‘Men’s rights activists’ conspire to cripple college rape reporting system with false reports

A group of self-described “men’s rights” activists have recently flooded an anonymous online sexual assault reporting form with false claims in an attempt to make the system unusable.

The anti-misogyny website Man Boobz noted on Tuesday that the Men’s Rights group on Reddit had posted a link to Occidental College’s “Sexual Violence Anonymous Reporting Form.”

The Reddit post was titled: “Feminists at Occidental College created an online form to anonymously report rape/sexual assault. You just fill out a form and the person is called into the office on a rape charge. The ‘victim’ never has to prove anything or reveal their identity.”

While a person would be called in for a discussion, it wouldn't automatically trigger rape charges.
