Letter: Better a false accusal than a rape

Letter here. Excerpt:

'As many of this states' students return to their college campuses this week, many men leave the safety of their homes to enter into a world where they could be falsely accused of rape.

As I return to my college campus, I envy the luxury of these men. If the gravest danger I faced in this world was being falsely accused of rape, I would consider myself lucky. I would be much more fortunate than the countless women who have "walk me home apps" downloaded on their phones as a security blanket for any time they go out after dark. I downloaded one after a stranger attacked a classmate right outside my dorm last September.

I would consider myself luckier than the one in five college freshmen who will be sexually assaulted before they graduate. And if the greatest danger I faced in this world was someone falsely accusing me of rape for attention or one of the countless other denunciations I've heard, I would still never blame the victim.'
