@Abel One interesting point: The divergence appears to have occurred right around 2000. There's a question if this is due to the Bill Clinton Impeachment proceedings or simply the election of Bush.
I can say that I distinctly remember a level of unprecedented hatred as the Bush presidency progressed. You can still smell it on this server.
its using a higher estimate from their data on false accusations tho
no
according to a couple different sources its between 2-10 percent
the only data actually studied said 7%
this chart uses 10% of reported cases
high end
So something around the 10% mark seems accurate.
When you get to the 5%-10% range statistical noise becomes nasty.
But yeah, that is kinda deceptive if the data provided says 7% and the chart uses 10%.
this is what went viral
total fake news
That's really bad.
the creator made a graph of 1000 men
but then the % were bsaed on 100
so she cut a full order of magnitude from the actual visual
Do you know the source of the viral graphic?
That's really deceptive.
yuuuup
and when called out
she went
"its a conversation starter"
even the link on the graph disproves her claims
it was meant to look official
The usual excuse.
but no one will type out that url from the graphic
Went looking. Here's the first hit I found on Bing.
http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2013/01/08/the_enliven_project_s_false_rape_accusations_infographic_great_intentions.html
Note the date. This apparently got debunked in 2013.
The Enliven project looks to me like an activists' blog.
Tim, I found this piece about the 2%-8% stat https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/how-common-are-false-rape-charges-really-jason-richwine/
he warned us
and its only getting worse
and will only get worse
I think confirmation bias and the like has been known forever though.
And it's just as bad--if not worse--in places like Academia.
In the case of theenlivenproject, it appears to have changed to a YouTube channel and a new blog.
It looks much more professional, but appears to be the same person spearheading it all.
