I think the article James posted goes along with the concept that children never lie about sexual abuse. That's been proven to be false. If they're led enough by an adult and rewarded for saying abuse has happened, they will. If you come home from a party and your mom's freaking out, it's far easier to tell her you were raped and get yourself off the hook. If you make her believe you've already been "punished" she won't punish you. If you do something stupid and wish you hadn't, and someone says "OMG, it sounds like you were raped" it takes the responsibility off you.

And it referenced The Morning After - please, please, please, if you haven't read this book and also Who Stole Feminism, do so yesterday.
