Well done, you missed the point and became a rape apologist. Congrats!

Oh, god yes.

I'm 1000% sure it's higher than that. I would guess it's closer to half.

Excuse me, what the fuck is "completed rape"?

much appreciated :) love all the gawker blogs

Oh ok, thank you very much for the rec, and for the advice

seriously, it doesn't get any more legit then a study conducted by one of the preeminent scientific orgs in the US. Though honestly, I've never understood why people would deny this disturbing statistic in the first place, especially considering that multiple orgs have reported this exact same statistic. It's actually…

Yesssss! And some of them won't accept university studies because liberals.

OK, never mind carry on then. I was talking about this at work today and there was a lot of confusion so I utilized my jump to conclusion matt.

It's not what's been reported (I assume you meant to the cops), it's what they answered on an anonymous survey — it's probably a much more accurate reflection of the true numbers than, say, what they cull from police reports. Still probably underestimated but it's an important finding because it theoretically…

Yes. I'm definitely a part of those statistics. The one dance club by my college was notorious for having random guys grab you. One night, I had one guy come up behind me and goose me under my short skirt. Later that same night, a different guy pinched my nipple through my tank top. I should be able to wear…

In my experience of arguing with the MRA/PUA-bots, when you confront them with facts or science (as opposed to evo psych bio-truths) they TL;DR out. Or maybe its Too Dumb; Can't Read. Whatever. Apparently actually knowing what you're talking about is far less satisfying than HURR DURR FEMINISM!!!111!!!

Sadly.... I would take a guess to say the number of women who've been raped is a lot more closer to 50% then 20. With mens somewhere around 15% I would guess.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I haven't read the study yet. That 'estimated' part followed by 3 significant figures makes me wonder if they tried to figure in the unreported ones. Oh, wait, I skimmed past the paragraph with the racial breakdown. Yeah, shit, the real number is way higher. Whiskey. It's whiskey…

This is good but it won't stop them. I posted an anti-rape culture post yesterday that, I think, is getting near 550 stars. I still have men posting to that now with massive amounts of abuse.

Well, hopefully Google will forever tarnish the name of Robert P. Monteleone for future employers, dates, etc.

A good indicator of the fact that this is just the tip of the iceberg is the difference between what non-hispanic and hispanic women are willing to report.

Yeah I was reading this thinking hmmm, well my rape isn't in that number, I wonder how many others aren't...

BUT BUT BUT WHAT IF THEY LIED? What if they CLAIMED rape to further their own feminazi agendas? What if really he was drunk and SHE was drunk too and she SAYS she said no but she DIDN'T but then she felt like a slut so she said it was rape? WHAT ABOUT THAT, HUH? FALSE ACCUSATIONS, WHAT ABOUT TEH MENZ, etc.
