In reply to the discussion: Men See Themselves In Brock Turner—That’s Why They Don’t Condemn Him [View all]Bucky
(55,334 posts)39. You're right. I was thinking about the number of college women raped
The National Sexual Violence Resource Center says 20% of all women

I had heard 1 in 3 among college women during their time in college were victims of sexual assault (which would include failed rape attempts). But that number was incorrect. It's only 25%. 90% of those incidents involved attackers they knew personally and only 5% of those incidents get reported to the police.

35% of women worldwide have experienced either physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime.

The dad, while unsensitive, crass, and misguided, is at least understandable

Your historical and consistent oppression by the entrenched matriarchy is noted and pitied.

Horseshit. Maybe the judge was a rapist. I'm a man and think he got off too light.

Any man that sees himself in a male teen that raped an unconscious female needs therapy.

"10% of men had raped"?! Do you have a link, because that sounds like complete bull.

It sounds shockingly high, and it may mean 10% of adult men, but 30% of women have been victims

30% of women have not been victims of rape, where are you getting this figure from?!

The kid should have gotten a much more severe sentence, and the judge should lose his job.

Out of all the fantasies I ever harbored I can honestly say none included sex with someone...
