I think I made my objections to a lack of evidence being cause for a jail sentence (or other punishments) fairly clear.
I'd like to see equivalent punishments where a deliberate false acusation is proven but I suspect that would be a very rare ocurrance. Rather I'd like to see a shift in what appears to be an acceptance that false allegations are some kind of legitimate tool to get at somebody. I guess you think that won't happen, I have a different view. It's currently hard to prove either way.
You may notice that the links I post are not generally to mens sites, I go to government or university sites where I can. Exception are when I want a specific piece of text (or to give credit to a source such as at the start of this thread). I generally express reservations if I hold them - did you notice comments I have made elsewhere about Farrells writing?
Have a check of the articles I referenced in my post http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=416#8099
- mens sites?
I strongly believe that false accusations can be just as harmful as rapes (depending on the severity of the rape and the resources the person has to deal with either). As to the frequency of false accusations and other issues I'm still trying to work through the spin to understand the issue.
