SAVE E-lert: "Rape Culture" is a Fraud, Prove it to Yourself

Submitted by Matt on Fri, 2014-04-11 05:06

"Rape Culture" is a fraud. The commonly used quote, "One in five college women will be a victim of rape or sexual assault," is a lie. Since we bust lies with the truth, we will show you how to counter this one with a simple math equation. Start with your local college and its Clery Act report. You can use Google, or any search engine to find this information. In this example I'm using Stanford. Find the number of "Forcible Sex Offenses" for one year. Include the incidents in student residences, on campus, non-campus, and on public property. Include forcible rape, forcible fondling, and other forcible offences. I'm using 2012, so the total in this example is 26. Since we know that only about 10% of these incidents are reported, we'll multiply this number by ten, so now we have the number 260. Now, let's compare that to the number of female students at Stanford that year. (We know that male students are also victims of rape and sexual assault, but to simplify this experiment, we are only counting women.)

Include female undergraduates and graduates, part-time and full-time. In this case, the number is 7,989. Divide the number of victims by the number of female students. In this case we get .0325. Now, move the decimal point over two spaces to the right, and you get the percentage of female students who were victims of a forcible sex offence at Stanford in 2012: 3.25. Three percent, even three and a quarter percent is nowhere close to the 20% fraud. Now, please find this information on your local college, and share it far and wide.

... gov't intrusion into people's private lives, this is exactly what they were talking about.

Such finely-detailed, micro-managing dictates coming from legislators aimed at colleges is a more modern version of state interference in higher education, not in the same category of the classic examples rendered by dictatorships, monarchies, totalitarian regimes, etc. No, this is arguably worse. In the other cases, the state restricts what you can and can't read or say publicly -- and privately, as in the case of gov'ts so paranoid they bug people's homes, offices, cars, or eavesdrop on their phone calls and read their emails. (*ahem*...)

No, this bill micromanages and dictates directions to college students about how even they will engage on their own private sexual activities.

Question: Couple is into BDSM. One of them (male, female, matters not) likes to get gagged and "fully bound" (this means cannot move in any way, not even a finger or toe). Now at that point, being gagged, there is likely no way say they are not happy with the activity. Being fully bound, they cannot signal their wishes. However let's say they knew what was going to happen and gladly consented. If that person changes his or her mind half-way through the whole thing, is the other party now guilty of not being able to read the boundee's mind?

Just one thing wrong with this idea. There are many others.

"Since we know that only about 10% of these incidents are reported"
Actually, no, we don't "know" that. We've had that number thrown at us by feminists for years, with little proof. I refuse to accept their lies as truth, simply because they continue to repeat them. If I did, then I should just accept the 1-in-5 figure, as well.
