It seems to be the "in thing" nowadays for woman to accuse men of sexual crimes. It has gotten to be almost like a modern fashion. It is the "In Thing" to do. It gets the woman attention and sympathy she could never get in any other way--especially for ugly, fat women. Even one of the founders of Category Theory had to go through this. Also John Searle. There just does not seem to be any down side of making false accusations.
[When was the last time you heard about an attractive female making accusations? Can't remember? Neither can I. Making false accusations is what ugly women do nowadays instead of raising cats.]
For women, there seems to be nothing to lose. They either are believed and gain money, power sympathy. Or else they don't. But there is (in their view) no loss involved. Their reputation never gets tainted. And the person they accuse, never really gets free of it because in the back of people's mind there is always that sneaking suspicion ""Just maybe.." [I should add that there is a down side to making false accusations that they are not aware of. יש דין ויש דיין. There will be a day of judgement.]
In England there is a down side to be making false accusations-- for then the lawyer fees are reversed. It seems to me that this would be a good policy to implement in the USA and Israel also.
[This is not my original idea. I saw this a few years ago on the internet that someone suggested this remedy.]
I think a lot of this has to do with the general mentality. Women thought they could do this because in the USA, there used to be an implicit assumption that women are righteous and men are jerks. So women felt all they needed to do was to say a false statement about some guy they did not like, and that would be accepted as evidence. And in fact in the USA, that is exactly what happened. Nowadays this phenomenon is less common since police are looking for actual evidence--not simply accusations by fat, stupid, hysterical women.
