I got in argument over false rape statistics, provided sources, but it was discredited for being dated... from 2010

Six years ago might seem quite long ago if you act like a six year old.

She told me to "try again", I actually did with a 2013 source. No surprise that the argument stopped abrubtly.

Remember that the side making the claim has the burden of proof. While you did make a counter-point which you did back with data, the burden is on the other person for providing academic studies proving their point.

IMO, next time ask them to source their claims from a study. If they say something like "common sense" then you hit them with "that which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence".

How can you even make a statement of "1 out of 3 or 4 women". It only shows you don't know how many of them actually are raped so why would we take that statement serious.

Remember, only the current year counts. All previous victories are null and void, seeing as it's the current year and we don't have equality yet. That means all previous years are less equal, because we are currently working for more equality in the current year.

Tell her she's wrong. It is 3 out of every 1 girl is raped on campus.

She'll believe it.

Arguing with a Feminist!? What did you expect?

If you actually know anything about stats data you'd know that 2010 is actually quite recent, a lot of good studies on certain things that are still considered relevant date back to the 1970s and sometimes quite a while earlier than that.

McFeely_Smackup · 2016-06-29T17:26:04+00:00

So 1 out of every 3 women are raped? wait, I mean 1 out of every 4...no, sorry 1 out of every 5.

with that many statistics, you know it has to be true.

Arguing with illiterate bungos on facebook or whatever the fuck that site was, is utterly useless. It leads nowhere and it will never change their minds. What did you expect?

DavidByron2 · 2016-06-29T20:20:02+00:00

Funny thing is their source in as much as it had any handle on reality at all, was the same survey you used.

Achack · 2016-06-29T20:34:02+00:00

Seriously with college. If it's such a rapefest and having the opposite sex in bathrooms is apparently just an open door to sexual assaults how is it that coed bathrooms are not creating an uproar from the rape brothels that they must lead to?

EdwardBil · 2016-06-29T20:44:30+00:00

Don't you know rape has gone up 10000% since 2010?

Xanthan81 · 2016-06-29T16:14:49+00:00

WHY ARE SO MANY WOMEN INSUFFERABLE RETARDS?!?!

TheDude41 · 2016-06-29T07:20:28+00:00

LOL you were discredited for not being a credulous nutter.
