[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh yeah. I am sure that those stories of girls getting raped at college are made up so Gender Studies professors can get TV appearances.

If you look at the scientific (public health) literature on sexual assault, it confirms that sexual assault is GROSSLY under-reported. Those researchers are probably all trying to get on TV also.

Listen to yourself.[/quote]
Yeah just like the Duke Lacrosse case and UVA Rolling Stone were totally not made up.

The scientific evidence on sexual assault epidemic is extremely weak and basically based on surveys where literally everything counts as sexual assault. Somehow the number of students stating that they have been sexually assaulted has gone from 1/6 (already inflated) to 1/3 within a 2-3 years. This is not based on real trends, it's based on expanding the definition to include [b]consensual sexual intercourse  after barely drinking as rape, and anything without "explicit or affirmative consent" as rape[/b] and any level of "discomfort" as sexual harassment. Also sex after any level of requesting is rape. Basically by this definition, every married couple has raped each other (of course in reality only the male is considered the rapist). A Dean as Duke literally stated that when two drunk college kids have sex, the male is always guilty (and never the female)

The scientific literature on false accusations and false convictions on the other hand shows black men being imprisoned based on false accusations for 50+ years. The scientific literature on campus sexual assault shows that minority students are disproportionately getting kicked off campus with no attorney, no cross examination, no trial. [/quote]

The solid fact sheet provided earlier was balanced, for example acknowledging that false reports exist, though they make up less than 90% of all reports. This poster obviously has a very biased ax to grind...and sounds like he should get a job working for Betsy DeVoss (or maybe her boss?)[/quote]

10% of a massive number of innocents to expel/convict firstly. Secondly, how do they know that its not far greater than 10%, considering no trial, no attorneys, no cross-examinations are allowed during these proceedings? [/quote

THey base their estimates on rigorous research, grounded in science, which is far more convincing that your rants.[/quote]
