A new report on sexual assault released today by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) officially puts to bed the bogus statistic that one in five women on college campuses are victims of sexual assault. In fact, non-students are 25 percent more likely to be victims of sexual assault than students, according to the data. And the real number of assault victims is several orders of magnitude lower than one-in-five.

And then there are feminist statistics...
Who cares. It’s not the facts - it’s the narrative.
What is important is that they raise awareness of this important issue.
Conservatives care about the facts. Leftists care about the agenda. As always.
The 20%-raped-in-college figure has been repeated so often in the leftist/feminist media that many now believe it. This DOJ study puts the actual number at 0.6%.
anybody that believed 20% of college girls have been sexually assaulted/raped is a moron...
The only way to justify that number is if you include drunken consensual sex.
Moron votes count. The "War on Women" propaganda is very appealing to a certain type of voter.
100%
The 1 in 5 number was from a college survey, where if a guy put his arm around a girl and that was unwanted, it was counted as a sexual assault.
Exactly, the facts are never important to the left
Bkmrk
The data would also show that today’s uptight, bitchy, feminist college girls are less likely to ever date or marry.
Yes, the little idiots who want to have an exciting life, so they decide to indulge in fantasies of a possibility of being raped instead of going out and leading a REAL life full of risk and adventure.
You must be mistaken.
Nothing is more desirable than achieving victim status, even if you have to lie to get it.
OMG: There goes the accepted narrative.
And after all the hoopla. Damn leftist maggots.
