It's the nature of the culture. Even I, who start out from a position of belief when a women says a man assaulted her - it's virtually universal; I don't know any woman who hasn't been mauled or cornered, and I call that abuse - will question the particulars, whether the woman has something to gain by lying, whether the guy deserves prison.
But hey, wait. Not one of them has gone to prison, right? So I'm not going to cry about all the men being ruined until I see a bunch of men being ruined ("a bunch" in comparison to all the women whose lives have been damaged or destroyed by rape).
