I was citing the FBI for the 8% estimate.

> On the other hand, we have actual scientific data from the CDC showing that 20% of women have been raped: http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/ss6308a1.htm?s_cid=.... What we need is an equivalent study that asks men if they have ever been falsely charged with rape. My guess is that the number is quite small.

What are you arguing? Since false rape accusations can't be measured well, they shouldn't be considered a problem and they should be ignored?
