Myth #6: I heard that women try to get revenge on men by falsely accusing them of rape.

Fact: According to the FBI, women falsely accuse men of rape about as often as people falsely report any other crime—between 1 to 2% t of the time. It is such an ordeal for a woman to go through reporting an assault, having a trial, and dealing with unsupportive friends and family that women have little or nothing to gain from falsely accusing a man of rape.
