There needs to be a national conversation about the reliability of sexual assault surveys that insist one-in-five college women are victimized

This ridiculous statistic or woozle wonderfully backfired when President Ahmadinejad of Iran was questioned by a US journalist about Iran’s treatment of women in universities. His was response was that Iran treated women with respect and that 25% of Iranian women do not get raped in college as they do in the USA

Not disagreeing, but it's been shown that anyone who calls into question the validity of any of these claims or reports is immediately berated and harassed into shutting up.

Something something victim blaming, shitlord.

By the way, the number is now 1 in 3 because reasons.

E'erybody's gettin' raped.

This dates back to at least the mid 1980's when I was in college. The number was quoted then as 1 in 3, and posters all over campus told women that they had been raped and not even realized it.

Basically, they come up with their numbers by defining rape down to pretty much any sexual contact, and then assume most rapes are never reported so they're free to make up numbers.

We're still ignoring the fact that it's likely men underreport rape more than women. If we apply the standards militant feminists use across the board, men will likely show higher numbers of unreported rape. Mostly because men are much less likely to consider a sexual encounter to be rape, as the data in this article demonstrates.

So, this article is just maintaining the unproven assertion that only men rape and only women are raped. If we're basing everything on incomplete data, nothing we conclude is meaningful.

Numbers are inflated. I don't know about college aged numbers... but the numbers for minors is inflated because they often include minor-minor sexual interaction as sexual abuse. The college numbers might include any drunken sex, consensual or not, or might include crude comments said toward a female. Correct me if I am wrong.

It's one in 5 now? what percentage of this statistic is eye rape?

The why women lie about sex and rape should be read aloud to every rape inquiry in the land, and be placed as a footnote on every article until an unbiased system is in place which assumes innocence before guilt or are we saying that women are so weak and pathetic they must be spared the systems that every adult must go through?

Interesting article.

The conversation is simple: She's probably lying.
