How common are false allegations?
Episode description
In the wake of another powerful man being accused of sexual violence, the usual pattern of warnings from men to other men about the prevalence of false allegations has reared its head. Therefore, in an impromptu discussion, Alieen and Dan discuss how common false allegations of sexual violence against men are, what consequences this narrative of false allegations has for victims of sexual violence, and how much these kinds of allegations ruin men's lives.
