Heather McDonald on the rape culture assertion (1 in 4 college women raped):

No crime, much less one as serious as rape, has a victimization rate remotely approaching 20 or 25 percent, even over many years. The 2006 violent crime rate in Detroit, one of the most violent cities in America, was 2,400 murders, rapes, robberies, and aggravated assaults per 100,000 inhabitants — a rate of 2.4 percent. The one-in-four statistic would mean that every year, millions of young women graduate who have suffered the most terrifying assault, short of murder, that a woman can experience.

What you say is why I profoundly doubt the whole superstition of a “campus rape culture.” After all, where are the verified police reports and massive prosecutions of the perpetrators? They aren’t. It’s like the superstition that massive availability of firearms causes crime. If that were true, there would be only more NRA convention, one where the otherwise innocent participants, maddened beyond reason by the evil guns, massacred each other and many police before they were all machine gunned. Indeed, small towns where hunters congregated during hunting season, would, after one season, be reduced to bullet pocked wastelands.
