I think innocent men are victimised because the truth is that there ARE men out there who are sexual predators and the truth of the matter is that there are more men out there who rape women, than women who 'cry wolf'. Of course I think it's very wrong to frame somebody for a crime, but especially a sex crime.

The truth of it is that because women have always been regarded as the 'weaker' gender, society usually sides with them.

The big problem is getting the right middle ground. Get the wrong man and the whole "Van Persie" arguement comes up, an innocent man framed for a terrible crime, stuck with a reputation and thrown in prison. But if on the other hand its a "don't bin them until its proved" thing, then you might have a potential rapist running around continuing what hes doing while people look for conclusive proof to stick him away.

Its no easy thing, but at the moment, the safest option by far is to stick them away until its proved they DIDN'T do it. That doesn't help any falsely accused poor sod who gets framed though.
