Regardless of where you land on all of this, I believe that a woman making an accusation that proves to be false should suffer a similar penalty that the accused would have suffered if found guilty.

Nobody believed the Cosby accusers until they started piling up. Avanetti claims to have a bunch of corroborating witnesses. We will see.
No I’m simply stating that Montgomery County Police Department denied that they were investigating anything related to Kavanaugh, or that anyone has filed a report or criminal complaint against him. So someone might have talked to the police about an an incident that might have happened while Kavanaugh was in high school.
No. There are consequences that are appropriate to a false accusation without making it equivalent to a penalty for a violent crime by a person who is a danger to society.
I would say making false rape accusations against an innocent person definitely makes you a danger to that person.
The second one is basically claiming he exposed himself during a drinking game in college, which most of those supposedly there, if not all, have denied any such party or game ever occurred.
Not even close to the level of a rapist. False rape accusations, proven, not he said-she said, should fit under the same type of penalty for any other type of false accusation, which is often settled in civil court, to my knowledge. If there's one thing this episode has shown me, as a society, is that we have a serious problem with how we reactively treat women accusers of sexual assault.
