Quote comes at end of long rape hysteria mongering article with all the usual 1 in 4 bullshit. Truly astonishing, the absence of a crime being reported is now considered as evidence that the crime is even more rampant and insidious than usual.

What town but one made of a coven of witches would never report or prosecute a witch?!!

Insanity.

Heather MacDonald: The Campus Rape Myth

Campus rape researchers may feel that they know better than female students themselves about the students’ sexual experiences, but the students are voting with their feet and staying away in droves from the massive rape apparatus built up since the Ms. article. Referring to rape hotlines, rape consultant Brett Sokolow laments: “The problem is, on so many of our campuses, very few people ever call. And mostly, we’ve resigned ourselves to the under-utilization of these resources.”

Federal law requires colleges to publish reported crimes affecting their students. The numbers of reported sexual assaults—the law does not require their confirmation—usually run under half a dozen a year on private campuses and maybe two to three times that at large public universities. You might think that having so few reports of sexual assault a year would be a point of pride; in fact, it’s a source of gall for students and administrators alike. Yale’s associate general counsel and vice president were clearly on the defensive when asked by the Yale alumni magazine in 2004 about Harvard’s higher numbers of reported assaults; the reporter might as well have been needling them about a Harvard-Yale football rout. “Harvard must have double-counted or included incidents not required by federal law,” groused the officials. The University of Virginia does not publish the number of its sexual-assault hearings because it is so low. “We’re reticent to publicize it when we have such a small ‘n’ number,” says Nicole Eramu, Virginia’s associate dean of students.

Campuses do everything they can to get their numbers of reported and adjudicated sexual assaults up—adding new categories of lesser offenses, lowering the burden of proof, and devising hearing procedures that will elicit more assault charges. At Yale, it is the accuser who decides whether the accused may confront her—a sacrifice of one of the great Anglo-Saxon truth-finding procedures. “You don’t want them to not come to the board and report, do you?” asks physics professor Peter Parker, convener of the university’s Sexual Harassment Grievance Board.

While the bias is pretty clear, the sentiment is something that MRAs should be advocating. Sexual assault is under-reported, especially among males.

Anyone else catch that "tip" : "Don't go into bedrooms at fraternity parties" and get bothered by it?

"There needs to be a cultural shift that gets nations to see zero nuclear detonations as a bad thing, instead of something to be proud of." - Because if there are no reported nuclear detonations, it means nuclear detonations are rampant in society.

End ICBM (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile) Culture!
