ahhhh.. the good ol Kanin article that is trotted out by mens-rights activists.

Look, I am not saying the correct number is 2%, I am just saying that article is dubious at best.

Try this one for size:

quote:
They stated, "Every year since 1989, in about 25 percent of the sexual assault cases referred to the FBI where results could be obtained, the primary suspect has been excluded by forensic DNA testing. Specifically, FBI officials report that out of roughly 10,000 sexual assault cases since 1989, about 2,000 tests have been inconclusive, about 2,000 tests have excluded the primary suspect, and about 6,000 have "matched" or included the primary suspect."

The authors continued, "these percentages have remained constant for 7 years, and the National Institute of Justice's informal survey of private laboratories reveals a strikingly similar 26 percent exclusion rate."

And that's full blown DNA exclusion. So kindly bump that number and then give Mr. Kanin a call and apologize for your unkind words.

I never apologize to folks for generalizing based on a small sample size in an unrepresentative sample pool.

20% of text excluded the primary suspect, so you attribute that to false allegations? I know this may be news to you, but not every victim knows who raped them. The fact that DNA excludes the primary suspect =/= "every other time a bitch claims she got raped, she's just outright lying."

Even if we concede all of your made-up, pulled out of your arse numbers, you're still acknowledging the fact that 60-75% (likely much more) of cases are NOT made up. They're legitimate claims that may or may not be proven in court. At worst, the majority of claims by these "bitches" are legitimate, yet you still have the attitude you do.

I still can't get over the fact that you typed this out and truly believe it:
