I have a teenage daughter, and I’ve advised her to get the shot. Not because I think she will have sex. But because of the statistic that says by age 18, 25% of the women will have been abused.

I hope the 25% stat is overstated, but I know a lot of women who claim that they were raped when young, usually by a date. It may not be 25%, but it’s clearly a lot more than 0%.

The 25% stat includes all forms of molestations, not just rape.

When I was about 8 years old I sat next to an old pervert that grabbed my crotch. Although discussing, it was a long way from rape. However, I would still be included in that 25% stat.
