I am not condoning false allegations by any means, but it seems to me that the sexual mistreatment of women by men, past and present, can breed a lot of resentment in women.

Not to the extent they'd like to see an innocent mail jailed, and put it down to "what comes around, goes around", surely? Women should be resentful of other women who falsely accuse, and thereby weaken the cases of genuine victims.
