Should people go to prison for filing false rape cases?

There are currently 2.3 million people incarcerated in the USA.
21.5% (494,500) are pre-trial detainees.
8.8% (202,400) are women.
That leaves 1.6 million convicted, incarcerated, men.
...and you think "hundreds of thousands or maybe even millions" of them are innocent?
Do you really believe we have an overall (on ALL crimes) false conviction rate approaching 50%? Really?

I've Seen Things You People Wouldn't Believe
'It wasn't my fault that I forced my penis into her, officer. She was wearing a short skirt and a low-cut top, how could I resist?'
Yeah. Right.
Yeah. Right.
Crime stats are apparently not to be believed because they are invented by misandrists apparently.
Man, BR is one of those few guys who will make me just cast aside some of the respect and common decency I usually treat others with. Makes me hate myself
I feel ya. When I have to make an effort to bite my tongue, its time for me to leave the conversation. Or, in this case, make use of the sites rarely used features.
The only other poster on Talkbass who has driven me to frustration was bluewine, who I actually liked.
It was just absolutely impossible for him to understand that things can successfully be done in a manner different from how he has successfully done them.
For some people, their way is the only way, even if your way works better for you.

Something Borderline Offensive
Why would you do such a thing? You should report your crime and get a first hand journey through that Kafkaesque land known as justice.
Actually I may be wrong but this site might have a requirement to report an online confession like this.
Really?
I use mine quite healthily. One guy doesn't shut up about Ampeg all the time? Block him! Some guy won't let a discussion hold that wood maybe doesn't influence the tone of an instrument then pretends to be the victim all the time? Block him!
It is great! It makes this forum more manageable.
What if he is actually the women in his avatar? Just with a terrible case of Stockholm Syndrome?
No, they are "innocent until proven guilty" - and they are awaiting their turn in the judicial system.
I honestly forget that it's there most of the time. Over the years, there are only maybe two or three posters on Talkbass whom I can actually say that I personally disliked (and even despite my ribbing of TwoFingers in his Signing Off thread, I actually liked him...I just thought he was grossly ignorant about a lot of things he claimed authority on). At the end of the day, it's words on a screen for me; I probably get more riled up over annoying stuff that comes across my Facebook feed since I know most of those people personally.
Yes, technically innocent until proven guilty. That's why they weren't included in aborgman's figure of 1.6 million convicted, incarcerated men.
Ha, didn't Marley make a thread with a link to an MRA who was female? She was basically the gender studies equivalent to Uncle Rukus from The Boondocks.
Yeah. Of course the idea was it must be true since a woman said men were oppressed.
Have you seen that black republican intern that goes on about how slavery was good and flies the stars and bars? I'll have to find it when I'm on my computer, I just hope it is next level trolling
