4. The crime of rape vastly outnumbers the crime of false reporting of rapes

Please go to the original link and read it. Here are other links I found through that link that are also helpful.

How about a proportionate response from everyone? Statistics differ, and have many problems (e.g. see the link), but saying that 5% of rapes are false reports is at the high end of the statistical ranges I have seen. So, how about people only talk, post, or try to do something about false reports of rape once for every 19 times they talk, post, or try to do something about rape itself. Deal?

I look forward to your next 19 posts.
