Check this out: a feminist/liberal blogger, Josh Marshall from Talking Points Memo, recognizes the existence of false allegations of rape as a result of surveillance footage which appears to exonerate the accused.

Of course, the blogger's real motivation for this concession is not to issue a "mea culpa" of the feminist tendency to give unjustified weight to all rape allegations. Rather, it is an attempt by a left-winger to belittle and neutralize a right-wing ideological opponent. The alleged rapist is a local political operative in the Republican Party, and the accuser is a gay man from a local college fraternity. Bizarre would be a word that applies, because in this case we're talking about false rape allegations following taped gay sex.

But I nevertheless call "amazing" the concession -- by a feminist -- that rape is too easy an alligation to make, disproved only through incontrovertible evidence (like surveillance, which we at DontMakeHerMad.com have long advocated to thwart false allegations of domestic violence).

Here is the video.



One final note. The above video mentions the strong possibility that the false accuser will be prosecuted for lying to police. Of course he'll be prosecuted for lying to police; after all, he is a man.
