I think you should reread this OP and understand that asserting that "false claims of rape do happen" is precisely the red herring this OP seeks to address. It's time to stop trotting out this tired canard whenever anyone attempts to discuss rape and/or strategies to insure that rapists face consequences for their criminal assaults.
