Why do some women lie about rape/sexual assault/sexual harrassment?

im in college, hooked up with a drunk girl(i was too) and everything was consensual. we didn't even had sex because she didn't want to. the next day she accused me of violating her all because she didn't want to admit she cheated on her boyfriend and wanted to pretend she was the victim. the school conduct bought her story and put sanctions against me even though the only piece of evidence was her drunken story(that would be thrown out in court). I tried to appeal it on the basis that it was consensual and the evidence wasn't credible(would you believe anyone who recounted a story when they were drunk?) but my appeal was denied because apparently when a girl is drunk they can't give valid consent. well i was drunk too, so can't i say that she assaulted me? but of course not, since she is a girl she will always get the benefit of the doubt in these situations. since i am a guy i will always get looked at as a monster. plus if i really assaulted her then don't u think i would have gone all the way? i didnt becasue i didn't assault her

anyone who thinks this is justice does not know what justice is

Update:

@robert bobo

what you are saying is extremely flawed

1. do charge someone you need evidence. if a girl was drunk then her testimony to police is very flawed and not credible. remember criminal court is beyond a reasonable doubt

2. I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE SAY THIS. guys don't get girls drunk, girls get drunk on their own. unless a guy is physically forcing alcohol through a girl's throat, a girl is 100% responsible for what she consumes in her own body. anyone who drinks is their own responsibility.

3. if a girl can't give consent when she is drunk, isn't it only fair if the same thing applies to guys too? i mean two people being drunk and two people being sober are both on a level playing field. plus why is it a guy's responsibility to see if a girl is a drunk but not the other way around? if this was really true then shouldnt every woman have a breathalyzer attached to them?

    Another area of confusion on the date rape topic is intoxication. Bottom line, if a girl is intoxicated she cannot consent to sex and you could be charged with rape. It does not matter whether you knew she was intoxicated, it doesn’t matter if you were intoxicated too, all that matters is that she was not in a state of mind to consent and therefore it is rape. If you get a girl drunk or high and then “get together” with her you have committed a sexual assault. Again, it doesn’t matter if you are drunk or high as well. Your diminished abilities do not negate your responsibilities. A good rule to follow; if you are under the influence do not have sex. Now say you really had no idea a girl was intoxicated and that she truly appeared to be a willing partner, what then? The reality is that you could still be charged with rape if she is able to prove she was drunk or high. Your knowledge of her state may only be a mitigating factor; it does not guarantee you won’t be charged. So another good rule to follow, don’t have sex with anybody you are not 100% certain is able to consent. In other words, don’t have sex with somebody you don’t know very well or have not spent most of your time with immediately before your sexual encounter. While it may seem unfair to say to a guy “Dude, you’re under the influence too but you need to be thinking clearly even when she does not need to be thinking clearly,” really it is in your best interest to be on top of the game. Why? Because it is your future and your life you could be messing up and it is not up to her to protect you, only you can do that. Like the issue of birth control and condom use, when it comes to consent and sex it is up to you to make sure you are protected.

    a million) till he's an fool, a guy gained't confess to a sexual battery. :o 2) what percentage females human beings did you realize sense comfortable disclosing the info of their sexual history to their companions? enable's practice even extra stress by using taking this situation to trial, putting this undesirable female on the stand to coach her sexual history ( that the accused human being's protection crew is going to overwhelm n the stand ), repeat the info of the bump into ( bypass exam ), and .. that is merely an quite f---ed up difficulty. in a courtroom docket finished of entire STRANGERS. THEN, enable's compound THAT. there is already the pre-conceived theory that all and assorted women quite everyone appears liars/whores. that is going to be not consumer-friendly, up there. maximum women human beings ought to quite get revenge, themselves, or merely stay with the soreness for some thing of their lives. in case you observe above, i reported "all women human beings." no longer 'black' or 'white' women human beings. :o

    They want attention/sympathy. Women who lie about being raped should be punished just as much as men who rape (will never happen though).

    I guess there are as many reasons for lyeing as there are things to lie about. Your guess is as good as mine.
