To be fair, that encompasses most on this board.

I just don't understand the concept of rape culture?

I don't buy into that nearly as much as others, but my concern is that false rape accusations are skewed by some high-profile cases that were indeed false. Anecdotal evidence is useless when evaluating individual cases, but people will bring up Duke LAX and the UVA case ad nauseam as if they represent the majority of rape accusations. For the skeptics, one false accusation is reason enough to be critical of 100 accusations.

SystemsGo is off the deep end in this thread, but there are many like him who share that same opinion.

I despise the fact that false accusations occur because they cast doubt on real victims. That doubt and fear that no one will believe you causes other victims to stay in the shadows instead of coming forward with actual rape claims. The people that jump to a conclusion one way or the other are a problem, but the idea that the validity of a claim can basically be represented by a coin flip is ridiculous.
