No, I merely pointed out that there are plenty of rape cases that are real and that pretending that the majority of rape cases are faked is not exactly realistic.
Rape is a tough thing to confront, even if it is real and there are a very large number of rape cases that are never even brought to the stage of accusation.
True rape cases also have many instances where charges are dropped or where the accuser will not cooperate with the police because it is simply too painful.
I'm not disputing that "most" is unproven. I'm just pointing out your appeal to emotion.
At least 1 in 10 rape accusers are liars. Pointing out this fact does not do a disservice to actual rape victims. It simply gives us a prior for determining whether these women are actually rape victims.
(I.e., before knowing any facts about this case, we can conclude that a rape accuser is 92% likely to deserve sympathy and 8% likely to deserve jail time.)
