Woman Recieves Light Sentence after Five False Rape Accusations Against Boyfriends in Eight Years;
Judge's Concern for the Victims Extends Only to Actual Rape Victims, Who Will Be Less Likely to be Believed

Instapundit has a good question: Aren't the men falsely accused, who were put through hell and who faced the possibility of long prison sentences, the most direct and real victims here?

Do men not count? Does a real harm experienced by an actual man even matter? Is a speculative harm hypothetically experienced by an imaginary woman count for more than real harm inflicted on actual men?

What the hell?

Is the Narrative so powerful that men are simply branded as Never Victims, even when they clearly are?

Anyway, after not facing any consequences for the first four criminally false accusations, this woman will finally be seeing some minor criminal penalties. She'll spend two years in jail, despite a series of false accusations that could have resulted in twenty-five years of unjust incarceration (combined) for five different men.

But just as the Narrative says that men can't really be Victims, so too does it say that women can't actually be Oppressors. So the penalty leveled against her is a small one -- she really can't be a criminal. She's a woman, and women don't lie about rape, and if they do, well, they must have had a pretty good reason to do so.
