In the occasional overreach of the aftermath of #MeToo, lowercase-l liberal critics have focused on the small but pernicious share of accusers who outright lie. Whether the reason for allegedly false accusations is for favorable publicity, a preferential divorce settlement, or even political persuasions, these debates about is-she-or-isn’t-she-lying almost always center on women.

But just as women aren’t the only ones capable of being the victim of sexual or domestic violence, women aren’t the only ones capable of lying during such accusations. For a textbook case in the news this past week, feminists ought to consider an unlikely victim of a possible false accusation: Lauren Boebert.
