Why do feminists want to abolish the due process of law when it comes to false rape accusations?
Exactly why do they think someone has to "prove their own innocence"? Have they ever read the Constitution?

We don't. Or, at least, most of us don't.
Rape is a little tricky, because often the *only* evidence that what happened was rape is the testimony of one of the two participants in the act, the other of whom is just as vehemently denying that it was rape. With what could be considered "classic" stranger rape (eg a man attacking a woman in a dark alley), the material evidence that sex occurred is usually enough to reasonably prove that the victim was raped, but with date rape, the material evidence cannot distinguish between voluntary (if perhaps rough) sex and rape. And if it was rape by coersion, threats of force, or intoxication, there often aren't even any signs that whatever sex occurred wasn't as gentle as normal sex.
I agree that it's a bad thing when someone is falsely convicted of rape. Can you also agree that it's a bad thing when someone gets away with rape, without being punished? If so, then do you agree that perhaps the standards for convicting someone of rape need to be at least a little different, in some ways, than the standards for convicting someone of, say, theft? I'm not saying abandon the due process of law, just... adjust things a little bit, to account for the nature of the crime.

Often, due process isn’t fair to women. It requires proof and stuff like that.

Feminists find it’s easier to “find guilt” and punish men based on unproven accusations if those accused men are denied due process. It’s basically a presumption of guilt rather than a presumption of innocence.
College kangaroo courts, and MeToo are examples. Some feminists advocate denying men accused of rape a trial by jury. Rape shield laws also deny the accused some rights people accused of other crimes would be afforded.
