Yeah I know it's a hot button, but which fake numbers do we believe, the 90% aren't real or the 90% aren't even reported?
Wartaal was right about one thing, that it is best to just take an unbiased report like the DOJ and put the numbers to the test.
I think, especialy in Brazil, there is probably a lot of other issues involved. I know Brazil is a very sexual country. I dated a girl from Brazil and she wanted sex like 4 times a day. She complained that 2 hours of sex wasn't long enough. I also know that women in Brazil are much more assertive. So yaknow, I really don't know what to think of Brazil haha. I also know that Brazil has one of the highest disparate rates in terms of wealth where a lot of people are very poor and the rich are very few. So I can imagine that rape can be used as a tool to acquire money.
I can see that the whole situation is very complicated. On top of which, highly disparate countries tend to fund studies politically in order to spin the numbers. Brazil is very corrupt, I have heard. That doesn't really give me a lot of faith in any sort of study.
It's just where do we draw the line and say this study is good and these others aren't? I wish I knew more about the culture to say for sure. All I know, for sure, is my own experience. And in that experience I know a lot of girls who were and didn't say anything. I actually don't know a single girl who reported it. And in the workplace? Forget about it, I've worked at bars where the waitress was coerced into sex because they were going to lose their job. It's crazy.
But yeah, that's all I know for sure. I'm not sure I can really trust any numbers I see, but I do have a confirmation bias towards, for example, the numbers I found within the DOJ report.
