>This logic is infuriating.

Not nearly as infuriating as the demand that accusations of serious offences require no evidence when they are made by a woman against a man. Either come forward with your desires for special treatment, or stop preaching equality.

>If a woman close to you were to suggest she were raped or coerced into sex, would your first response be "Show me the proof!"?

What a weak straw man. If my friend said his neighbour attacked him, I would believe him without question, too. It's absurd to expect a stranger, and especially the law, to take the side of the accuser merely because they made the accusation, or because of the type of crime or gender of the victim.
