Our thanks to Stuart for this, an interesting story from 2014. The victim of Lisha Tait’s false rape alegation – made in July 2013 – was surprisingly forgiving:
Mr Farrell (defence barrister) said that despite an innocent man “feeling the full weight of a police interview”, he bore “no harm or ill will” to Tait.
You can only wonder at the indifference she showed towards another human being.
No, scratch that. It’s not indifference. It is venomous hatred. “Punish him!” It is callous of me to say this, but when we used to be lectured “no means no”, it implied that men wouldn’t accept rejection.
Now this case demonstrates that all human beings struggle with rejection, but some men demonstrate compassion and forgiveness. It’s a pity that these human characteristics are not universal amongst mankind, as we would doubtless have fewer men’s lives ruined to satiate the lust for revenge of a tiny number of entitled and heartless women.
When a man is rejected, he’ll either suffer in silence, move on or , at worst, pester the object of his affections, thinking persistence will pay dividends. A woman’s first port of call when rejected in many instances is to get revenge as her ego just can’t handle male rejection. I think a very large percentage of rape accusations are due to this.
