I never understood this fear.

Always seems weird when people are more worried about accusations than sexual assault/harassement. The latter seems far more common ime, even if you are seen as a guy.

I think it’s a perspective thing.

Men are less likely to perceive themselves as potential SA victims: so the relative subjective “chance” of false accusationsagainst them vs being victims themselves impacts their priorities.

I’ve been sexually assaulted multiple times over my life, all by women. I did not conceive of the actions as assault until I heard women’s claims, of the same actions, be accepted as a form of sexual assault. Men absolutely under report their sexual assault, especially as the definition continues to be expanded, including more behaviors that men have already dismissed.
