>>We are wasting so much human potential because the default assumption when a woman says she was attacked is that she's lying.

>An investigation must occur to determine if it actually happened. Problem is there are examples of women who lied and caused harm to the accused man. Years ago a very promising football player out west was accused of raping a woman -- she accused him, he was convicted, and sent to jail. Years later, when his potential for a professional football career was over, it was determined that the women had lied and he never actually touched the woman (she wanted revenge because he did not return her advances to him). He was let out of jail and nothing done to the women for lying. Then there was the Duke U. team that was accused of gang raping a woman -- the young men all faced hardships during the trial. It was later determined that she had lied and was never sexually touched.

>I want the full investigation to occur. It must be proved. Any women can accuse any man that they happen to come in contact with. Actual rape must be proved. And I agree -- men are not raped by women (at least they would most likely not admit it) but they can be raped by other men.

No problem with doing good investigations, but all existing research says that very few accusations are false, but also that very few rapists ever pay for their crimes.
