So that would make as many rape/murders as there are gun deaths. The media must be really giving rape/ murder a pass.

If we're going to complain about the other side distorting things we shouldn't permit it here. Per your second citation around 1.5% of murders were preceded by rape or another sex offense, which is far different than 1.5% of rapes end in murder as you claimed. You started with a faulty premise, followed with a faulty analysis, which invariably led to a faulty conclusion.

Hold up.

20.4 million students.

1.5% report sexual assault, which translates to around 306,000 sexual assaults per year. (95% CI) 55% female student body suggests 168,300, which translates to 461 sexual assaults on women per day, or about 19 per hour, 24 hours a day, all year long, every year. This is actually suggested by the statistics, and assumes no skew regarding one sex being raped more frequently than another. So if you ever hear a claim that a female college student in America is a victim of sexual assault every 3 minutes, keep in mind that this is a claim that is supported.

Colleges are required by Federal law to report serious crime rates. There must be major cash to be made by suing them for this cover up.

I honestly can't tell if you're serious or not. In case you are, this old video was posted two days ago, and this article was posted and discussed the next day. As omegaflux has said, you've "started with a faulty premise, followed with a faulty analysis, which invariably led to a faulty conclusion". I used to be a feminist who believed the 1-in-5 claim, but when you see the tactics they use to concoct it, you'll be shocked as to how often those fallacies are used and how widely they are believed. It is a movement built on so many falsehoods, and this is one of the leading ones.

In case you're not serious, I'd rather we didn't treat this issue with insensitivity. Ridiculing the disillusioned people making these claims is more likely to make them scream "misogyny" and hunker down on their misconceptions than to show them the error of their ways. Let's leave the horrible maths jokes to non-sensitive issues.

Sorry for failing to clarify. This is hyperbole. /u/civilsaint hit the nail on the head.
