In reply to the discussion: Some good news about rape--There is much less of it these days. [View all]seabeyond
(110,159 posts)asked, how they asked, and when they asked was part of the problem they were having with the study and when asked in a different manner, got a different answer.
the reality of it today is, maybe it has dropped. maybe it has stayed constant. maybe it has increased. but, what i do see is men that make comments like they are tiiiiiired of all the rape threads, starts an OP of see, rapes down 58% wimmins, no more need for discussion, there is no problem.
first, it was the men using FBI statistics. i spent days researching and finding where the problem was with the numbers because it makes NO logical sense. and sure enough, there were a lot of factors why the number was amazingly dropping. and the reasons are more than has even been discussed here.
now it is this one. maybe in time i will do further research to understand why these numbers are bogus. i have some info. but not a clear picture.
reality is.... i know it has not dropped 58% or 85% depending on what man is throwing out the numbers. i do not know what the true numbers are. nor do you. nor the OP.
