I can understand your situation, and yes it sucks - I am terribly sorry - However, imagine that you were the one being raped and when you tried to press charges everyone doubted of you. Would you feel ok with that? I'm not saying we shouldn't demand proof, I am saying that we shouldn't assume it's false - Some of what I've seen is reasonable, like demanding DNA proof etc, however I don't see why two interrogations is necessary when one would be enough, and I think cops shouldn't ask questions like "what you were wearing?".

I think your situation sucks, for real, but do you think it's safe to assume rape victims are lying because of your case?

I am not saying you doubt victims, but some people including cops assume most rapes are automatically false and deceiving lies - And this is harmful because it stops justice from working.

The reason people assume it is false and treat it with skepticism is because it's the easiest crime to trump up charges. Literally all you have to do if you woman is go to a bar, find a willing guy and have sex with him. That is it, so given that I would say that the current system is at least working to keep innocent people out of jail. Unfortunately because of the nature of rape as a crime it is very difficult to prosecute of you care about keeping innocents out of prison because it often become he said she said.
So instead of making it easier for innocent men to land in jail, why don't we come up with more constructive solutions? Such as support groups for women who want to persecute?

It's not easy for innocent men to land in jail because the system is incredibly skeptical of victims - And no, it isn't like you said, you don't simply say "he did it" and that's it, there's a lot of long psychological troublesome procedures you need to take to prosecute someone - I'm talking about interrogations, DNA tests, filling statements, etc etc - Not to mention that cops are less likely to believe you if you're not attractive, thin and young. Given that false accusations exist in any crime, it doesn't make sense for the system to be more skeptical of rape victims than, let's say, murder, robbery or torture victims. The reason why the system is skeptical is because people still believe women are lying bitches and that if she got raped it's because she deserved. I'm not interested in the hyperskeptical intellectually diminished victim mentality of MRA's.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
