This often weaponized “fact”... is wrong | HBR Talk 269

Honey Badger Radio - A podcast by Honey Badger Brigade

During the last 2 weeks we discussed an article highlighting the primary feminist response to female sexual misconduct perpetration against male victims: a population-wide DARVO attack in which the perpetrator’s agency is ignored or outright denied in order to shift guilt onto the victims of their crimes. That is one of many motivations and methods behind false allegations men face. Feminists like to claim that only 2% of rape allegations are false, but is that any more credible than the article we just finished? Rick Bradford of the Centre for Male Psychology looked into the credibility of that statistic, and we’re going to go over his report and discuss its implications, so that you will be aware of some information and arguments you should have on hand when feminists toss that 2% statistic at you.
