Rape Statistic

That's absolutely fucked. I wish everyone all had the same kind of morals set into their mind. It's kinda robotic but it would make the world a much better place.
 
Related, the fact that 1 in 3 women in North America have experienced abuse at the hands of a partner or loved one. Either physical, mental, sexual, or verbal.

You all joke about it, but it's not so funny when it's your sister or neighbor or daughter.

msu has a duck pond right on campus and duck rape happens all the time. its usually really noisy and disturbing. But when the anti-rape was big on campus and everyone was wearing shirts that said "STOP RAPE" my roomys made some t-shirts that said "STOP DUCK RAPE" there were some very upset womens rights people after them. it was funny
 
Yeah, verbal abuse? That's like telling your girlfriend to just shut up. I've done it before, she's done it to me. I don't think it's on the same level as rape.....
 
Do you think this statistic is inaccurate at all to people not wanting to admit it or because they didn't consider what they did as rape but just at what should be
 
The questions they asked never mentioned rape and yeah some people probably still didnt want to admit it.

If somebody did this test for the US I wouldnt be surprised if it was close to this for parts of the US.
 
exactly. This is my issue with some of these statistics and many peoples view on rape. I can tell you I've had sex when I was absolutely blackout drunk and with a sober girl, and to think that the girl technically "raped" me is a complete joke to me. I knew I wanted to do it at the time and to think that if I felt uncomfortable in the morning I could go charge the girl with rape is ridiculous.
 
hahah it was super funny, and yeah dude who was filming definitely has a bunch of rufies laying around..
 
The ignorance of this statement pisses me off.

I am a social worker and work with people who have been verbally, emotionally, physically and sexually abused pretty much every day. There is a difference between "experiencing life" and being abused. There is a difference between your dad calling you a dumbass because you didn't fill the car up and your dad calling you a worthless piece of (insert whatever you want) everyday for the past 10 years.

Abuse is over and above what is considered normal. For example, when I am working with children, I look for whether or not a parents behavior has affected the physical, social and emotional development of a child. When you find a 5 year old who weighs 30lbs and can't walk and isn't able to talk yet, then you are dealing with abuse. When you have a 7 year old who has scars on his back because his mom beats him with an extension cord, then you are dealing with abuse. When a two year old has a broken arm because mom was holding him while her husband beat the crap out her because he was drunk, then you are dealing with abuse.

/end rant.
 
I'm saying it wouldn't surprise me at all if 1 in 3 women experienced some level of abuse.

All of my examples of abuse are cases that I know of, but I was being superfluous to make a point that abuse and family violence is far more serious and significant than zzzskizzz'z comment suggests.
 
i feel like the studies dont give very much info... the level of abuse is important to figure out what were talking about here. If it is something as simple as being made fun of for verbal abuse, then yes it probably is 100% but as the severity goes up the numbers go down
 
There were three girls, brought together by chance, working in a restaurant. All three had experienced some form of sexual abuse.

I was there. 1 in 3 is scary real.

And, there are some girls who have sex when black out drunk who don't cry rape. But, if a girl comes out of an environment/belief system with negative views about sexuality and they get drunk and something that they really wish didn't happen happened, wouldn't you like the basic level of consent to be the ability to coherently say yes ?
 
Wish I could quote just the last sentence on mobile, where you say "But, if a girl comes out of an environment/belief system with negative views about sexuality and they get drunk and something that they really wish didn't happen happened, wouldn't you like the basic level of consent to be the ability to coherently say yes ?"

I can see what you're saying, but hitting someone with a rape charge... Is that the answer? I mean we're talking putting somebody's future on the line here. Is it really worth ruining someone's life over a mistake you made? I don't think it can be justified regardless of how you were brought up... And that's without even bringing up the fact that, to me, it seems like you're using all of the other victims of rape at the hand of a male as a foothold to gain whatever you're looking for, be it closure or some other ulterior motive.
 
Yes, the accusation of rape is stupid serious. And girls doing this for any sort of closure or revenge are being counter productive Girls who falsely accuse someone of raping them should be charged and convicted. And one would hope that the investigation of the assault would be thorough enough to suss out the real motives of the accuser.

Also, it's kind of hard to take a skeptical first assumption because for years this was the norm. Is the pendulum swinging too far the other way? Maybe, but... The Internet is the new reality, available on most phones, and it's forever....
