@BillRM,
Quote:Those so call valid government numbers/statistics are base of riggs surveys and the only solid number we did have was the number of reported rapes to law enforcement going back 70 years or so.
Of course trying to claim that we are in a middle of a rape culture/crisis and having the FBI numbers being at an over three decades low was so embarrassing that the feminists needed to change what was being included in the database so tends could no longer be track going forward.
It's interesting how you cherry pick the government data and statistics you choose to believe, and that which you choose to disregard as "rigged", in order to support your personal bias and your need to substitute propaganda for comprehensive factual information.
The Justice Department has already acknowledged that its crime reporting statistics on rape--which you consider "the only solid number we did have"--were
inaccurate due to significant undercounting. Their archaic 1927 definition of rape excluded significant numbers of reported rapes at the state level, as well as all rapes of males. Yet you continue to promote FBI statistics that the government has said are not accurate. So much for your interest in truth.
This year, statistics are coming in based on both the old and updated federal definitions of the crime of rape, for comparison purposes so again, you are lying when you say the government is not tracking trends going forward.
Based on the data coming in from the states currently,
reported rapes are up 43--46% over what they were last year.
What's the matter, BillRM, not enough women getting raped for you to consider it a significant problem? Most women wouldn't agree. We're talking about human beings, not just abstract numbers, and, at the moment, it is the outspoken rape survivors who have drawn the most attention to the problem.
Fortunately, people like you are in the minority--elected officials are finally paying serious attention to the sexual assault/rape issue on our college campuses and in our military, and in the general population as well.
So far, the only hysteria about the topic is coming from the rape deniers, like you, who are hysterically carrying on about "a war on young men" and a paranoid conspiracy of feminists "out to get men." The only people the government is out to get, and stop, are rapists. I know only a very small percentage of men commit rapes, but you must believe all men are potential rapists, if you see the efforts to deter sexual assaults as "a war on men".
I thought you had me on ignore...lying again, as usual.
