In reply to the discussion: What Consenting Adults Do In Private Is Their Own Business. Period. [View all]jeff47
(26,549 posts)98. You are the one presenting the stat as truthful.
As such, it's up to you to provide a link that backs it up. Otherwise, it's just a made-up stat on a message board and should be disregarded.
And I've answered your question multiple times now. The fact that I don't agree with you doesn't change the answer. Are you reading all of my responses, or just stopping after the first sentence?

Is it black and white? Yes. You yourself do a disservice to both child abuse victims & rape victims

That's a very good point and I also think that the OP is a good point. This is the grey area.

So women who have been abused are children, unable to ever make decisions about their own lives?
