Ask MANN: Why do Women Make False Rape Accusations?

Posting the previous story reminded me of a submission I've been meaning to post here for weeks: An Anonymous User writes, "I was discussing the issue of false rape allegations with a group of feminists and of course I was very quickly shouted down. I tried to look up articles here that have to do with men being freed from
prison after DNA evidence proves their innocence. I do not know the
details of these cases. However, [the feminists] insisted quite
vigorously that all cases of men being freed were NOT for false rape
accusations but for mistaken identity. They seem to believe that women never lie about being raped." In addition to our previous article, can anyone point this person to more examples of false rape accusations for reasons other than mistaken identity?Following Slashdot's lead, we've decided to add a new type of news story to post. "Ask MANN" will include interesting or relevant questions to direct to the activist community, which might include helping a person with men's issues research or advice on a question we as a movement should address. Look for more "Ask MANN" posts in the future!
