They're not exactly wrong unfortunately. Been plenty of stories where a woman makes something up about a guy and everyone immediately assumes he's guilty. Hell, there was one where a guy got sent to prison for, like, a decade or so because a girl falsely accused him of SA until eventually, I believe she finally admitted she made it up.
I've also seen videos where a girl can be harassing a guy repeatedly, even smacking him, and when he finally smacked her back, she drops to the ground, crying, and suddenly the guy gets swarmed by a bunch of other guys
