Also, comparing the trauma of being falsely accused of rape to the "trauma" of being parted from your phone is so disingenuous it made me laugh. Firstly because it's not about being separated from your phone, it's about your privacy being invaded (quite a valid comparison to the act of rape itself tbh), women lying about rape is such a small minority that the vast majority of these women will be going through the trauma of having been raped and then the trauma of having their privacy invaded further.

Such bollocks the entire write up.

All this focus on the "tiny minority of deceitful manipulative females" but nothing about the "overwhelming majority of cases of actual rape". Piss poor journalism.

In 2017/18 there were 53,977 rapes recorded by the Police. That's more than 1600 men falsely accused in that year. That's not an insignificant number.
