Is this the same CDC that puts its name on publications like this which gets feminist-friendly results by asking questions like these:

[Female respondents only] Has a man or boy ever made you have sex by using force or threatening to harm you or someone close to you? Just so there is no mistake, by sex we mean putting a penis in your vagina.

Has anyone, male or female, ever made you have oral sex by using force or threat of force? Just so there is no mistake, by oral sex we mean that a man or boy put his penis in your mouth or someone, male or female, penetrated your vagina or anus with their mouth.

Has anyone ever made you have anal sex by using force or threat of harm? Just so there is no mistake, by anal sex we mean that a man or boy put his penis in your anus.

Has anyone, male or female, ever put fingers or objects in your vagina or anus against your will or by using force or threats?

Has anyone, male or female, ever attempted to make you have vaginal, oral, or anal sex against your will but intercourse or penetration did not occur

which specifically excludes men who have been forced to have sexual intercourse with women, and women who were forced to perform oral sex on another women? Is this the same CDC which claims that twice as many women as men suffer from domestic violence incidents and are twice as likely to be injured from attacks as men without ever mentioning the 500+ peer-reviewed academic journal articles which disagree with them?

Don't worry. They're totally reliable.

32.9% when they include all forms of physical violence.

The number is reduced to ~25% according to this article when we exclude milder forms of violence.

In the case of male victims of all forms of physical violence, 28.2% of men. The article is completely wrong about 1 in 10.

The cold hard truth is that the safest relationship women can be in is married.

This might help make sense of the numbers

It is amusing how reality shows that dv and rape are declining.. yet hysteria and just plain bad science is used to paint it like it is an exploding growing phenomenon.
