irrelevant. but over the last couple years, the men that generally dismiss womens issues and are imo sexist, are the ones that continually throw out the number that rape is down so why are you women talking about it. as if there is no longer a problem. it is being used as a weapon/tool against women.

logic and common sense does not have to be a factor. here are the numbers, now stfu. which seems to be the precedent on most all womens issues we face today.

then throw in a nation of uninformed and how we are all over the rights ass for being stupid, i have to say.... what about buying into this for agenda sake. is there a difference? cause i am not seeing it.
