I agree. It is yet another contribution to the hysteria about sex. They also harm victims of actual rape by creating doubt in reasonable people's minds about ANY rape claim. Another relevant, and related point though, is that people who keep insisting, in the face of well-supported arguments to the contrary, that false rape accusations are higher than they actually are, are in effect doing the same thing the feminazis do when they claim that false rape accusations are lower than they actually are. Claiming artificially high/low levels of false rape accusations causes some percentage of people, when they discover the deception, to stop paying attention to the debate alltogether. The less certain people are of what the real data is, the less likely they are to care at all.

Oh, I emphatically disagree. The only possible mitigating circumstance for such an act is mental illness (and I'm not just talking about depression). I don't believe that women who do this are just dumb. I believe that they are liars, that they are likely people who can not be trusted in many other situations because of their lack of maturity and responsibility, AND that they are ignorant, in bad circumstances, etc. I guess I'm saying that you shouldn't insult all the good, honest poor people who, even if backed into a corner, would never falsely accuse a person of anything, much less rape, by claim poverty and bad circumstances are sufficient explanation for such accusations.
