RAINN conflating sexual assault with RAPE (proper definitions and links in comments)

RAINN took this data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Here's how that organisation defends the two:

Rape - Forced sexual intercourse including both psychological coercion as well as physical force. Forced sexual intercourse means penetration by the offender(s). Includes attempted rapes, male as well as female victims, and both heterosexual and same sex rape. Attempted rape includes verbal threats of rape.

Sexual assault - A wide range of victimizations, separate from rape or attempted rape. These crimes include attacks or attempted attacks generally involving unwanted sexual contact between victim and offender. Sexual assaults may or may not involve force and include such things as grabbing or fondling. It also includes verbal threats.

So to get this straight... THEY ARE COMPARING RAPE WITH THINGS SUCH AS VERBAL THREATS.

I WOULD ENTER THAT 1000 GROUP AND I AM NO WHERE NEAR BEING A VICTIM OF RAPE.

Pathetic tbh.

The first link has further links for the image, the data is true but it's presented in a manner that could hardly be shadier.

Expanding definitions to encompass a very broad range when collecting data, only to revert to the original specific definition when concluding is a very common trick used by feminists to inflate numbers. This is in fact the 8th commandment of feminist research.

According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, there were around 400,000 rapes, with 260,000 victims. If this were accurate, only 1,840 people would go to prison every year for rape. Considerably fewer, when taking into account those serving time for multiple assaults. Around 165,000 are in state prison for sexual offenses, with an additional 16,000 in federal prison. Approximately half are serving time for rape.

Lies, damned lies, and statistics. I expect images like this discourage victims from going to the police. Why put yourself through hell with such a low chance at justice?

I dare them to publish how many of those sexual assaults are false.

I wonder how many of those free perpetrators are women.
If they’re unreported, how does RAINN know about them?
