It's come to a point where my male friends have to check IDs to make sure she's telling the truth that she's over 18 [especially for freshmen], make sure she has consumed not a drop of alcohol, AND make sure that she won't regret it tomorrow. That's a burden, considering all those are things that SHE should control. I'm tired of hearing stories of men accused of "gray rape"; "I invited him into my room, we were making out and ended up having sex. I totally regret it! He raped me!" We shouldn't just assume that everyone who claims they were raped was, indeed, raped.
This stuff actually happens. And it's ridiculous. A false claim of rape, even if he's not convicted, can ruin a man's life. Ladies: would you REALLY trust someone if you found out that he'd been accused of rape, even if he had been proven innocent? I wouldn't.

I agree with what you're saying. A teacher in my high school retired early because of a false accusation of indecently touching a girl. He had been with the district for about 30 years and the girl was getting revenge on him because he disciplined her boyfriend.
BUT... your first paragraph is why many girls who really ARE raped won't report it. It's a sad, lose-lose situation.
