by Connie Chastain*I mentioned in my first FRS essay that tracking down the origins of rape culture would comprise research for future essays.
I must confess, though, that I'm far less interested in researching the origins of rape culture, which I don't even believe exists, and more interested examining the primary motivation behind the claims for it, the same one that fuels feminism -- hatred of men.
Toward this end, I recently went through the web in search of feminist sites and blogs to help with my research. To my delight, I found much of my work already done for me.
Take Part, Inspiration to Action, , a website that encourages activism on left of center issues, has a list of "Top Ten Feminist Blogs," some of which the readers of The False Rape Sociey are no doubt familiar with.
The list was compiled two years ago by Bostonian Giulia Rozzi, who does not identify the criteria she used to choose these particular blogs, which is understandable when you think about it. Whim seems as acceptable a rationale for much feminist decision-making as objective standards do.
In any case, whatever Rozzi's criteria, the Top Ten Femnist Blogs are (if you're interested):
1. Feministing -
http://www.feministing.com/2. Feministe -
http://www.feministe.us/3. Our Bodies Our Blog -
http://www.ourbodiesourblog.org/4. Jezebel -
http://www.jezebel.com/5. Broadsheet (part of Salon.com) -
http://www.salon.com/mwt/broadsheet/6. Finally Feminism 101 -
http://finallyfeminism101.wordpress.com/7. Women in Media & News Blog -
http://www.wimnonline.org/WIMNsVoicesBlog/8. Holla Back NYC -
http://www.hollabacknyc.blogspot.com/9. MediaGirl -
http://www.mediagirl.org/10. Bitch Magazine -
http://bitchmagazine.org/blogsI haven't visited all of these blogs. In fact, I've hardly visited any of them to date. See, I have a really low threshold for feminist BS and can only take small, measured exposures to it at any given time. But I will visit them, looking for what they say about rape culture, and what they probably won't say, but may otherwise reveal, about the man-hatred that underlies such claims, for future essays, as promised.
Rozzi follows up her list with an acknowledgement that there are many more "fabulous female-focused blogs out there."
Imagine my surprise, then, when I discovered, quite by accident, that one of the most viscerally male-hating blogs I have ever encountered is run by ... a man. (Or so the blogger claims.) I'm speaking of "A Radical Profeminist."
The blog's banner sez, "This blog exists to challenge white heterosexual male supremacy as an institutionalized ideology and a systematized set of practices which are misogynistic, heterosexist, racist, genocidal, and ecocidal."
Oh, goody. Sounds like I've come to the right place. Anybody who has something to say about so many subjects based on man-hating and male-bashing will surely have comments on claims of rape culture and false rape accusations.
The problem, I discovered after a few minutes of looking around over there, is that the blogger, who claims his name is Julian Real, appears to be completely demented.
This guy concocts his own terminology that requires a fabricated glossary; he remains secure in his "radical profeminist" hatred of men (if they're white and hetero) by a commenting policy that allows no challenging opinions. His blog is stuffed like a turkey on Thankgsiving. Look down the right sidebar at all the links, labels and previous posts. Among them, you'll find Real's bio, which says he is disabled, which explains why he has so much time to create and then wallow in such hatred. Men (and women) who have to go to work and earn the money to put the 'taters on the table don't have time for such foolishness. (And this is no smear of the disabled, either. I've known numerous disabled folks who spent their time doing positive things.)
Demented or not, when I stumbled across the site, I was on a mission, so I stayed long enough to look for posts on rape culture. A search of the site using that terminology reveals eight pages of articles, the first one a movie review of The Karate Kid remake written by Malik Diamond, "hip-hop medicine man from the fifth dimension." (I'm not making this up.)
I have to say, after visiting Julian Real's little corner of cyber-insanity, it'll be a bit of a relief to get back to ordinary man-hating from, say, Michael Kimmel at Feministing. At least Mr. Kimmel's stuff reads like he was sober when he wrote it.
About the best thing I can say about Real's blog is that visiting it doesn't cause permanent brain damage.

The sexual grievance industry has managed to convince news outlets in the US, the UK, Australia and New Zealand -- and I am sure pretty much everywhere else, too -- that its representative are unbiased and objective when it comes to rape. Generally, they are not. They are "victims'" advocates whose livelihoods depend on convincing enough people that rape is a very serious problem. The following news story illustrates the dangers in believing unconditionally the purported factual assertions of such an advocate.
The Sexual Assault Response Services of Southern Maine is in the news in connection with a false rape claim. Before we discuss that news story, let's furnish a little backgrounds on SARSSM. Here is its Web site --
http://www.sarsonline.org/ -- don't trust what I'm about to tell you, check it out for yourself. Among many, many other things, SARSSM asserts the following:
"Consent is only possible when there is equal power." (What on earth does that mean? Since President Obama is widely considered the most powerful person on earth, is he committing rape every time he has sex with his wife? SARSSM has a handout on consent that would be hilarious if it were not so frightening -- judge for yourself,
here.)
"If someone gives you alcohol or drugs so they can have sex with you, that is a crime." (I am aware of no such crime. Are you? Loosening inhibitions with alcohol has been a mating practice for longer than anyone can remember. The "crime" aspect can occur only after a certain level of intoxication.)
Among actions that mean "no" is "Looking down." (Maybe the woman dropped something?)
"1 in 4 college women will be raped during their collegiate career." (Disproved over and over and over, yet repeated with the repitition of the jungle tom-tom.)
"Factoring in unreported rapes, about 6% - 1 out of 16 - of rapists will ever spend a day in jail. 15 out of 16 will walk free." (The implication is that every reported rape
and every unreported rape -- determined from who-knows-what -- was an actual rape. The absurdity of that assertion is self-evident.)
In sum, SARSSM is a worthy representative of the sexual grievance industry, which hardly ever met a rape claim it disbelieved. Now let's discuss the news story that features SARSSM.
On Wednesday of this week, it was reported that a 22-year-old woman -- and yes, I am going to name her -- Maryanne Morin -- was charged with filing a false report after she recanted her story about five men assaulting her on the popular running trail. The chief of police of police noted that "she was emotionally distraught" but correctly added: "There's no reason, I don't care what. There's no justifiable reason for her to make up a horrific incident like this."
Then the news report is padded with "information" obtained from a SARSSM representative, without challenge. "Falsifying an incident such as this could have a negative effect on sexual assault victims and those who help them, experts said."
Oh, gee, they forgot to mention that falsifying an incident like this could have an extremely negative effect on men and boys victimized by the lie. You know, having their lives destroyed and all that. But that's not even alluded to.
It goes on: "'It's frustrating. We do a lot to disperse the myths amid sexual assault. One of them being, that women cry rape, so we've worked hard to dispel that,' sexual assault response services worker Cyndi Amato said."
I'm sorry: it's a "myth" that women "cry rape"? That's not a myth. And it's not a myth that too many women
falsely cry rape.
"At the response center, advocates provide crisis counseling and help victims file police reports." Note that they only help "victims." So they don't help women who falsely accuse men and boys of rape? Somehow that surprises me.
"[O]ne false incident could discourage victims from speaking up in the future." Newsflash: if there were only
one false incident, that wouldn't discourage anyone from doing anything. The fact is, there are
countless false rape claims. While it can't be seriously be disputed that the frequency of false rape claims lowers the credibility of rape claimants, the extent to which legitimate victims are put-off from reporting by false claims has never been demonstrated, and it cannot be said with any assurance that any are put-off. One thing is for certain: false rape claims are not stopping false accusers from reporting, seemingly with increasing frequency.
Ms. Amato, the SARSSM representative quoted in the story, said: "I think it discourages people because somebody made a false report. 'When I go file, is that what they think I'm doing, too?' And I guess the message is, 'No, people will believe you.'"
Ms. Amato seems not concerned at all that believing a rape claim necessarily involves believing that the man or boy she accuses is
a rapist, without any due process.
The story continues: "Both the police department and Sexual Assault Response Services of Maine said it's very rare someone would falsify a report." (The
police actually believe that? Seriously? That does not comport with the beliefs of other police officers we've reported here.)
But here's the kicker:
"Amato said she's helped process thousands of sexual assault cases and has only encountered three that were made up."
Do the math on that. Susan Brownmiller's two percent canard was famously debunked. See, e.g.,
The Truth Behind Legal Dominance Feminism's 'Two Percent False Rape Claim' Figure, where Edward Greer painstakingly traced the two percent claim to its baseless origin, and "Until Proven Innocent," the widely praised (praised even by the New York Times, which the book skewers -- as well as almost every other major U.S. news source) and landmark study of the Duke Lacrosse non-rape case, where authors Stuart Taylor and Professor K.C. Johnson explain that the exact number of false claims is elusive but "[t]he standard assertion by feminists that only 2 percent" of sexual assault claims "are false, which traces to Susan Brownmiller's 1975 book 'Against Our Will,' is without empirical foundation and belied by a wealth of empirical data."
Yet this SARSSM representative says she's helped "thousands" -- presumably meaning at least 2,000 -- sexual assault victims and has only encountered three false claims.
Let that sink in: the assertion that two out of 100 was shown to be baseless, but a mainstream news outlet parrots, without challenge, the assertion that, in the experience of a sexual assault counselor involving at least 2,000 claims, only three were false.
How does Ms. Amato
know that only three were false? Seriously? Did she evaluate all the evidence? Did she question the alleged rapists in any of these claims to get
their side of the story? Or does she invariably follow her own advice to purported rape victims: "People will believe you"?
The fact that advocate organizations like SARSSM are cited as unbiased, impartial experts on rape with regularity by news outlets is troubling. These are advocate organizations whose livelihood depends on rape being perceived as a serious problem. I suspect that the news outlets don't even realize -- and worse, they don't care -- that they are being fed a diet of "information" that does not comport with respected, objectively verifiable sources.
The actual news story is after the jump:
Police, Community Stunned At False Rape Report
Experts Say Case Makes Situation Harder For Real Victims
PORTLAND, Maine -- Portland police still don't know why a 22-year-old woman made false allegations about a sexual assault at Back Cove.
Maryanne Morin, 22, of Portland, was charged with filing a false report, after she recanted her story about five men assaulting her on the popular running trail.
Morin recanting her story caused concern and even anger throughout the community.
Investigators still aren't releasing details about Morin, but said what she did was a waste of department resources and taxpayers money.
"She was emotionally distraught," Portland Police Chief James Craig said.
During an in-depth interview with police, investigators said Morin confessed she made up the story.
"There's no reason, I don't care what. There's no justifiable reason for her to make up a horrific incident like this," Craig said.
Falsifying an incident such as this could have a negative effect on sexual assault victims and those who help them, experts said.
"It's frustrating. We do a lot to disperse the myths amid sexual assault. One of them being, that women cry rape, so we've worked hard to dispel that," sexual assault response services worker Cyndi Amato said.
At the response center, advocates provide crisis counseling and help victims file police reports.
They said one false incident could discourage victims from speaking up in the future.
"I think it discourages people because somebody made a false report. 'When I go file, is that what they think I'm doing, too?' And I guess the message is, 'No, people will believe you,'" Amato said.
Both the police department and Sexual Assault Response Services of Maine said it's very rare someone would falsify a report.
In fact, Amato said she's helped process thousands of sexual assault cases and has only encountered three that were made up.

A SURBITON woman has been jailed after falsely accusing two men of raping her.
Eloise O'Donovan, 19, told police she was seriously sexually assaulted in Vale Road South, on July 26 last year. She identified the men, who were arrested, and officers from the Sapphire Unit started investigating the alleged attack.
But her lies soon unravelled and evidence against her version of events piled up, shifting the focus of the investigation on to her.
She was eventually arrested and pleaded guilty of attempting to pervert the course of justice at Kingston Crown Court on June 17. The teenager was sentenced to two years in prison.
Investigating officer DC Aine Matthews said: "We are committed to conducting professional and impartial investigations that seek the truth and ultimately bring those responsible to justice. Making a false allegation is a rare but serious criminal offence, which puts those who are falsely accused through a very emotional ordeal.
"Where there is evidence of false allegations, we will refer cases to the Crown Prosecution Service to decide whether a prosecution is in the public interest."

A reader of this blog posited an absolutely terrible idea:
". . . what do you all think about the 'Yes means Yes' concept where a couple does not proceed with relations unless/until BOTH parties have made it verbally clear they are interested in...whatever they're doing to do? That would go a long way to clearing out any confusion and making it clear when a boundary is being crossed. IMO, this is a much safer practice for the man to avoid any 'confusion.' I'm not disagreeing at all that the women (or any intruded on party) needs to make it clear she does NOT want sex, but ensuring both DO is even better."
Here is why this feminist attempt at social engineering is an awful idea, and an exercise in man-hating: virtually no one engages in sexual relations by asking for a verbal assent. Everyone knows that. This cockamamie idea would criminalize men, and men alone, for behaving the way people have found it acceptable to behave since the beginning of time.
If this were the law, young men would be sent to prison for many years, their lives destroyed, for engaging in sex
even after the woman clearly and unequivocally nods her approval and indicates beyond any doubt, but non-verbally, that she wants to have sex. Far fetched? If the law requires a verbal "yes" and no verbal "yes" was given, goodbye, Charlie. Ten years in prison for you. Your life is over. And if you are young and good looking, you stand a fairly good chance of being subjected to real rape (as opposed to this) in prison, repeatedly and for years.
This loopy plan is monstrously inhumane. It's been floating around in various forms for years, and I've even seen feminists explain that once this plan is enacted, yes, for a while, some young men who really thought they had procured the woman's consent will be sent to prison, but that's an acceptable price to pay to change the way young men in general behave.
As if there weren't infirmities galore with this idea to begin with, just consider this: it would tack on yet another "he said/she said" credibility question to an area already rife with them. That's all we need.
Spare me any further feminist "reforms." Every time they have a reform, innocent men and boys end up behind bars.

A woman who made a false rape claim to police cost taxpayers £15,000, a court heard yesterday.
Bernadette Core, 29, of Friarscroft Lane, Wymondham, admitted attempting to pervert the course of justice between October 2009 and February 2010 by making a false allegation of rape when she appeared at Norwich Crown Court.
The court heard that Norfolk police spent £15,000 on the investigation before establishing that she made up the incident.
The charge came after she made a 999 call to Norfolk police in the early hours of October 4 claiming she had been raped at an house in Norwich.
Two men were arrested and interviewed by police but further investigations established that no crime had taken place.
Her case was adjourned for reports and she is due to be sentenced on June 24. Judge Peter Jacobs said he wanted a victim impact statement and told Core that it was a serious offence.
Det Insp Debbie Gunnill, from the force's vulnerable persons directorate, said that is was a rare case. She added that it should not deter victims from reporting genuine rapes to the police.
She said; “Norfolk constabulary treats all reports of rapes seriously and all are investigated thoroughly. On rare occasions, evidence obtained during an investigation may suggest a false allegation, in these cases we carefully consider all the facts in conjunction with the Crown Prosecution Service to decide whether it is appropriate to take action against the individual. Decisions are taken on a case by case basis.
“We are very mindful that such cases as this can have a negative impact however I would like to give my reassurance that we are committed to giving victims of rape the best service we can and encourage any person who has been raped to come forward.”
The case comes as ministers prepare to grant men the same right of anonymity as their alleged victims.
The government plans to pass a bill changing the law which allows suspects' names, ages and addresses to be published while rape victims are granted lifelong anonymity.
It is believed that defendants will be named once they are convicted of rape or plead guilty to the offence.
It is hoped the new measures will prevent the false reporting of rapes and stop innocent men's names and reputations being tarnished by having their details revealed in the media.

There is a scene in Mel Brooks'
Blazing Saddles where Taggart (played by Slim Pickins), the stupid and cruel overseer of the construction of a new railroad, comes upon two black workers, Bart and Charlie, who are standing on a hand-cart that is fast sinking into quicksand. Much to the chagrin of the soon-to-drown men, Taggart throws a rope around the hand-cart and drags it -- but not the men -- out of the quicksand. "Dang, that was lucky," declares the much relieved Taggart, as the men struggle to keep from going under. "Doggone near lost a four hundred dollar handcar." (Of course, when Bart, played by Cleavon Little, extricates himself from the quicksand -- no thanks to Taggart -- he takes a shovel to Taggart's head.)
And that's how I feel every time I read a story about a false rape claim where a police officer elevates the police department's expenditure of time on a wild goose chase over the suffering of the innocent man or boy targeted by the rape lie. I could give you hundreds of examples of this over the past few years.
We need to start protesting such remarks by making our displeasure known to the police officer quoted, as well as to the newspaper where the quote appears. Aside from expressing an opinion that the far greater harm was to the innocent male and that it is grossly insensitive and unjust to think otherwise, it might also be pertinent, depending on the facts, to query why an innocent man or boy was arrested before a thorough investigation on the say-so of a lone accuser who turned out to be a liar? We might want to add that protection of the public from harm is no excuse to lock up a presumptively innocent male on the mere possibility that he might be a rapist. Police do have a duty to protect the public from harm, but that includes
protecting innocent men and boys from the harm that police do when they unjustly deprive the innocent of their liberty by acting as the unwitting instruments of false accusers.

A 26-year-old woman has been charged with making a false allegation that she was raped in a Surrey walkway.
Police launched an investigation after it received a report of a sex attack in the Borelli Walk area, off South Street, Farnham, in April.
A Farnham woman is due before Guildford magistrates on 30 June accused of perverting the course of justice.
Officers said a man arrested on suspicion of rape in April had been eliminated from their inquiries.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics gathers all manner of information, with varying levels of specificity, about every type of occupational injury imaginable. The title of this post is true. The government can tell you how many women in a select age group, on average, miss work due to carpal tunnel syndrome, and how many days they miss. Another government bureau keeps track of stats on every sort of traffic fatality imaginable. Another keeps track of the number of fatalities caused by cancer causing compounds in meat. And on and on it goes.
The government gathers this information because it is essential to understand the risk in order to be able to control it. If the risk rises to unacceptable levels, the government steps in and regulates the activity. Risk management is big business for private businesses -- McDonalds can tell you how many people are burned by its coffee every year -- and it is important public policy for government. It is crucial to know how dangerous a thing or an endeavor is -- whether it be the workplace, the Toyota Avalon we drive, the elevators we ride in at work, the air we breathe, the step ladder we climb on -- so that the risk of harm is kept at the acceptable threshold level.
If, for example, fatalities are three times more likely to occur from riding in a certain model and make vehicle than from riding in the average vehicle, that likely would play an important role in the government's or the manufacturer's decision to recall it. Short of a recall, it would be important to the decisions to buy, to insure, and to continue to manufacture that particular car. (Indeed, evidence that a manufacturer knew of an inordinate risk of a product but proceeded to sell it is often damaging evidence in a product liability trial.)
Yet, somehow -- incredibly -- we allow innocent men and boys to have their lives destroyed by being jailed and imprisoned for supposed rapes they didn't commit,
and no one can say with any level of confidence how frequently that occurs.
Worse, the government and the persons who control the public discourse on this issue, don't care about having an accurate picture.
The entire field has become so politicized that most of what is written about it is unreliable. Organizations such as NOW and RAINN rely on the U.S Department of Justice's National Crime Victimization Survey to insist that rape is rampant and largely underreported. What those organizations do not publicize is that this survey, conducted by in-person and telephone interviews, defines rape as follows: "Forced sexual intercourse including both psychological coercion as well as physical force. . . ." You need to scroll to page 131 out of 133 to find that definition. Putting aside other problems with the definition, "psychological coercion," of course, can mean all manner of things that are
not rape, including "I'll take your mother to the doctors tomorrow if you make love to me tonight."
All reliable indicators show that false rape claims are a significant problem. See, e.g., footnote one in
this post. But no one -- not RAINN, not NOW, and not the FBI -- knows how prevalent false rape claims are. Politicized representatives of the sexual grievance industry pretend to know, but they really don't. A leading feminist legal scholar recently acknowledged: ". . . the statistics on false rape accusation widely vary and 'as a scientific matter, the frequency of false rape complaints to police or other legal authorities remains unknown.'" A. Gruber,
Rape, Feminism, and the War on Crime, 84 Wash. L. Rev. 581, 595-600 (November 2009) (citation omitted).
Have you ever noticed that every time a feminist discusses false rape claims, she becomes an actuarial? False rape claims, she posits, are an acceptable risk because there are so few of them and because there are so many actual rapes -- especially of the unreported variety. "I'll start to become concerned about false rape claims," she gushes, "when false rape claims become half the problem rape is." Then she'll support her rant by trotting out statistics that are, again, wholly untrustworthy.
Mind you, many of the same people who are perfectly OK classifying even some innocent males as "acceptable risks" in the war on rape would be among the first to bellyache about "the greedy capitalists" if a manufacturer put a product in the stream of commerce knowing that even a few people would be injured by it.
But the false rape problem is being permitted to fester without regulation, and no one is stepping in to say that the risk has exceeded acceptable levels because no one, aside from a few of us, even wants to know how serious the risk is. Seriously, isn't it time to insist on an independent government panel to give an accurate picture of the false rape problem? A panel comprised of persons who are not connected in any way with the sexual grievance industry?
Instead, we are kowtowing to rape feminists. And they are content to cover their eyes to the risk. Let us be honest: they would insist that no matter how egregious the false rape epidemic, it will always be acceptable risk.

▲Imagine if a court convicted a black man of rape because he led his "victim" to believe he was white to gain her consent to have sex with him. The widespread outrage, even among progressives, would be wholly justified. Then consider that an Arab who had consensual sex with a woman who believed him to be Jewish was convicted yesterday of rape by deception and sentenced to 18 months in prison by the Jerusalem District Court. See
here.
▲A New Mexico mayor is going to trial for misdemeanor assault and battery stemming from a fistfight with the publisher of the local newspaper that arose from newspaper articles linking the mayor to the gang rape of a teenage girl in 1948 when he was 16 years old. The mayor denies the allegations. See
here. We don't know if the rape actually occurred, and we don't condone violence unless it is essential. We do note, however, that if a man resorts to fisticuffs to protect a woman from being raped, he's a hero. But if he resorts to fisticuffs to protect his good name and all that is important to him from a false rape claim, he's a criminal. We further note that society does essentially nothing to protect men from the harm of false rape claims.
▲Fun fact of the day: guess which reviled scholar is relied on in the Koss report? Yep. Studies by Prof. Eugene Kanin, who is widely attacked by rape feminists because of his landmark false rape studies, are cited as authoritative. Kanin's studies on male aggression and acquaintance rape in the 50s and 60s made him a pioneering feminist icon, a sociologist whose writings were quoted without question. Suddenly, however, Kanin became a nitwit who knew nothing about "methodology" (the favorite word of rape feminists when attacking Kanin) when he wrote his false rape claim report.
▲From the archives: Add Judge G. Michael Prall to the Misandry Hall of Fame. A teenage girl who admitted that her rape lie unjustly sent a teenage boy to a juvenile detention center for more than three months and caused him to lose a football scholarship to the high school he wanted to attend, was sentenced to probation. "Putting her into a detention facility with some hardcore delinquents is not the answer to the problem.
The main problem here is you have two children having sex," Prall told the girl. "This is an obvious reason why kids your age shouldn't do that. Save that activity for when you're older and get married." See
here
▲Ever wonder how the sexual grievance industry became institutionalized and so deeply embedded in our law enforcement apparatus? Ever wonder why Congress was hoodwinked by the prevarications and hysteria of rape advocates? As but one example, just look who testified at the VAWA hearings:
Mary Koss. You want to lose your breakfast? Read that article.
▲Here's a college girl who insists the word "rape" is being misused: "Some people have started using the term 'rape' to denote an egregiously bad, or inversely, extremely good outcome – e.g. that test 'raped' me or I 'raped' that test." She concludes: "Diluting an effect the word has on people’s consciousness may further skew a rape culture that often victimizes people who speak up for themselves/against their attackers." See
here. Of course, using the words "kill" and "murder" in a colloquial sense is perfectly OK, I am sure, because murder is not deserving of the solemnity of rape. I mean, murders in the inner city are not nearly as serious as the countless rapes on our college campuses that no one is reporting. I wonder if this college girl would support use of the term "second rape" to describe the rape "victim's" supposed experience when she reports rape. My guess is she'd be OK with that because that doesn't dilute the horror of the act, now does it?
▲Speaking of Prof. Kanin, I was recently viciously attacked on another forum for misrepresenting Kanin's false rape report (by someone who has never read the entire thing, I am quite certain): I discussed Kanin's study of the police records of two large Midwestern state universities which found false rape claims represented 50% of all forcible rape complaints. I was attacked because I pointed out that neither police agency employed the polygraph, and the person who attacked me wrongly insisted I was wrong. I was, of course, correct. (Kanin's study of the other police force that yielded 41% false claims is often attacked by rape feminists because that police force used polygraphs, which are verboten in VAWA-Land.)
