The 1 in 6 Statistic

Feminists usually hate me for saying this, but females have it a hell of a lot easier than males when it comes to opposite-sex perpetrated sexual assault. If a man tries to rape a girl, and she beats the shit out of him for it, no one will think twice about whether she was justified. She can explain what she was doing, and it will be on him to explain his actions. Legally, he's screwed.

Girls, after either suffering or fighting off an attempt at forced sexual contact, would have support from crime victim's services, police, family, and friends. In the case of sexual pressure, we have the "out" of being supposed to say no. It's socially acceptable for girls to turn down sex, even from the "hottest" guys. We have all kinds of activism and outrage behind us on that.

Under the same circumstances, guys face ridicule, false assumptions, and sexual harassment for saying no. A guy may "only" have to suffer through his assailant questioning his sexuality, his manhood, and his motives... or, if she's resentful enough to get vicious, he'll have to suffer through rumors about his sexuality, his manhood, and his motives. If she's really pissed, there's even the chance that she'll accuse him, especially if he has attempted to physically defend himself. In the worst case, especially if they are in an established relationship, a guy could go to jail for trying to fight off his attacker.

This creates an environment that directs at guys the type of marginalization, discrimination, and exposure to abuse that feminists claim women suffer.

Bookmarked.

Can't argue with accurate numbers.

I think we need up to date figures cause i really could care less about what happened in 2005. Times change and listening to old facts gets us nowhere.

Notice the research is old. Academics and government do not desire to ruffle the feathers of feminists with inconvenient injustices of men.
