They'd probably say it's because 1 in 4 women isn't going to experience genocide, cannibalism, or torture in her lifetime.

Well, in 1 in 4 women don't get raped so they don't know what they are talking about. The 1 in 4 statistic is inflated and outdated (and has been disproven over and over).

By misogynistic MRA's like Christina Hoff Summers. If she told me the sky is blue I would doubt her, never mind her calling rape victims liars.

Didn't the 1/4 statistic come from this lady asking a bunch of questions about people's lives, and then deciding whether or not they'd been raped in each instance, even if the person hadn't said they'd been raped?

Like, the question was "have you ever had sex after drinking" someone says "yes" the person running the survey says "you were raped" even if the person who said yes didn't think so?

Plus there was no differentiation between people who'd have consensual sex after a glass of wine and people who were actually were raped.

But whatever, I'm going to call you an MRA troll trying to make feminists look bad.

What? You must be the troll. Being raped doesn't depend on whether you think you were raped or not.

So, if a woman drinks a beer then has sex, she was automatically raped, because she had imbibed on alcohol?

I'm not talking about being blackout drunk or anything, or a situation where the woman is not consenting.

But, you're literally saying that women are too stupid to know if they've been raped. Yeah, MRA troll. You can't be anything else.

Also by the CDC and RAINN. I guess they are all misogynists?

(Anonymous) 2015-12-05 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not saying it's true, but it's impossible to disprove.

(Anonymous) 2015-12-05 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
1 in 4 figure was always women who've experienced sexual assault, not rape. People just misquote it.

Even by most conservative figures, 1 in 8 women is raped during life. Most realistic figures probably 1 in 6.

(Anonymous) 2015-12-05 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that's an optimistic projection.

While we can debate the actual numbers (it could be higher or lower) I agree that this is the reasons. A while back someone posted a great essay on why people who read Harry Potter tend hate Deloris Umbridge more than they hate Voldemort - the upshot being that very few have had a personal encounter with a Voldemort type character (leader of a genocidal cult) almost everyone has had dealt with someone like Umbridge - a vicious teacher who seems to take a sadistic glee in punishing a student. They same could apply here....
