The publicized articles talking about the rape rate for women use the 1 in 5 rate, when it's actually closer to 1 in 6. This, including all the other flaws in the report, suggest severe confirmation bias to achieve rape rates similar to historical data derived from previous feminist studies.

What the report -actually- shows... Not what is actually the reality given the subjectivity of recalling events, how people interpret the question, how the interview is conducted, and how people want to conform with apparent realities, etc...:

  • 1 in 6 women will be raped, sexually assaulted and/or threatened, and/or be intoxicated when penetrated.

  • Between 1 in 8 and 1 in 20 women will be raped, and/or be intoxicated when penetrated (intoxication is involved in 61% of the cases, meaning the rate for just rape is likely to be estimated by this survey to be closer to 1 in 15).

  • Between 1 in 19 and 1 in 21 men will be raped, and/or be intoxicated when penetrated or made to penetrate (intoxication is involved in 12.5% of the cases, meaning the rate is pretty much 1 in 20 men will be raped as according to the survey).

  • Lifetime victimization rates for women is 5 times larger than the 12-month rate for rape then it is for men... Suggesting a significant bias in the study that either has women either significantly over-reporting with respect to men, men significantly under-reporting with respect to women, or flawed methodology that treats the genders differently. One flawed methodology was the universal use of female interviewers. In the end, if we ignored the lifetime victimization rate, more men than women were raped last year...

  • Men still under-report rape by men far more significantly then when raped by women.

Incontrovertible proof that extreme feminism is mainstream feminism:

  • The official report defines rape to include attempted rape, and they define attempted rape by a question only equipped to inadequately determine if at least sexual harassment took place. It's intellectual dishonesty on a grand scale to knowingly perpetuate the 1 in 5 (6) rape rate when it includes "attempted rape" that could simply be mostly sexual harassment.

  • The official report treats men, who were unable to consent, physically forced, or threatened with physical force into having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with a women (and into performing anal sex on a guy or receiving oral sex from a guy), not as rape victims, while if the genders were reversed they considered the women rape victims. This reduced the prevalence of male rape in the report by more than a factor of 5.

This study and most articles that cover it simply shows us all why male rape victims are not even considered worthy enough for discussion, let alone consideration of being rape victims, even by so-called gender researchers. Not even boy victims of rape are counted unless it's a man doing the raping, but if a women reports having sex as a minor, it's counted as rape...
