Many of have seen the 1 in 6 females raped statistic, now let's see if this is true: As of 2013 there are 158,064,420 females in the united States, RAINN statistics put annual sexual assault (including rape) at 237,868, 1 in 6 as a percentage is about 16.66%; 238,868 out of 158,064,420 is a staggering .15%. Now putting .15 at 16.66 is a 11006.67% increase. Meaning that for 1 in 6 to be factually true 26,333,532 women would have to be raped annually.
