted when faced with a polygraph (which can be ordered in the military), and independent evaluation showed a false accusation rate of 60%. (McDowell, Charles P., Ph.D. “False Allegations.” Forensic Science Digest, (publication of the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations), Vol. 11, No. 4 (December 1985), p. 64.)

On the other side is that there are men who match their perjuring sisters for being pustules on the body of society. I know of one woman in her 50s who was "rufied" at a nice restaurant by a man in his late 50s, something that I thought was apocryphal, happened on television shows or among college students.

The Battle of the Sexes takes no prisoners, it seems.
