The hysteria crowd gets their stat from ONE online survey with an expansive definition of the meaning of sexual assault. In fact, the authors of the survey claimed that an intoxicated person can't give consent to sexual contact. Whadaya know, I've been raped!!! What a crock.
The latest DOJ findings equate to about 1 in 40 college student rapes/sexual assaults. That number is falling, not rising. And it's higher for non students which makes the hysteria even more suspect. Don't non-college women deserve protection? Why don't we throw out the constitution and due process for the non college men too?

Look, 1 in 40 is too many. But it's not a growing epidemic . So there's no need to vastly inflate the numbers and throw out due process for men on our campuses. Unless that's the real goal of whipping up hysteria.
