Rape is a notoriously under-reported crime: very few mugging victims feel huge amounts of guilt, but a great deal of rape victims do. If you go by police reports you get a very different answer than when you survey women, and even then because different people define rape differently (see my previous post), and even differently at different times in their life, the answers you get will depend heavily on how you phrase the questions and other factors. Also the quality of studies varies wildly, and because rape is a politicized issue many people have both conscious and unconscious biases that impact the a vested interest in affecting the statistics.

And then:

So there's nothing wrong with the 1 in 6 RAIN number you quoted (originally from the 1998 Prevalence, Incidence and Consequences of Violence Against Women Survey, from the NIJ & CDC), but if you look at other studies, including some older but higher quality ones, you get the 1 in 4 or even 1 in 3 I mentioned.

Ultimately though whether it's 1 in 6 women or 1 in 3, it's still something women suffer disproportionately from. And here's one last statistic: 99% (and likely 99.9%) of all rapists are male.

HOWEVER you leave out, that white women, the ones that we're fighting for, get raped a lot less than the minorities they are not helping by fixing Hollywood working environments [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] it is all bullshit my men.
We're 100% in agreement: minorities suffer more rape than whites.
