Anyone heard of this? 1 in 6 men have been sexually abused/assaulted

It's difficult to know since male victims of abuse are less likely to report. However plenty of studies have shown that men and women perpetrate sexual and physical violence at roughly the same rate, and that men and women become victims of sexual and physical violence at roughly the same rate. Whether it's 1 in 3, 1 in 4, 1 in 6 or 1 in 10 doesn't matter.

Statistics are an ideologue's favorite way of lying while seeming authoritative. Before any numbers at all come into the picture, ask yourself:

Exactly how are they defining each term in "sexual abuse?"
Exactly how are they defining each term in "sexual assault?"

I've seen activists stupid enough to include (I am not making this up) "unwanted staring." So you take a one-hour ride in the NY subway or on the L in Chicago; how many such "assaults" is any human being up to just from that alone?

It's not about the numbers; it's about who gets to choose which numbers to include or exclude and why.

I'd like see the survey questions.

The CDC NISVS questions clearly lead the respondent to count drunk sex as rape.

I've been sexually assaulted by multiple women as have a few of my friends but they don't say anything because of social stigmas

50% when you count circumcision

Twice a man tried to have sex with me without me wanting it, and once a woman. One man tried on me when we were both very drunk and I had to tell him I was really heterosexual, but we remained good friends afterward. The other man (much older than me, but I was an adult) told me a very dirty story trying to turn me on, but I was just appalled. I think neither of them did something unallowable, there are no strict rules about how to approach someone sexually.

The woman kept trying to seduce me when I said no, but my attitude was ambivalent, I could just have gone home. I was dating another woman via an internet site (who broke it off the next time I saw her) and that was the main reason I refused, but at the same time, I liked what was happening.

Sex negative statistics will say I was assaulted three times in my life. I would say zero.

I will be honest. I am not 100% sure that this statistic is true. I’ve seen false statistics before (1 in 5 women being sexually assaulted, for example). I wanted to know your thoughts.

Is it the Mary P Koss version of "sexual abuse/assault"?

Dunkolunko · 2020-08-02T01:55:58+00:00

I dont believe 1 in 5 women have been sexually assaulted and I dont believe 1 in 6 men have either
