Unfortunately the best I can come up with as a statistic is to extrapolate from those numbers

2018-12-28 01:46:44 UTC  

Anything more concrete I have would only be from police data

2018-12-28 01:46:51 UTC  

which just isn't what we're looking for

2018-12-28 01:47:52 UTC  

So what I'd suggest is 20% of that 2 in 100 yearly sexual assault are of a severe nature beyond touching

2018-12-28 01:48:56 UTC  

And that the yearly number should be multiplied by ~15 or so to get a lifetime rate since it drops off by age

2018-12-28 01:49:25 UTC  

which leaves us at 1 in 20 or so

2018-12-28 01:49:53 UTC  

lifetime

2018-12-28 01:50:18 UTC  

But that has quite the error margin since it is more back of napkin stuff than anything scientific. And my assumption that I use to jump from yearly to lifetime is woefully poor.

2018-12-28 01:50:40 UTC  

But as far as I can tell, lifetime data in Canada is simply not available

2018-12-28 01:51:01 UTC  

At least for stuff that isn't based on police reports

2018-12-28 01:51:21 UTC  

I think that teacher's claim is quite extraordinary

2019-01-01 14:01:58 UTC  

@everyone we have a new Men Are Human Article!

2019-01-03 12:49:42 UTC  

Site has been slightly redesigned. Sorry for any hassles with it. You can't really redo a site like this offline.

2019-01-03 15:49:44 UTC  

Excellent article and content nonetheless.

2019-01-03 17:45:22 UTC  

Thanks a lot.

2019-01-03 17:46:07 UTC  

If you have a story or an article of your own, let me know. It can be in private, if you prefer to be anonymous. I don't mind.

2019-01-04 07:02:25 UTC  

I've always liked the one on our subreddit, Short and sweet, gets the message across, easy to draw,

2019-01-04 08:17:43 UTC  

@goodmod It is quite good, and has some recognition already. Maybe we should use it. Personally I wanted to get the female symbol involved too, but maybe we can draw it as a tail?

2019-01-04 08:17:49 UTC  

Like:

2019-01-04 08:19:07 UTC  

But without the extra arrow

2019-01-04 08:20:02 UTC  

Personally I'm not a fan of using the female symbol. Whereas we don't oppose *actual* rights for women (not privileges), we don't advocate for them either

2019-01-04 08:42:41 UTC  

The idea kinda is to bring the male and female together into an equal movement.

2019-01-04 08:42:41 UTC  

Well, we tend to be egalitarian, I think especially Men Are Human tends that way

2019-01-04 08:43:01 UTC  

the website I mean

2019-01-04 08:43:06 UTC  

@asparkofpyrokravte I was about to say just that, but didn't. Lol

2019-01-04 08:43:58 UTC  

That does entail some advocacy for women when warranted

2019-01-04 08:45:00 UTC  

At very least agreeing with certain things put forth by others

2019-01-04 09:23:06 UTC  

Absolutely. In fact, I always discribe my view as being about equally - but add that we focus on men currently because they are the ones with the problems.

2019-01-04 09:23:55 UTC  

I would like equality, I'm defiantly not here to be subservient to men xD

2019-01-04 09:24:00 UTC  

I have a book review coming up soon that will deconstruct an anti-female mra text too.

2019-01-04 09:24:32 UTC  

@Abbysol I wouldn't have made you a mod if this was about subservience. XD

2019-01-04 09:25:12 UTC  

you where a fool for giving power to waman! now my goal to take over the world is one step closer! xD

2019-01-04 09:25:32 UTC  

Lol

2019-01-04 09:25:56 UTC  

I'm sure most people would just call me token women to that, lol

2019-01-04 09:36:04 UTC  

@Men Are Human i agree with @goodmod on it

2019-01-04 09:36:27 UTC  

The logo we have is simpler and on point

2019-01-04 09:38:10 UTC  

I agree with @InsaneCaterpilla that the female symbol is unnecessary.

2019-01-04 10:03:08 UTC  

@Abbysol Didn't you or someone change their name to that at one point? XD

2019-01-04 10:03:46 UTC  

you thinking of Token Feminist? pretty sure that was PM
