Do you believe that 1 in 4 college females have experienced 'legitimate' (which I assume means forceable) rape? Because there are several surveys that make that claim.
I don't mean to be contentious, I'm just throwing it out there.
I don’t know about that, but coming at it from a men’s perspective ( with two daughters in college) I would be very careful to categorize any report of rape as “illegitimate” without a ton of evidence.
I would be taking the risk of having to pee sitting down when the womenfolk in my house got done with me.
the 25% figure is a NOW stat. If that many college going women were raped, then everyone in this country would know at least one person that was raped, and be related to or conceived by a rape victim. I highly doubt the veracity of the claims. The “studies” that the stats come from (I believe it is one study sponsored by NOW where the claim was made and keeps getting repeated in other so called studies) call a lot of things rape in that are entirely consensual, many of them not involving penetration of any sort either.
