| 3 | Adding up all rapes since 1960I mean, such cases probably exist, but you are seriously saying that you think that 5/6 or so women just lie to themselves? | /r/MensRights | 13/06/12 10:38 PM |
| 2 | Adding up all rapes since 1960Because every study you disagree with is flawed? Sorry but that's not a reasonable argument to make. You can come up with millions of reasons why studies in general can be flawed - they still hold value because the researchers if they are worth their salt will make a conscious effort to avoid such a bias in their study. If not for moral reasons then at least because they get covered in shit if they get caught. I see it this way: You don't want to admit that you might be wrong. That this study mi… | /r/MensRights | 13/06/12 09:41 PM |
| 4 | Adding up all rapes since 1960Ok, if you say that some women claim rape where there was explicit consent - I agree, that is sadly a fact. But to say that the women who later report in an anonymous study that they were raped are all just lying to themselves? Sorry, but that sounds like an insanely ridiculous and unfounded claim. Sure it's possible, but, really, so much cognitive dissonance is impossible to maintain with any amount of sense. | /r/MensRights | 13/06/12 09:27 PM |
| 1 | Adding up all rapes since 1960Actually it's quite simple where the numbers come from: It is a divergence between people telling the police and people later telling a surveyor. So at time t1 a person is raped but does not go to the police (and reporting it months or even years later is nearly pointless unless you have some solid evidence - while most evidence disappears pretty quickly) at t2, which might be months or years later, a surveyor asks 'were you raped' and she 'admits' (since it is either anonymous or at least a per… | /r/MensRights | 13/06/12 12:14 PM |
| 0 | Adding up all rapes since 1960And the study only counts reported rapes, which is certainly underreported, as argued below: One of the more striking findings of this study was that only 16% of all rapes were reported to law enforcement. Notably, victims of drug-facilitated or incapacitated rape were somewhat less likely to report to the authorities than victims of forcible rape. | /r/MensRights | 13/06/12 09:40 AM |
| 2 | Adding up all rapes since 1960Ok, so now you created a new number that doesn't really capture anything. My point was the following: The study attempts to measure "women in the U.S. that have ever been raped during their lifetime" We are not talking about "how many rapes are committed against women between 18 and 86 per year" or "how many women are raped between ages 18 and 86". We are talking how many women of the ages 18-86 that are currently alive have been raped. If you want to find a number on how many women will be rape… | /r/MensRights | 13/06/12 09:37 AM |
| 0 | Adding up all rapes since 196035% occur before age 18? Wow. Considering your argument: On the other hand I think you also need to remember the other option: That the women are raped after the survey is done. If they are still 18 they still have many yearts ahead of them where they have a chance of getting raped. So if you say 1/3rd is done below the age of 18 I would actually say this is still underreported because 2/3rd of the rapes have not occured for part of the sample! - and the count is for 'lifetime'. So I suppose thi… | /r/MensRights | 13/06/12 08:46 AM |
| 0 | Adding up all rapes since 1960There are far more than 112 million women in the US. There are 167 million women in the US today. 50 million in 5 years is absurd. They refer to women 18-65. ;) On your 50% rate: about 50% of all violent victimizations and nearly 40% of property crimes were reported to the police in 2010. these percentages have remained stable over the past 10 years. This mixes rape, sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault and simple assault so does not refer to 'rape' only. | /r/MensRights | 13/06/12 08:23 AM |
| 0 | Adding up all rapes since 1960I'm not trying to heckle here but I think you need some more data/clarification: Reporting rates vary over the years, with numbers from the NCVS's from the 90s being 30-40% and in 2010 being 50%. It's a little harder to track down the numbers before 1995(working on it, once I do I'll have a better picture overall). source? The only information I found is widely away from that: One of the more striking findings of this study was that only 16% of all rapes were reported to law enforcement.
