The full study, which was conducted by Emily Holcombe, B.A., Jennifer Manlove, Ph.D., and Erum Ikramullah, B.A./B.S. and released last month

Jennifer did not choose to carry this name. It was forced upon her.

I think that "studies" like this trivialize what for some women, is a horrific life-determining event. Contrary to feminists' belief, these news stories *don't* help IMHO.

The way to fight problems like this is with good, specific information. And, with good, specific law enforcement and punishment, not a bunch of specious studies.

My old college used to tout the statistic that 1 in 4 women were assaulted every year on campus. It was a 4 year school....do the math.

Can’t be true. But that many girls might have been stupid enough to say ‘yes’ because they wanted to be liked.

1 in 5, and that’s just by Bill Clinton.

1) "verbal pressure" 2) "being given alcohol or drugs" 3) "being told the relationship would end as a means of forcing intercourse."

Only #2 can be assumed to fall into the "rape" category. By this logic I get robbed every time a bum wants a dollar or a Dhimocrat says I hate the poor if I don't pony up 50% of my income.
