"It is absurd to contend that vice, ecstasy, and passion would become impossible if man and woman were concretely peers" (xiii). ~ Simone de Beauvoir
THE CONSPIRACY AGAINST MEN
She starts by looking at the 8% of sexual assault reports that have been classified as false based on a police officer's personal judgment.
"Police officers were inclined to consider a report false if there hadn't been a physical struggle, if no weapon had been involved, or if the accuser had had a prior relationship with the accused. [Of the suspected false reports] none resulted in wrongful conviction. . . . Nonetheless, a false rape accusation, like a plane crash, is an objectively unusual event that occupies an outsized place in the public imagination. why then does it carry its cultural charge? . . . Many, perhaps most, wrongful convictions of rape result from false accusations levied against men by other men: by cops and prosecutors, overwhelmingly male, intent on pinning an actual rape on the wrong suspect. . . . Over half of their cases involved 'official misconduct'" (3-4).
