rapist - the other side of rape

[fabulouslyghetto]

How prey tell does a man prove that he did indeed ask?

Don't put that burden on me. I don't have this problem. Your future and freedom depends on you figuring that out. You could have them sign an agreement, state their consent on video, if you can't find a solution you're thinking too hard, or not enough.

1 in 7 sounds way off. But I have no rape fantasies, so....

Statistics on rape are unreliable because ??% of rapes are never reported.

but does it - if indeed 1 of every 5 women are raped or sexually assaulted - and indeed if rape and sexual assault is under reported - and especially if the rape of men is extremely under reported - doesn't it stand to reason that it takes nearly as many men who rape as women and men who are raped ? yes of course there are multiple offenders - men who rape multiple persons - but if rape is under reported and 1 in 5 women are raped - then it stands to reason that 1 in 7 men are indeed rapist

In answer to the OP's original question:

"

And now the real surprise: when asked about experiences in the last 12 months, men reported being “made to penetrate”—either by physical force or due to intoxication—at virtually the same rates as women reported rape (both 1.1 percent in 2010, and 1.7 and 1.6 respectively in 2011)."

The CDC's Rape Numbers Are Misleading (Time; September 2014)

Additionally, the 1 in 5 statistic is bogus, and in any case, refers to college students not the public at large:

"

...a 2014 survey by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (the research wing of the Justice Department) asked students if they had ever been raped or sexually assaulted. (It provided fairly broad definitions for these terms.) The survey produced results far lower than the surveys discussed above: less than one percent of women reported that they had been sexually assaulted in any given year."

The Stat That 1 In 5 College Women Are Sexually Assaulted Doesn't Mean What You Think It Means (Forbes; January 2019)

No, 1 in 5 women have not been raped on college campuses (Washington Examiner; August 2014)

I'd like to add that the 1 in 5 statistic was arrived at in the 1970s by a professor at Kent State University who surveyed some 3,800 students. It's important to note that despite the much-publicized statistic (President Obama cited it, no less.) very few of the students whom she defined as having been raped actually considered that they had been raped.

It's not a fact, it's an agenda.

It's not a fact, it's an agenda.

It's interesting how often that word gets used, often in conjunction with legitimate social movements like #metoo. Americans say there's no such thing as rape culture but we have multiple people holding political office while under investigation not just for sex crimes (heinous) but for crimes against minors (super heinous). Call me a Simple Sally but I would think, guilty or innocent, said politician's career should be suspended pending investigation. Not in America!

It's a common manipulation tactic for people who are abusive to sow seeds of distrust in everyone else. Personally when i see a bunch of grown men trying to punch holes in the #metoo movement it makes me feel icky, like, in serious need of a shower. There's only a handful of reasons one would have anything to gain from making a hobby out of arguing against a movement centered on ending rape and few if any of them are noble.

1,000 years from now people are gonna read about this time-period like "Wait a minute, so people said "let's end rape" and there was a segment of the population arguing against it?" Very disgraceful, another not-shining moment here in Murrica.

It is not dissimilar to the hyperbole surrounding food deserts or people "at risk" of hunger instead of hungry.

It's an increasing trend to exaggerate impact in order to tittilate or simply to get more clout in making policy arguments or support appeals for the needs industry.
