EDIT:
I am making numerous edits where numbers are off or not clarified. For example: "91% of rape victims are female" is wrong. However, "91% of recognized rape victims (who report the rape) are female" is more accurate. I will be continually editing this post, fact-checking and adding more statistics. Please return often to see the changes.
