*False allegations are also documented as having been used against women in custody battles, but to a much smaller degree, for three reasons:
1. There are a host of anti-male domestic violence programs and laws.
2. Women are the primary initiators of divorce (I’ve seen two stats: 66% and 75%), and thus more likely to make the allegation upon separation.
3. Women are much more likely to be believed.
Lack of court-enforced visitation affects women as well as men!
Other issues not covered in this video:
1. Sexual harassment - see Thugt1cian’s video on it:

2. Paternity leave
3. Social liberation from sole role of primary breadwinner

iFeminists on false rape allegations:

You may be familiar with an 9% stat; this was part of a study conducted by the FBI that only included how many accusers dropped the allegations, and did not include how many men were found innocent. You may be familiar with a 2% false rape allegation stat. This was popularized by Susan Brownmiller in her book “Against Our Will,” but was not based upon any empirical study, but upon the long-held feminist ertion that “women don’t lie about sexual abuse.” The 40% false rape allegation stat comes from a study by Dr. Eugene Kanin and included both the number of dropped charges and the men who were found innocent, but her methodology only contained a pool of roughly 100 people. The 60% false rape allegation stat comes from a study by the U.S. Dept. of Special Investigations; its methodology included 556 people, was reviewed by 3 independent reviewers, and the resulting stat of 60% was compared to numerous police precincts around the U.S. See “The Myth of Male Power,” chapter 14: The Politics of Rape, for more.
