This isn't about one single study, it's about a wide ranging and accepted statistical phenomenon.

that nobody is debating exists. people are debating how much it actually exists. feminist-leaning authors will expand that number as much as possible, just as oil-based studies will decrease warming as much as possible.

you accept the criticism of one study. i'm just asking why you refuse to criticize the studies that agree with your beliefs?

but it is another data point and would have to be part of this "women's group" conspiracy, wouldn't it?

huh? the study was just about how many "rapes" go unreported. the CDC information was used to compare various measuring sources, namely with the FBI database on rape investigations by police forces.

So you're essentially saying that because she's a liberal, she must have falsified the data?

again,

so you accept studies funded by oil companies that disprove global warming?

or what about the corn lobby and their studies about how HFCS aren't bad for us?


quote:

While it's impossible to get completely exact numbers on it, it shouldn't be debated that it is a prevalent problem.

how do we know how prevalent it is if we don't have data to base a judgment?

You're the one that seems to be in denial about that,

what?

Um, knowing how absolutely clueless most women are I wouldn't necessarily consider it to be a bad thing.

This applies to men too of course, so maybe we could come up with a way to eliminate the stupid vote?

I kid, y'all wouldn't support something like that. Turning out the emotional and the stupid (mixed with fraud) ensures lib- progs retain power. It would be like suicide for the democrats.

uh, i've been "Reduced" to that for about 25 years

your back to back posts were awesome though, b/c you displayed a lack of sense of humor in the very post before this one:

A new low in being disingenuous.

Oil companies have a profit incentive, what profit incentive does a feminist have to "expand" the numbers?

I wouldn't accept something as fact because one study says X. But when you have many studies (conducted by varying organizations) that say X, it becomes much more likely that X or something very close to it is actually happening.

We can't know *exactly* how prevalent the crime of rape is. We can't know for sure *exactly* how many people were murdered last year either (some disappear and are never found, some of those people were killed and some just abandoned their lives).

what fuels all social justice warriors?

they have a set of beliefs, and will do whatever is necessary to promote those beliefs. they see problems, and will do whatever is possible to enact that change. it's human bias. i just don't know why you accept it in one sphere but refuse to accept it in another

quote:

you're not phrasing that correctly within the context of this discussion

you have studies agreeing with general concept x, but are reporting quantities of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc

again, QUANTITY is the issue. not existence

i don't know why you continue to promote a meme that doesn't exist within this discussion

quote:

We can't know *exactly* how prevalent a crime rape is.

we don't have any idea

the study you linked is just one source using one methodology to estimate a guess (and their interchanging use of rape and sexual assault is the primary method to manipulate the data)

there are others who estimate guesses, also.

but, i know of NONE that primarily rely on date from "Women reporting to shelters", which you stated and Russian criticized

there are others who state other

People who think like you trivialize the suffering of rape victims with spin like this. Stop it. Now.


People that want to call things like "regret rape" rape are the ones that trivialize actual rape.

There was a time where rape was rape and other things were not rape. The problem is that too many people want to receive the sympathy that is rightfully directed toward an actual rape victim.

no

within comedy, you're allowed to be very sexist, racist, etc if it's funny.

so you think i'm being serious that you're engaging in a "war on women" in this thread?

even when i clearly believe that there is no such thing as a war on women?

i don't know which answer requires more absurdity
