>From Wikipedia:

The FBI's 1996 Uniform Crime Report states that 8% of reports of
forcible rape were determined to be unfounded upon investigation [8],
but that percentage does not include cases where an accuser fails or
refuses to cooperate in an investigation, or drops the charges. Using a
similar methodology that does not include the accusers who drop out of
the justice process, a British study [9] on this issue found a false
reporting rate of 8% as well.

Feminism is the radical notion that women are people.
