Given your words at top, and this thread title (a tide - a huge movement of water all along a coastline), I'd say you're not taking your second quote above very seriously. I think you believe there's a shit ton of false accusations. Are there so many false accusations that it's worth mistakenly ignoring a real rape or domestic abuse case to protect the rights of a "tide" of unjustly accused men? Sure it is -- you know a woman that stays with the man that supposedly beats her secretly enjoys it, right? It's her own fault, so why risk embarrassing an innocent man just to give a lying woman unfair revenge against her husband? Yes, the tide is finally turning.
