“… This is campus rage manufactured in order to preserve the claims of victimhood.”


But the heated questions did not prompt Mac Donald to recant any of her previous statements. In fact, she also took on the ubiquitous 1-in-5 campus rape stat during parries with protesters.
“Let’s put that number in perspective,” she said. “… Our most violent city, Detroit, when you look at all four of the FBI’s violent index felonies — that includes murder, rape, aggravated assault and robbery — all four of those combined gets you a violent felony rate of 2 percent. So 20 to 25 percent [of campus rape victims] is a catastrophe.”
She continued that such a “sexual holocaust,” if it were really going on, would prompt a stampede of women away from college campuses, yet the opposite is true, females are now the majority on them.

Does anyone seriously believe the 1 in 5 rape statistic?

No. It seems shockingly low.

I did give options for 1 in 4 and 1 in 3. I believe I have seen both quoted somewhere. I suppose the ALL SEX IS RAPE crowd would say 99 in 100 is raped. Sorry I didn't put that in the poll.

Why didn't Obama call out the National Guard after he announced that statistic? Now I know. He doesn't have a brain!

The 1/5 statistic (they were saying 1/3 back when I was in college) has been debunked a long time ago.

Here's fake news New York Times reporting the 1 in 4 stat back in 2015.

Crap like this is a major reason why, even outside of the Trump Era, I have shunned and disregarded the MSM. When they continuously push lies, I will pay them no mind.

If you are debating the acceptable rape rate at your school there is something terribly wrong with your community
