While I applaud the passion, to effectively combat rape, you need to use your head more, and heart less.
of all rapes that are reported only 2% are false.
The study implied is 2-8% are proven false. Whereby a police department received a claim, and Unequivically proved that claim untrue. This does not include baseless claims, or those that were false, but not proven so. Thus, your use here is not applicable, as we are not in the domain of the Police departments. We are talking about the response of MSU rape counselers.
Moreover, the knowledge that 2% to 8%, is a figure should lead you to believe that:
1) jurisdiction matters and All politics are local (remains true no matter if whether the interlocutor is an individual or an entity).
2) The number of false claims must be higher than 8% when used in your instance.
3) Outside of the police department level (i.e. those where police are avoided) are where false claims are extremely damaging to the reduction of rape. So support should be provided to victim to report their incident to police, in a timely fasion.
2% are false. So in other words, 98% of all reported rapes are true.
No….. think about it.
Statistics show that only about 40% of rapes are reported and of all rapes that are reported
don't ever believe a “simple stat” that attempts to report the non-occurrence of something.
However, please do continue your anti-rape stance. Do so by making systems more robust.
Do you realize how difficult it is to even accuse someone of this crap?
True.
However, there is a sordid past. Unfortunately, this discussion could take years. I have the heart, but not the time.
So, perhaps you could look up Duluth Lynchings? Ida Wells?
Or in our schoolhouse theme
We used to introduce this sordid history in elementary school, with a novel called, To Kill a Mockingbird (Lee, Harper. To Kill a Mockingbird. lippincott, 1960).
The book uses a child's logic to in attempt to show the ridiculous nature of:
1) Racism.
2) Ableism.
3) Homophopibia.
4) Mob Justice.
5) Bullying.
6) Sexism.
7) and the importance of systems to combat these issues.
Unfortunately, Progressives teachers somehow could not understand Childish logic. So they made up there own, and you are stuck repeating that.
The reality is, for over 100 years, false rape claims have been a tactic used to murder numerous Black Men (and that's the short answer). So, “Cause and effect,” is not so cut and dry.
After recess, we can get into Why this:
And that's why women don't report...
creates a situation that would exasperate the incidence of non-reporting in our lecture on “Persuasive Communications.”
