logic by men talking about rape/10
Men are who should be talking about rape, we are the primary cause and only a man can be in control of his own choices and take responsibility for them. What do you take us for, women?

Plus we don't even see the amount of rapes that did happen that are not reported at all. In a quick Google search I'm getting figures of 50 to 60% of rapes going unreported. 90+% of rapists who never see a day in jail. Considering how rape can break a woman's psyche, I'd hope the MRA's in here would defend those women too.
To get a good understanding of the data you need the whole picture.
With incomplete figures on rape there's no way to calculate all the false claims of rape being made outside of law either, lives being destroyed without anyway to take a defense. I expect most to be affected negatively by involuntary submitting themselves to intercourse from another but don't pretend that trying to point out that we don't have the whole picture because there is no way to obtain complete data on the subject is somehow undermining any woman's suffering after they've been raped, assuming it wasn't just some girl drinking too much and waking up with regret in the morning, discussing the varying definitions of what it means to be raped is part of determining the data to consider and that can't go unignored with the recent moves to expand the meaning and use of the word.

Then don't try and pretend one problem occurs more than another problem (false rape reports vs. false assault/robbery/homicide/etc. reports) and make it out to be some kind of epidemic.
You guys would have an actual point if false rape accusations occurred more frequently than false reports of other crimes. But they don't occur at any rate even resembling a significant number. All you're doing is perpetuating an environment where rape survivors aren't taken seriously due to the type of crime committed. It's no wonder so many rapes go unreported, nevermind getting a conviction for a person who's extremely dangerous to society.
If you really care about this issue, then you'd care about how many false reports of robbery and whatnot go on. As it stands, I'll repeat myself in saying this is an MRA circle jerk.
False rape, just like rape, isn't an epidemic or something anyone should have to live in fear of. Outside of institutionalized or even military life, we don't live in a rape culture like our prisoners have to endure, it doesn't mean we can't have a discussion about those affected and potential solutions for minimizing it. All the equalist filth, MRAs and feminists, trying to account for differences between the sexes and relying on double-standards to make their points are wasting their time with the excessive labeling, naming, and shaming game, which goes to prove that they care more about maintaining their group identity than approaching this honestly.
