How to Avoid False Accusations of Rape: Self-Defense in the Feminist State

by John Davis

This book contains a thorough discussion of the new "Affirmative Consent Laws." This book is a quick study for sexually active men, for men who are in constant contact with women in work or social environments, and, for men going to college. Studies indicate that over 60% of accusations of rape, that women make against men, are false. There are no known cases of men falsely accusing a woman of rape. Women make false accusations of rape against men most commonly for the following reasons: 1. To extort money from the man 2. To gain attention 3. Revenge 4. To coverup sexual activity with someone else The book is written by a noted former prosecutor who has prosecuted rape and sexual assault cases. It is designed to be a quick guide to inform men, and especially male college students, of the hazards of dating in an age of feminist rape hysteria. The book explores the current climate that encourages women to falsely accuse men of rape, and the dynamics which reward women for falsely accusing men of rape. The book offers some insightful and practical means of avoiding false accusations of rape for sexually active men of all ages.

This is part of my ‘banned books’ reading project. I acknowledge feeling guilt about even reading a book about false rape allegations (‘what do I have to hide?’). I have not been intimate with anyone other than my wife for 24 years. Why do I have I read about this topic. As a mental health clinician I am seeing a significant number of people (of whom are a small minority of women) who claim to have had false allegations made against them by women. I have seen how devastating the allegation itself is, with experience of significant shame. ‘How do I tell my wife/mother/daughter xyz made this allegation?’ Once disproved the problems of a person of re-entering the work place where they have been suspended from alongside their accuser. ‘How do I interact with colleagues, and not be at risk?’ It is devastating and there is no good defence, as these cases no natural justice applies and one is guilty until proven innocent in the court of human resources and the courts.

First question is this even a problem? Davis states, “Our research of government statistics indicates that the rate of false accusations of rape now exceed 60% of cases reported to law enforcement. This statistic is so hated by gynocentric groups, and misandrist groups, that the statistic is ‘shouted down’ in the media at every opportunity. Nevertheless, Uniform FBI Crime Reports show, as a hard statistic, that law enforcement determines 8% of rape claims, are false – law enforcement also determines that another 50% of rape claims are so meritless that they will not support the minimal requirements for an arrest” (p 10). Most allegations if not completely false, do not meet the minimum requirements for arrest. That is a big problem, and the lens through which you view it. Feminist groups want to make it easier to gain a conviction (through lowering the bar of evidence?) making it easier to find the innocent ‘guilty’.

Davis states the propensity for making false sexual allegations is exclusively female. “We were unable to find even one single case of a man falsely accusing a woman of rape. Falsely accusing some of rape is exclusively a crime committed by women and, is almost exclusively a crime committed against men” (p 11). An allegation is a tool to hurt someone that there is no good defence against. Reputation damage is a archetypal feminine form of aggression.

The use of a false allegation to gain advantage in the context of a divorce court is more common than legitimate allegations. Davis quotes, “The concept of ‘The Feminist State’ first arose in an excellent law review article by law professor Linda Kelly in the Florida State University Law Review (2003).

Professor Kelly authoritatively, and eloquently, lays out the vulnerability that Fathers have to false accusations of rape, child molesting (and domestic violence in general). She aptly notes that up to 81% of accusations of rape, child molesting or domestic violence in divorce courts, that are made by women, are false” (p 27). If correct, why is this not well know? Should the public be made aware that 81% allegations in this context are false. I can only assume they are found to be false after the decision has been made. We clearly need better laws and consequences for making false allegations.

Davis discussed rape fantasies in women. “Dr. Jenni Bivona, PhD., of the University of North Texas has conducted extensive research on the ‘taboo’ subject of women’s rape fantasies. Her doctoral dissertation on the subject has drawn wide acclaim for academics and scientists.


What Dr Bivona has discovered (150 years after Sigmund Freud made the same discovery), is that women routinely fantasize about being raped. Dr Bivona’s quantitative studies indicate at least sixty percent of women fantasize about being raped at least once a month” (p 42). This one I was more unsure about. As a clinician I would ask what is a fantasy? I asked Chat GPT how she meant this:

“Dr. Jenny M. Bivona defines a sexual fantasy as any conscious mental imagery or daydream that includes sexual activity or is sexually arousing. These fantasies are acts of imagination rather than direct observations of external events or thoughts directed at solving a problem. They can range from elaborate stories to fleeting thoughts, involve memories of past events or be entirely imagined, and occur intentionally, spontaneously, or be stimulated by other events. Importantly, the term "fantasy" does not necessarily imply a desired experience or a pleasurable event.

Within this framework, Dr. Bivona categorizes rape fantasies as a subset of sexual fantasies that reflect the legal definitions of rape and sexual assault. She acknowledges that the term "rape fantasy" can be misleading, as it may connote a realistic depiction of violent stranger rape, which is not typical of most actual rapes. Moreover, many rape fantasies are not realistic and may not be desired experiences.

Dr. Bivona's research emphasizes that rape fantasies exist on an erotic–aversive continuum, with some being completely erotic, some entirely aversive, and others containing both elements. This nuanced understanding highlights the complexity of human sexual fantasies and the importance of distinguishing between fantasy and real-life desires or experiences”.

This made sense to me as a clinician. We all have a lot of fantasies as we go about our day and should not be judged (or judge ourselves) because of them. Just because we fantasise about something, anything, does not mean we have any desire to do it or want it to happen to us.

Davis primary advice (to avoid a false allegation) was ‘partner selection’. Men need to be more judicious about who they share physical and emotional intimacy with. They need to seek high value women with mental stability who do not seek drama. The sex may be great with an unstable woman and if it ends poorly it holds great risk to their reputation. Men have to aware of this risk to their reputation and how damaging a false allegation can be. I feel we have upended the consequences of sexual risk and that men now hold the most risk if a dispute over unmet expectations arises. The Mike Pense rule of never being alone with a woman who is not your wife and not drinking alcohol at social occasions with woman (who are not your wife) appears sage.

Davis suggested we need to stop the state compensating alleged or actual victims in making accusations. If any compensation is paid it should be a civil matter directed at the alleged perpetrator with the state not offering compensation.

Rape is a dark subject and even contemplating it brings feelings of ‘taboo’. It is also a natural phenomena (read Craig Thornhill – A Natural History of Rape) found in many species, including our own. It makes evolutionary sense from a parasitic biological point of view, and this does not justify it morally or legally as we know how damaging taking from a female the choice of who she combines her genes with. There is a reason it is taboo. Given this taboo, we should be doing more to protect men from a claim of rape being made against them, given the real damage a false claim can have. Given our current protections for men appear grossly inadequate, it is incumbent on men to protect themselves. The best way to do this is forming long term monogamous relationships with high value women and avoiding who those who have cluster ‘B’ personality types (unless they are actively seeking treatment such as Dialectical Behavioural Therapy).
