I believe it originated in a survey that had very little scientific basis.

Oh jeez. I know the long-held (and false) 1 in 4 statistic was finally being shifted into false statistics. Now we got this to deal with? Great.

Yeah, no science. They just asked women and counted the numbers, and what do women know about rape anyway?!

Apparently not very much, since we're redefining the term all the time. No, a guy leering at you on a bus is not rape.

But it is frequently enough the prelude to rape that you really don't want to see a guy doing it, of course.

No it isn't, holy shit! A guy leering at you does not prelude rape, almost ever! The vast, vast majority of rapes against women are committed by men she knows and is close with, who someone would never assume would "be the type."

THIS jfc. I know a bunch of women who have been raped, and in all but one case, the perpetrator was someone they knew. This myth of strangers pulling women into bushes being the primary form of rape really needs to stop.

nayrt

All rapes start with a guy who acts in a sexually inappropriate way, such as leering, before moving on to more physical violations. Not all leers become rapes but all rapes start with leering

nayrt

guy... or woman

also, can blind people not rape? serious question

That is the most bullshit definition ever.

All generalizations are false.

Considering how easily you can manipulate your results, it is more that the "researchers" don't know what rape is.

Here you are: http://time.com/3633903/campus-rape-1-in-5-sexual-assault-setting-record-straight/

Highlights

"First and foremost, the 1-in-5 statistic is not a nationally representative estimate of the prevalence of sexual assault, and we have never presented it as being representative of anything other than the population of senior undergraduate women at the two universities where data were collected—two large public universities, one in the South and one in the Midwest."

"To limit the statistic to include rape only, meaning unwanted sexual penetration, the prevalence for senior undergraduate women drops to 14.3%, or 1 in 7 (again, limited to the two universities we studied)."

"it is possible that nonresponse bias had an impact on our prevalence estimates, positive or negative. We simply have no way of knowing whether sexual-assault victims were more or less likely to participate in our study."

you know nothing about science

1. how big was the sample size
2. where was the sample size polled? what kind of demographic are we talking about?
3. how was rape defined? was sexual assault and harassment separated from rape?
4. surveys are never fully reliable because you can't trust people to be fully truthful about anything, they always have to be taken with a grain of salt

the more you know!
