I was told that rapes are high on campus but that AND other crimes usually go unreported because if parents knew just how bad they were they would not send their kids to those universities.

No I don’t listen to feminists reports either.

Before I allow my daughter to go to college, I will first google “party colleges”.

I read something recently which detailed how they came up with the 20% number. If I recall correctly, it was based on a few hundred women completing a survey from two colleges. Two.

Among other things was that all of the things they detailed were considered “rape”. Things like an unwanted kiss on the cheek, a guy fondling a woman while her clothes were on, touching her arm, as well as oral sex and vaginal intercourse. It included as rape when a girl became intoxicated, but wasn’t unconscious.

Then the results were multiplied to cover certain aspects, like students didn’t go to college year-round, so they doubled the number so it would be a “yearly” number. Then they multiplied by 5, because many kids these days are graduating in 5 years time, instead of 4. So the “researchers” used different ways of manipulating their data to make it seem like “rapes” are happening to practically every girl attending college.

It’s a dishonest number. When you reduce it back to their initial findings, it was about 2% or less for actual rape.
