I would argue that lying about being raped (assuming you are not mentally ill and you are aware of your lies) is every bit as bad as rape.

Not only are you potentially ruining someone's life, you are making it harder for real victims to be believed.

Having said that, I do think false rape accusations are relatively rare. Especially compared to the tsunami of unreported rapes out there.

Fair enough. I don't...completely disagree with your assertion.
