On false rape accusations

Do men live every day of their lives with a background level of fear that they will be falsely accused of rape? Are they taught from a young age how to avoid "misleading" behavior or "miscommunication" that may lead to being falsely accused of rape? When they start talking to a woman at a party or bar do they worry that the presence of alcohol may make them liable to being falsely accused of rape? When they go out, do they have an unspoken agreement with their friends to keep an eye out for each other, in case it seems like they might be falsely accused of rape? Do they avoid being alone with a woman in their apartment or dorm room, lest they be falsely accused of rape? Do they fear their own wives, girlfriends, friends, classmates, coworkers, unsure if someone they trusted might one day falsely accuse them of rape? Knowing that their prior relationship would implicate them in the eyes of many? 

No? Then shut the fuck up about false rape accusations.
