I'm not doing that and I completely agree: I will happily go on record to say that you never said, implied or meant that they should be disregarded.

Assuming this is true, I'm still left wondering if a number 26 can or cannot be introduced into the list of rape culture you posted earlier, that number 26 being "that there may be a tendency to believe an allegation with no evidence to show for it."

Sure but you realize that those are a small fraction compared to those tendencies to not believe an assault happened, right?  I mean I just save dozens of statistics, reports and surveys to back that up. 

 

OK, stop.  Let's all just stop.  Nobody is saying false accusations are not a problem or that they are often believed on the basis of accusation alone.  These are a problem.  They happen.  They should be addressed and dealt with. Especially if the accuser does so with mal intent. But they are a damn molehill compared to the far bigger problem women face and we are being absolute assholes to those women who have to strategize their entire life around the potential for rape so that we can say "but we get falsely accused too." 

When you get me numbers of false accusations that challenge and rival these, then we can add them to the list of rape culture problems.  Until then, no.  

I'm not worried about being falsely accused of rape.  Why should I?  There is not data to back up a culture of false rape accusations.

"They happen.  They should be addressed and dealt with."

I'm trying to but asking for the 26th spot in a list as long as 25 is apparently asking too much.

Btw, I noticed number 18 is dedicated to "Reddit threads dedicated to men causing women pain during sex (I’m not going to give the thread credence by linking to it)."

What percentage of Reddit threads does this one thread ("the thread" implying one thread) make up within all of the Reddit website?

According to http://redditmetrics.com/history , there's over 1.2 million subreddits.

I'm not too familiar with Reddit but I understand each subreddit has one or more threads within it.
