*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 assertion 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.

I wonder if a 'gender studies' class would ever permit this material to be presented.

Only in the context of a "reassertion of the patriarchy."

The allegation in this video about 11yo Rylan Nitzschke appears to be false. That false story is everywhere. Here's the only real media report I found and that you can google:
Cash offered to boy who paid own support
LEHIGH, Iowa, Feb. 27 (UPI) -- Iowa officials attempting to seize a bank account to cover back child support payments instead seized the child's own money. The error involving Rylan Nitzschke, 11, occurred because the boy's father's name also is on the account.

You are correct, and I was going to make a note about it soon. Dr. Baskerville, while initially misreporting it to MND, corrects his error in his book "Taken Into Custody," in the chapter "Deadbeat Dads or Plundered Pops?,"
reporting it as an expropriation.
However, there are a lot of cases of boys statutorily raped that must pay child support. I was considering remaking this vid because of it, but I have already done so twice. So I think I'll just make a note on the side.

Though my saying it was 'false' was a little too strong, more like it was incomplete. And giving the author the benefit of the doubt, I suspect that was due to his reporting on the story before it had played out in its entirety, with the state correcting the error.
iamgoddard 2 years ago
I think you're right here, as well. The article referencing Rylan was posted in 2003, whereas Dr. Baskerville's book came out in 2007.
