A figure on how many chicks do get raped? The figures vary so much. I think the official one is actually 1 in 6. From talking to my friends it would seem much higher than that though. Nobody reports it, cops don't do anything but make it worse. Not to mention the other factors I mentioned why no one reports it. I'm fortunate it was never from a family member. What I was looking for was to assess the general attitude from people regarding the subject. From what I've seen, many men actually take it extremely lightly. As seen by a joke made earlier in the thread. |
Just to avoid any type of confusion I should just start by saying I think rape is a terrible thing, it's bad, the people who do it can go to Hell, ect.
Now then, 7.7% is not even near a large amount. Even saying something like rediculous like there's a 5% error (which is insane) that still isn't a lot. Again, not saying even 12% would be acceptable but even if 12% of all college males raped a woman that would not mean nearly all women have been raped.
Even pretending that the 7.7% represents the general male (which isn't a hard thing to imagine) that still doesn't mean every one of that 7.7% of males raped more than one woman.
So yeah, I have no idea where you got nearly all women have been raped.
Even your 1 in 6 thing is bogus and you should know why just from reading these forums (OMG, 1 in 6 of my friends have had the RRoD, it's an epidemic!).
Again, I'm not making light of rape or saying 7.7% isn't a bad thing and I completely agree it's a terrible thing, I just fail to see where you got nearly all women have been raped. Even you saying the reports greatly vary should tell you that the reports don't really mean much.
