Received my mug and tote - and both are used weekly now for milk tea drinking and grocery buying since the store is a bit far away.

Matt Rebecca, Maybe you would have less argument if you were speaking to rape being a human problem, not just a female one. Do you accept the research by Jim Hopper stating that one in six males are victims of sexual abuse in their lifetime? http://www.jimhopper.com/male-ab/

Rebecca Watson Please point out where I've ever even implied that rape was only a concern to women. Difficulty: ignoring the video I did in which I talk about the alarming frequency of male rape victims: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyLbu_a-C2I You may want to keep your sorry-ass trolling to YouTube where it's easier to impress the natives.

Rebecca Watson I picked a study from my first link at random. 348 rape victims. 0 gendered words. Do you want to pull the other one? https://www.ncjrs.gov/App/publications/abstract.aspx?ID=142244

Matt Actually from your first link, the only gendered references in the paper were: "This problem can be especially pronounced when the (female) victim is from a minority culture and the (male) law enforcement professional is from the dominant culture of the United States." The first study used as a reference from that whitepaper was heavily biased towards referencing women victims - Bachman, R. & Saltzman, L.E. (1995). Violence against women: Estimates from the redesigned survey. Washington, DC: Bureau of Justice Statistics. "What does the research literature have to say about the overall prevalence and incidence of partner violence? Although estimates vary based on the nature of the sample and method of data collection, statistics indicate that somewhere between 23 percent (Straus, Gelles, & Steinmetz, 1980) and 66 percent (Roy, 1982) of American women are physically assaulted by a spouse or cohabitant lover during their lifetimes, and, according to one estimate, as many as 50 to 60 percent of couples may experience physical violence during the course of their relationships The second study - Bohmer, Carol and Andrea Parrot. Sexual Assault on Campus: The Problem and the Solution. New York: Lexington Books, 1993. The only gender reference from the abstract: "Why does no one seem to know what to do about the problem of sexual assault on campus? Why do so few women report their assault?" I couldn't find links to the third or fourth references, but the fifth reference was - Fisher, B., Cullen, F., & Turner, M. (2000). The Sexual Victimization of College Women. Washington, DC: US Department of Justice: National Institute of Justice and Bureau of Justice Statistics. So yes it appears to be biased towards female gender references. I would definitely like to hear your analysis of rape accusations from men. It sounds interesting as I was not aware of the increasing use of rape allegations by men in divorce proceedings.

Matt oh and after reading about "MRA" I would appreciate it if you would remove the tweets associating myself with this "movement". I do not feel men are discriminated or oppressed in our society, or that men should be able to dictate how women should live their lives. I was just trying to offer my opinion that if you spent a more proportional amount of time discussing and referencing male rape victim studies it might get some men on the fence to be more responsive about listening to what you are trying to say. It could also help more men come forward as victims without being pressured by these MRA types. Honest question: I feel like I am just advocating creating awareness for male rape victims. Is it acceptable to do that without being categorized as an "MRA"?

Helen Pluckrose Can you say a bit more about these rigorous scientific studies which put false rape claims at about 2%? I am trying to work out how that figure can be reached. Obviously, the rate of acquittal in rape trials is much higher - in some places as high as 50%. Of course, this does not mean that half of rape accusations that are prosecuted are false. It means there was reasonable doubt and this will mean that guilty men go free. However, if in all those cases, a jury presented with all the evidence and testimony is unable to be sure that a rape took place, I'm wondering how a statistician with far less information is able to be sure that enough of them were to reach that figure. Could you explain how this figure was reached or link the studies?
