there's something odd about rape that suddenly makes everyone an advocate of the rights of the accused.

I came a little late. However how do you NOT expect this to happen? Being a rapist is the worst stigma in our society. Even the accusation would end a man's career, social, and any hopes of a political career. Yet the accusaition can be easily made by a woman with no physical proof.
Person Z can call the police and say Person X murdered Person Y. Do you not think the police would be looking for Person Y (the DNA/physical process)? Do you not think the police would be asking Person Z how he knew what happened? or what he was doing at the time? Or where the body of Person Y was? (the interrogation process).
Yes I've had an ex who was raped. The process was awful to her, and to this day she shows small signs of being messed up by it. So I have full sympathy to anyone raped.
However a good friend was accused of rape by a REALLY good friend of mine in High School. He had never so much as argued with anyone for the prior 5 years (nice guy to everyone), yet one night at a party a wantonous girl in our class and him had sex. Although she slept with him in the same bed until morning... she drove home and her boyfriend found out about it. She cried rape.
If it wasnt for that horrible interrogation process my friend would be quite litterally getting raped ATM in jail because a girl didnt want to fess up she cheated on her boyfriend.
