A survey of University of Texas undergraduates reports that 15 percent of women reported being raped on the flagship Austin campus...It has long been known that sexual crimes are under-reported. Staying true to that, 68 percent of participants in UT’s survey said they had never told anyone about being victimized before. Only 2 percent of those who did said they told police. Most turned to a friend. Of victims who disclosed they experienced unwanted sexual contact, 69 percent of them said they had used alcohol or drugs before the incident.

Here's an idea, don't get drunk and high. And avoid Austin and UT like the plague.
So were these “assaults” reported to law enforcement?
Oh my GOD. This means that they must fire their football coach!! If you were raped at Baylor you called the coaches office rather than 911!!
So some may be BS but I have had two friends raped on Big Ten campuses.
One had been given a spiked drink by someone and then gang raped. The second was raped by a middle east student that was a classmate of hers. In the first case they did catch the perpetrators about a year later and they went to prison.
In the second case the student had to flee the country to avoid prosecution. Cops in the first case said it was a frequent occurrence for women to be given spiked drinks and raped on campus. She did report the rape to the police department and not just campus police so I think that’s why more was done.
But neither of these rapes were by white frat boys
Art Briles is smiling. The scumbag had me fooled.
Total bullsh*t. It really means .5% got raped, and the other 14.5% are SJW commie b*tches that are lying thru their teeth.
This just in...14.95% of women on UT campus are liars.
Both coaches came from Houston.
I would agree. A high percentage of these are next morning regret sex episodes they want to blame on alcohol and drugs and the guy. Everyone and everything else but their own personal decisions.
Men should not attend university. Nothing to learn.
"Despite hysterical propaganda about our “rape culture,” the majority of campus incidents being carelessly described as sexual assault are not felonious rape (involving force or drugs) but oafish hookup melodramas, arising from mixed signals and imprudence on both sides."
While I have no doubt there are unreported rapes, this stat does not pass the smell test.
Preposterously “rape” on the modern college campus means a woman has had sexual contact while under the influence of alcohol. Considering how often coeds are indeed under the influence of alcohol and/or engaging in sexual activity, that stat sounds somewhat low.
Don't confuse a one night stand with a rape.
How are 18-year-old girls supposed to know the dangers of drinking at a party if we don't tell them?
Once they are raped and abused, the hatred and fear changes them into militant feminists who use political correctness to get revenge.
“15 percent of women on UT campus report being raped”
I don’t doubt this at all. Our society is totally depraved. I used to think it was just the homosexuals, but I learned that a large segment of the population live like animals when it comes to sex.
Keep in mind that rape includes any nonconsensual sex. So this includes any sex when at least one person is too intoxicated to consent.
It also includes when sex continues any point after one person (usually a female in heterosexual sex) indicates a wish to stop. Such signals are not always clear.
How culpable is a rapist who did receive consent at one point but then consent was withdrawn during intercourse?
How culpable is a drunk man who has sex with a drunk woman who seemed to give consent at the time?
How about if the rapist is trying to get the victim drunk in order to get “consent”?
And there is a lot of real rape. There is a lot of coercion to have sex. There is a lot of drugging of people to have sex with them.
Yeah, 15% is a very reasonable estimate depending on where the demarcation line is for rape. And, from the conversations I’ve had with quite a number of rape and assault victims, I estimate this number is low for the percentage who’ve experienced this sometime in their lifetimes.
And men and boys are victims about as often as women and girls. But men are overwhelmingly the culprits.
I relate to your experience.
I think what a lot of critics fail to realize is that 15% of women within a certain population does not mean 15% of the men are rapists.
If < 0.1% of (i.e. less than one in a thousand) men are rapists, 15% of women could easily be their victims.
Just because he didn’t punch you doesn’t mean it’s wasn’t rape.
