Rape has fallen 80% since 1970

The graph tells me that internet pornography has reduced rape. Thanks internet porn.

You must not be listening to the right feminists. According to the feminists I've come across, rape is so endemic that women are raped ever time they leave the house.

80%?

So....

If the stats are 1 in 5 now..

Does that mean 5 in 5 were raped before 1970?

Comments that will come from feminism:

"The (prejudicial) writing and enforcement of these laws is working! We need more!"

"No, the rapes are just going unreported to a much greater degree now, we need more laws to compensate!"

Also, if we are going by the standard definitions of rape, men are largely not counted in those statistics, unless they are accounting for prison. I doubt they are accounting for prison, but if they were, I'd bet we found a where we could make the best headway next to get that number (of reduced) even higher!

Peter Diamandis used facts to illustrate a point that rape has fallen 80% since 1970, which can threaten the whole concept of a 'rape culture'??? Chances are he will be fired / forced to step down.

so.. its time to buy?

It's more like DNA testing has cut down the rate of false convictions.

Don't worry. If feminism were to get it's way, "rape" would skyrocket by 80% by making casual and consensual sex classified as rape.

Ugh. Do we have to link directly to The Daily Sideboob?

Must be that reporting has gone down by 80% while rape has actually soared higher up than ever before.

Good.

2014-08-20T21:02:04+00:00

A feminist just wrote on Twitter "proof women are getting uglier"

Attributing it to transparency is pretty wildly spurious, but good news is good news.

intirb · 2014-08-20T14:16:52+00:00

But this has nothing to do with the fact that Western society has improved immensely since then in terms of gender politics. Eyeroll

laurenbakeall · 2014-08-20T01:00:31+00:00

Thanks, feminism.

The guy's graphs are bullshit and so is his claim that the WWW caused a massive decline in the crime rate.

2014-08-21T01:23:53+00:00

Hmmm but I thought all these video games and sexy comic book characters and Robin Thicke singles were leading to more rape. Hmmmm something can't be right here.
