Please say why or why not :3

2018-12-07 04:48:58 UTC  

It’s hard to say, they seem unbiased but I wouldn’t know just by looking at their website

Maybe

2018-12-07 06:35:33 UTC  

"90% of adult rape victims are female." - RAINN

2018-12-07 06:35:44 UTC  

So, reliable source for statistics?

2018-12-07 06:38:24 UTC  

"Only 230 out of every 1,000 sexual assaults are reported to police. That means about 3 out of 4 go unreported."...

Individuals of college-age:

Female Students: 20% report
Female Non-Students: 32% report

2018-12-07 06:38:30 UTC  

So

2018-12-07 06:38:31 UTC  

Yeah

2018-12-07 06:38:41 UTC  

I was asking because I just looked into the source of one of their studies, I like the statistic there that shows that women are less likely to be assaulted on campus than outside it. But I definitely took exception to the percentage of women it said were raped. The study done for it was based off a survey and didn't include terms like rape or assault. Plus the survey questions are hidden in a 300 page study

2018-12-07 06:39:55 UTC  

Yeah, that's sounds like what Hannah calls the Koss method

2018-12-07 06:40:49 UTC  

basically the researchers ask questions and call things sexual assault or rape, even if the "victim" doesn't identify it as such and continues a long-term relationship with the perpetrator

2018-12-07 06:41:00 UTC  

using broad definitions

2018-12-07 06:42:07 UTC  

Certainly seems to be the case, similar to asking 'have you had sex after you've had an alcoholic beverage' and answering yes = 'you are a rape victim'

2018-12-07 06:46:27 UTC  

I definitely wanted other people's opinions and experiences with RAINN though, perhaps some things they publish are better than others

2018-12-07 06:47:37 UTC  

I dunno, I think if you ever publish "90% of rape victims are women" you only have a cursory understanding of the issue, which is a problem for an organization with a name like RAINN

2018-12-07 06:49:25 UTC  

Certainly not a good indicator, I was just erring on the side of caution before coating them in tar and grabbing some feathers

2018-12-07 06:49:41 UTC  

Yeah, I just put them through my browser history and found those

2018-12-07 07:21:59 UTC  

That's on Men's Rights too

2018-12-07 07:23:36 UTC  

There are a lot of bs flying there in the worldnews thread... Like 94 out of 100 rapists walk free

2018-12-07 07:25:16 UTC  

That rubbish again?

2018-12-07 08:15:23 UTC  

@Indigo there's a little bit of that in that thread, thankfully a lot of it is being argued against, and there's way more in other threads. Only two comment chains

2018-12-07 12:19:48 UTC  

during a feminism debate with my sister she told me "use unbiast news, CNN is the best"

2018-12-07 12:22:33 UTC  

my sister is the most insane leftist ive seen

2018-12-07 12:23:02 UTC  

Tbh I often can't find unbiased news in the main networks/medias anymore... Can't even trust the BBC to be fair half the time

2018-12-07 12:23:23 UTC  

FOX is the best in my opinion

2018-12-07 12:23:38 UTC  

though its kinda right wing, not to bad though

2018-12-07 12:24:31 UTC  

ew

2018-12-07 12:24:40 UTC  

I settle for not trusting anything and reading into the issues myself from whatever sources I can find if I am interested

2018-12-07 12:24:47 UTC  

FOX is pretty biased too to be honest

2018-12-07 12:24:51 UTC  

Fox is that news company that lied and then used "we're just entertainment" as a defense

2018-12-07 12:25:14 UTC  

If you want unbiased you need to look at direct sources

2018-12-07 12:25:16 UTC  

It was one of the first news companies to give up being...news

2018-12-07 12:25:22 UTC  

All of these media caters to different demographics

2018-12-07 12:25:56 UTC  

everyday femninism is err... whats the word

2018-12-07 12:26:01 UTC  

We need to be proactive to find any sort of truth from all this

2018-12-07 12:26:10 UTC  

Everyday feminism is shit

2018-12-07 12:26:14 UTC  

?

2018-12-07 12:26:26 UTC  

Propaganda

2018-12-07 12:26:49 UTC  

yea, there was a article with "160 examples of male privlage" or something like that
