The semantics of the difference between "rape" and "sexual assault" are not the issue here. The problem here is saying "will".

Actually, no the article we are talking about says:

That's a fair point. This article says "1 in 4 women will be raped". The study does not provide a reasonable basis for making that claim at all, though again, the story of her own that she shares and many of the other issues she highlight are still all worthy points to be made.

It's coming from a study. The authors of the study have pointed out that it should not necessarily be treated as a hard and fast number because of several limitations they had when building their estimates and that further study is required, but their methodology also was believable.

And to address issues at home, isn't to ignore the women's rights movement abroad.

What?

It hasn't been debunked so much as it requires further evaluation. The authors of the study themselves have acknowledged the limitations of their estimates, which are primarily that it's a projection based on studying a relatively smaller window of time for a few thousand women at only two universities.

look at my two gorgeous pups and tell me I could do better with human babies.

your pets are in no way a substation for actual human babies.

This is notable because it is, perhaps, the first time in history Fabolous has not worn 1000 chains.

I'm not going to lie, I was very satisfied with the A.M. Crunchwrap I picked up. Having worked at the Bell during high school and the early part of college, I knew enough to skip the awful pink sludge they call sauce that comes on it normally. It has all of my favorite breakfast foods in one package that isn't super…

See, when I read lots of these stories I'm like "Damn, that would have been a whole lot of fun if it weren't for the whole 'dying' part of the story!"

I dunno Anna, if you had been raised differently, I kinda think you might have grown up to have a morbid fascination with explosives.

It's one of those things that you joke about, until you stop and realize that it might actually be the best possible thing we could do for our country.

Okay, so now that all of the innocents are out, can we lock the doors and torch the building?

I hope that one day I'm as much a recalcitrant old bastard as Dick Cheney seems to be.

Again, you miss the point here.

It is also way more fascinating.

Which is a part of the reason that I think skepticism of those numbers is definitely warranted. People here would argue that the stigma keeps victims from stepping forward, but never attach any real numbers or research to back the notion that 90%+ of victims do not step forward.

People are weird.
