There's no compelling evidence that there is a 'high prevalence of false reports' in sexual crimes, unless you use different criteria for shoddy research for that. It's a compelling myth that men like to believe women lie about it - guess it's more comforting.
I think the kneejerk rejection of such issues is as sensationalist as the more extreme nit-picky forms of social awareness - the latter of which I tend to find almost always has a kernel of truth.
Man people really struggling with this concept? So many denials of racial aspects, that any accusation of racism has merit, hur-dur video games don't matter *plays 50 hours a week of games*. There was a clear racial/caste them in the image, and though it may not be what people assumed it was...
