Why does the CDC use this expression "made to penetrate" instead of rape?

I hope this spreads. After a woman on a feminist circlejerking facebook page told me that a man has a better chance of being struck by lightning than being raped by a woman, I wish I had been able to find these statistics.

I understand that this is not ONLY a men's rights issue, but the numbers show that there are nearly 10 times the number of male victims as opposed to women victims.

Not to mention that the entire thing is bullshit anyway.

people with penises

Political correctness will be the death of the English language.

Also, it's "consensual", not "consentual".

What are the circumstances leading up to her posting that? Or did she volunteer that out of the blue?

Unfortunately repeating easily-debunked rape statistics.

I'm glad to see this, the CDC's lack of reasoning behind this distinction needs to be called out.

And to the skeptics, yes, these numbers are probably an overestimate but other methodologies, particular police reports likely underestimate. We may not know for the exact numbers but we have ceiling and floor for our range at least. Improving the CDC questions could eliminate ambiguity in future studies as well.

I'd have a lot more respect for her if she wasn't perpetuating BS CDC stats: http://time.com/3393442/cdc-rape-numbers/

that CDC study is pretty bogus in the first place. it is an example of activist research that broadens the definition of sexual assault beyond normal understanding, as long as the victim is a woman. by excluding "made to penetrate", the study intentionally leaves out a category of sexual assault against men, in order to reduce the numbers of male victimization.

altogether it's a hatchet job, and reeks of mary koss' handiwork. at least some women are recognizing the research is faulty.

What exactly does compulsion by intellectual force mean? If you talk someone into having sex with you it's rape?

The statistics for women may as well be made up on the spot. They include anything from tipsy sex to a guy begging until she relents.

Raudskeggr · 2014-10-11T23:20:52+00:00

This is good, but does nothing to address the glaring methodological problems with the CDC's survey.

It's a political manipulation, and rather sickeningly undermines the CDC's credibility.

theskepticalidealist · 2014-10-11T17:46:59+00:00

Where does the CDC say 703,000 women were made to penetrate anyway? Its been a while since I looked at the data tables but I'm pretty sure they didn't have those figures?

DallasTruther · 2014-10-11T18:10:22+00:00

Yay for awareness, but the "let's make it pink so it'll be obviously for the ladies (to read)" thing makes me feel weird about the whole thing.
