If the justice system didn’t have a systemic massive unjustified distrust of women, and it spontaneously reached the peak of equality on this specific metric, then there would probably eventually be a higher rate of false accusations.
And then we’d eventually end up with a latent mild justified skepticism of all sexes, and then we’d still end up needing objective evidence.
So it’d be kinda self-defeating, except for a handful of glory years. Now would be a fantastic time for those glory years, no doubt, but it’s not a long-term solution.
Statistically, less than 1% of all accusations of sexual assault are false.
Statistically, about 3% of sexual assaults actually end in a conviction. Only about 11% get to court. Only about 25% are reported.
Considering men do most of (not all) the sexual assault (by far, though), it seems currently a lot of sexual predators are escaping justice.
Now I get US society (and most of human society in general) is way hung up about sexual relations. It’s exacerbated by the Abrahamic religions who have proscriptions against sex which have informed our culture. We also fail to recognize teenage sexuality, and in fact hate our teens, seeing them as promiscuous delinquents even while we try to teach them math, and this has informed the rise of the alt-right, the man-o-sphere and all the War Boys that joined up with Immortan Joe Donald J. Trump ( WITNESS! ). We crank out horny teens by the hundreds of thousands and don’t inform them at all how human interaction works.
(Case in point, check out what romance looks like in cinema, especially romantic comedies, and see if you’d tolerate any of that crazy shit IRL.)
So we set teens up for sexual assault, mostly on the side of men, since girls are taught they’re slutty (and that’s bad) if they even think a half-libertine thought.
So we need massive amounts of both judicial reform and cultural reform regarding sexuality. And then believe women when they say they were assaulted.
Well…

where’s your source for the 1% statistic?
Unfortunately there’s no way to even begin to find out.
I could imagine the number being derived with a statistical model, but it would probably require you to plug in some priors.
Wow you just rode that sucker into space immediately
