How to Lie with Rape Statistics: America's Hidden Rape Crisis

76. Another one who refuses to read the study

that explains why those stats are wrong. If you refuse to read it, why even open the thread? You clearly aren't interested in what the study says. Testimonial evidence doesn't appear to interest you either. So what exactly are you doing in this thread? You do realize that most of the women you so glibly mock in your post above are rape survivors? I would think it would be hard to miss that fact.

I don't see you asking anyone here to discuss the rape numbers. I know with certainty you have never asked me, and when I respond you ignore me. I could give some responses about rape stats--I could talk about the overall decline in violent crime due to demographic changes, even while the percentage of women and men assaulted has not decreased--but I doubt you'll pay attention to what I say now anymore than you have in the past or than you pay attention to this study or what any others in this thread have to say.

And why exactly do you even care about rape statistics? Why are you so focused on this versus any other crime? What does it have to do with you anyway? If you had an actual empirical interest in the subject, you would have read the study. Is their some reason you have decided your rights as a man hinge on erasing our experiences? I suspect few of the survivors in these threads ever reported their assaults. But if we aren't in the federal record, we don't exist. Our assaults never occurred. And naturally you claim to know far more about it than those who have actually experienced rape. Have you ever noticed how many men have talked about being raped on these boards? Most of them never reported their assaults either. Perhaps you might think of the male survivors before you again decide to enter one of these threads to mock people who have the audacity to believe their experiences matter.
