I would say it depends on who you are accused of murdering, how, etc.

2nd is that if you are falsely accused there is no way to prove your innocence. At best it is a he said she said situation. In other crimes usually there would be other evidence collected.

People get found not guilty of murder all the time and still have the rest of society believing they're guilty (see: Simpson, OJ).

3rd a probably the biggest reason is fear that it could happen to them. I can avoid being accused of most crimes by not putting myself in a situation where that could happen. If you are single you can't really avoid putting yourself in a situation where you could be falsly accused.

This is true, but there are steps you can take to protect yourself. And yes, I fully agree that women who do falsely accuse men should be punished, but when 1 in 4 women are being sexually assaulted, with only 1 out of 10 rapists usually being convicted, I think that changing rape culture should take priority over the 2-4 men out of 100 who are falsely accused.
