PollDo you believe men when they claim to have been raped as minors by women?

I have noticed it is extremely common for men to claim they were raped by a woman as their first sexual experience, usually between the age of 8-13, and they claim the woman was a much older babysitter, a friend's mother, a teacher, or some other female authority figure.
I have started noticing this is SO common and it is often claimed by men who have abused girls or women in some way (Dominique Pelicot, for one--I just read his claim to have been raped by an adult nurse at 9 years old). In Why Does He Do That?, Lundy Bancroft says many abusers claim to have been victims, but later take it back when faced with a lie detector. I suspect this is what's happening with all these men who claim to have been victimized by women.
The National District Attorney’s Association Bulletin reported a revealing study that was conducted on another group of destructive men: child sexual abusers. The researcher asked each man whether he himself had been sexually victimized as a child. A hefty 67 percent of the subjects said yes. However, the researcher then informed the men that he was going to hook them up to a lie-detector test and ask them the same questions again. Affirmative answers suddenly dropped to only 29 percent. In other words, abusers of all varieties tend to realize the mileage they can get out of saying, “I’m abusive because the same thing was done to me.”
