Video here. Description:

'A new UN report claims that “73 percent of women have been exposed to online violence.” To combat this alleged epidemic of sexist mayhem on the web, it calls for draconian measures—including more government supervision and censorship of the internet. Before anyone acts on these UN recommendations, let’s check out a few facts.'

this is the type of b.s. the world witnessed when fascists last made an attempt at seizing the world. anybody with even an elementary grasp of mathematics should understand that these false numbers, like the 1 in 4 women in college are getting raped, are preposterous. women would be getting raped daily in the bushes, on the football field and in the bell tower if this were true. 97% of climate scientists agree we are responsible for global warming. yeah, right. 95% of weapons used along our border in the drug war are from the u.s. so we got fast & furious in response.

when you see numbers like these, run away. run fast and run far.

the very fact that these type ludicrous claims get media coverage speaks volumes about the competence of their readers.
