And, of course, the one in four standard is unsupportable even by the governement study that off-handedly tossed off this lie.

Let’s not forget that upwards of half of all women who claim to have been raped lie about it. So if all men are potential rapists, all women are potential liars about rape. That is fact. In “Until Proven Innocent,” the widely praised (even by the New York Times, which the book skewers) and painstaking study of the Duke Lacrosse non-rape case, Stuart Taylor and Prof. K.C. Johnson explain that “[t]he standard assertion by feminists that only 2 percent of rape claims are false, which traces to Susan Brownmiller’s 1975 book Against Our Will, is without empirical foundation and belied by a wealth of empirical data. These data suggest that at least 9 percent and probably closer to half of all rape claims are false.” The authors methodically examine the evidence to reach this conclusion.
