Ok Sherlock. Your claim is 1 in 3 (33%). In years 18-24 (a six year range) the odds of being raped are less than one percent at 0.7%.
You are saying the age range is "shot down" when math tells us your conclusion is that over 97% of rape happens to women younger than 18 and over 24. Or rather, less than 3% of rapes happen to 18 to 24 year olds.
Yep, blowing me out of the water. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] |
Ok, let me make this very, very simple. I'll even walk back my 1 in 3 claim (which actually was 1 in 3 or 1 in 4 with the caveat that it varied by study, but whatever), and I'll admit it might be as low as 1 in 5 or 1 in 6.
Now, having made things easier for you, let's return to your outrageous claim from seven pages ago, which you seem to have great difficulty addressing:

More men get raped than women

After seven pages, I see zero evidence for that claim. The only study you managed to cite fails to include the rate of men being raped OR the rate of women over 24/under 18 being raped, which makes it pretty much worthless for proving the claim that "more men get raped than women."
If I say something like "more chickens get eaten than cows", and someone says "you're crazy", the logical way to support my claim would be to provide some evidence. For instance, if I could provide:
- a statistic about the rate of chickens being eaten (or women being raped)
- a statistic about the rate of cows being eaten (or men being raped)
and then I could show that one number was bigger than the other.
In other words if I claim "A > B", then I should show some data for what A is, what B is, and then the comparator between them would be obvious right?
So I'm inviting you Kabuto: if you have any evidence whatsoever supporting your claim, by all means please show it. But don't just spend another seven pages avoiding it.
