Women in the never-marrried, married, and divorced/separated categories are all subject to assaults by "intimate partners".
The never-married and divorced/separated not only have "intimate partners", but they are likely to have more of themwhich increases their vulnerability. If underreporting is a problem in one category, it's a problem in all categories.
The main difference is likely to be that married women are less vulnerable to assault by strangers. That means they may, at the same time, have lower rates of assault overall and higher rates of non-reporting.
Stop beating around the Roman Catholic bush and just come out and say what you mean, WP.

So, basically women who date and are trying to find a good husband in many cases, are being sexually assaulted by the men they date. Yes, blame the women for dating and trying to find a husband. I guess she should have married the first man she came across.

"Dating", which has come to mean sleeping around, is dangerous business. Co-habitation and serial co-habitation are even more dangerous. Certainly it's possible for single women to find good husbands sans promiscuity, but it tends not to be the norm these days.

I'm sure Lacy Peterson was safe and secure, right? She was married and with child, how Christian like.

Actually that's a great example. Why was this such a huge national story? One reason: it was an extremely aberrant case, way beyond what anyone expects, a fringe exception that proves the rule.
Tragic stories like this one, however, never go anywhere because they conform to an all-too predictable pattern.

Question was in no way directed at you, unless you have two accounts here.
You asked me earlier to cite posts that were indicative of mischaracterizations - now you don't want me to?
Let me guess - you voted for flip-flopper John Kerry in 2004?
