Actually, I'm a tad skeptical whenever one feels the need to compare women to children in order to tell us to doubt the rape problem in our society.... .
I was not addressing "the rape problem" I was addressing the validity of claimed evidence as to frequency.
Citing years of wrong "studies/interviews" was an indicator of potential flaws embodied within the cited studies.
Do read Margaret Mead's words on the subject of biased interviews----then work forward to the biases of the current studies under discussion. (she was married to one of my favorites--as I read him, so too did I read her)
How were the studies conducted? By whom? What are their qualifications?
Rape is an assault. Those who feel the need and act on that need to rape someone should go to prison. There is claimed to be much rape in those places.
I know almost nothing of rapist aside from what I read in psychology journals, one of which declared that rape was more of a power thing than a sexual thing.
Personally, I'm a timid shy fellow whose initial copulations were mostly initiated by women.

I don't remember if I posted this in the rape culture thread-so:
When I was a teenager, I read an article about a rape trial, in which the defendant(asshole) said: "I hadda rape her your honor. You shoulda seen what she was wearing.". And the(asshole) judge admonished the victim to behave more lady like; And let the defendant off with a virtual slap on the wrist.
That was just wrong in any civilized society!
Much like the thread I started as/re affluenza.
Justice should be blind, but not stupid.
