According to the survey, which analyzed responses from 73 men in college, 31.7 percent of participants said they would act on “intentions to force a woman to sexual intercourse” if they were confident they could get away with it. When asked whether they would act on “intentions to rape a woman” with the same assurances they wouldn’t face consequences, just 13.6 percent of participants agreed….“The No. 1 point is there are people that will say they would force a woman to have sex but would deny they would rape a woman,” Sarah R. Edwards, an assistant professor of counseling psychology at the University of North Dakota and the lead researcher for the study, told Newsweek.

Granted that's just college students from one college, but we're talking about a third of them! And this isn't some old survey from the 50's, it just happened!
It's hard to argue there's not some "rape culture" in America when a third of a college student body are ok with rape when if they don't get caught.

Do you overgeneralize everything this grossly? That's one small ass student body for a college (assuming they are all from the same college because it doesn't state they were) and sounds like a terrible survey. Anything that starts with only 'according to a survey' is usually bullshit and shouldn't be used as evidence for anything. MAYBE if it started out with 'according to a survey (written/spoken?) conducted in 2014 on 73 male students at so-and-so university between the ages of x-y in details, details, details.." but then still, who knows who selected these candidates? For all we know they meticulously picked the muscle head steroid abusing future wife beaters of America club at a some southern I fuck my sister because she's easy hick trade school to fit their agenda.
This could also be easily be torn apart on the usage of the word 'force' as well on account of its ambiguity. Is it physical force, persuasive force, or magical force?(I don't know if they surveyed the college D&D club). How many nerds
don't think that they would 'force' Scarjo to sleep with them if they had Charm or Puppet Strings? Some probably wouldn't do it in the end but it sure sounded like a fun idea when they were doing this survey.
And if whatever academic institution you attended taught that Wikipedia is an acceptable source for
anything, you need to call and demand a refund. I'm sure there's other terrible references, but this one just caught my eye while skimming.

Anyway. I hope that helps you weigh my opinion on modern feminism in the proper context.

Personality aside, I was just asking for contextual reference. Someone that has been a woman, and treated as a woman, their entire life will have different factors in the development of their view than someone raised as a boy until their early teens when they decided to embrace their femininity.
