Almost all your articles link to the same study that got debunked a million times. A study with a tiny sample size of self register subjects. That in itself is critized because obiously thouse afected will be more inclined to participate.

The second point that is heavily critized is what they deem sexual assault. They include if a woman regrets it the next day for whatever reason. They include a unwanted sexual advancement even if it lead to nothing. and basicly if the woman "feels" asaulted.

And the last thing this study is heavily criticized is the idea that 95% of victims dont come foward, wich comes out their ass. While yes, its true that some assaults go unreported for the reasons they mentioned, they show no reason at all to asume its 95% unreported. 

So after the real number gets inflated like crazzy by them saying that any little thing that makes a girl unconfortable sexual assault, then they multiply the number by 20 to make up the 95% unreported and then you get your 1 in 5. Wich is total nonsense.

If you are curious, the BJS suggests that there were about 325,000 instances of rape or sexual assault in 2016 (including only individuals over 12 in that statistic), with about 20% of those being reported to the police.

While these numbers are clearly less than the NISVS numbers, I'm not really sure if that says much about whether we live in a "rape culture" because the definition of rape culture is vague and subjective. In my personal opinion, those numbers are still high enough that I would consider sexual violence to be a major issue in the United States.

I belive 1 rape is still to many. But thats not the issue. They are making things worst by exagerating everything and due to that women are in a state of panic basicly making them distrust men and afecting families.

But I also repeat. that unreported statistic is based on nothing. While its ovbiously true that a lot of cases go unreported, to belive is that high that would make 1 in 5 women have been asaulted is just lunacy.
