Quote from: whiterabbit on May 28, 2014, 04:49:33 AMAcid is useful, that's why it's so easy to buy. Although it's easy to make in any case.I was thinking, if one out of 4 women are sexually assaulted in the US... how many rapers do we have on this board.

The 1 in 4 number is bogus anyway.

Quote from: DoomRulz on May 28, 2014, 12:27:42 PMWe should take campus rape seriously. But we should also be careful to not create false hysteria, based on false numbers. I think that's reasonable. Dude, rape is serious. It's a horrible crime. All the more reason to not lie about it.As for #yesallwomen, I don't agree with it. These internet slacktivists do not speak for all women, try as they might. I prefer the hashtag #YesAllPeople because violence affects everyone.

QuoteI also disagree with this image. The number of false accusations out there varies, depending on the sources you look at. Some studies put them as high as 41%, others as low as 2%. My personal belief, until newer, more conclusive studies emerge, is that they lie somewhere in between those numbers.
