I'm about 99% confident you're being facetious even after you've said that. Whereas somewhere around 1 out of 4 women in the United States actually have been raped.


Closer to 1/10. The 1/4 figure comes from a study where only 1/14 women self-identified as being raped.

Regardless, too many, and the reference to rape in the original article was unnecessary. But, repeating nice round inaccurate statistics to exaggerate a problem is also dangerous.


Fair point.
