a claim that very few women would make false reports is entirely consistent with the possibility that a substantial fraction of rape reports being false.

Indeed. A “substantial fraction” of next to nothing. Most rapes are not reported or investigated, at least in part because of attitudes like Mac Donald’s. And of the 75% that are not false, only five per cent result in a convicton.

Men are therefore getting away with rape on a huge scale. False accusations resulting in a prison sentence, as opposed to high profile one-offs that never even came to trial? Name one.
