  • Being raped is far far worse , because your actually gonna suffer ptsd for the rest of your life

    Being falsely accused of rape , might cause you to loose everything but you can regain them back with time

    Between being raped and falsely accepted of rape

    Being raped is much worse for men

    • I meant falsely accuses

    • "Accused " damn auto correct

  • Probably getting raped.

  • Both are terrible in their own way.
    Both are innocent.
    Both have to suffer from some else's actions.
    Both have long term damages.

    I wouldn't choose one to another.

  • falsely being accused of rape, because that can last way longer.

  • That's a hard question to answer as one leaves you mentally scarred for life and the other ruins your life.

  • Being falsely accused. There's no argument to be had about it

  • being raped

  • Both are never a good situation to be in

  • Being raped is obviously worse because of the lasting trauma, the physical harm and the social stigma. Plus, you can't be "unraped". But if you were falsely accused of rape, you would still be able to clear your name in court and in the eyes of those who know you.

    • You can't be "unaccused" too according to the law of nature because what happens happens no turning back time. Even if the accuser took it back, that doesn't change the fact that the accuser had accused and the victim being accused. You can't time travel to stop it from happening. Involving the same principle with rape, you can also "unrape" by just stopping the rape if that's the case.

    • The consequences of being raped and being falsely accused are HUGELY different already. On top of that, the person accused can still go to court, and CLEAR THEIR NAME through the legal process, so they will still be able to avoid the worst consequences of rape accusation, like prison time or death penalty. They won't be 'unaccused', they would be PROVEN INNOCENT.

    • That's involves the same principle with being raped. The rape victim gets proven to be raped and supporte. If the rapist got convicted and she got supported, that's basically the "unrape" or the undo of rape. It would be quite hypocritical to say you can't undo rape but you can undo false accusation even if it's in FACT done before. The undo of false accusation is basically just like to make up for the false accused victim, just like to make up for the raped victim. Also it is in fact the punishment for raping is way harsher than the falsely accuser.

    • Show All
  • It depends. Most false rape accusations never see the light of day, so they are not as bad as rape. But some men who are falsely accused of rape have their lives completely destroyed. A friend of my family was falsely accused and his life was completely gutted. He lost everything and ultimately committed suicide.

  • Being falsely accused.

  • Being falsely accused is much worse.
    It literally ruins a persons life.

    real rape... firstly is rare (less than 1/1000 as per bureau of justice statistics)
    So as much as actual rape is traumatic because it involves violence, force, and bodily damage... which causes mental trauma. Rape accusations cause mental trauma as well, when the males life is completely destroyed. When they have to struggle to rebuild their lives, fight court battles and the financial issue it causes, losing their job, getting kicked out of school, being made a social pariah, losing family/friends, etc.

  • Depends on if ur a man or a woman. For a man, an accusation will ruin his life

  • Being raped that is trauma people can never live down and never forget and Ka physical as well as emotional
