As someone who was falsely accused and had to go thru the process to be proven innocent, this entire post is the reason why it was guilty until proven innocent. I had been accused, stalked, and dealt with police and courts because of people like this
When a man says he’s scared of being falsely accused I automatically assume he’s done some shit that can be considered assault and is scared of being called out. You are SIGNIFICANTLY more likely to be raped than you are to be falsely accused.

I see both sides of this tbh. You are more likely to be SAed than falsely accused BUT having to deal with a false accusation is a horrible experience. Though I’d argue having trauma from actually having that experience is different than constantly telling people you worry you COULD have it. The former is an understandable mental health issue. The latter speaks to a larger disconnect between ppl who think they’re “safe” from assault and the people who’ve been assaulted at best.

Oh I absolutely agree - I just wanted to point out that dangerous way of thinking by not believing people when it actually does happen
