Do you seriously believe that most women would subject themselves to public ridicule to sabotage a man?

Why don't you believe these women?

Define sexual assault for that poll... is it cat calling or boobie grabbing. We need to be specific.
Reminds me of how the other team is all totally obsessed with stopping "human trafficking", and there's supposedly these huge busts happenening, but when you read the articles they're mostly about busting hookers.
Hookin': the oldest profession known to man. (look it up)

Why are women not believed when sexual assault or harassment are on the public table?
Why? What do you think?
Some facts to consider before responding:
Campus Sexual assault
One in 5 women and one in 16 men are sexually assaulted while in college
More than 90% of sexual assault victims on college campuses do not report the assault
63.3% of men at one university who self-reported acts qualifying as rape or attempted rape admitted to committing repeat rapes
Crime reports
Rape is the most under-reported crime; 63% of sexual assaults are not reported to police
The prevalence of false reporting is between 2% and 10%. ===== For example, a study of eight U.S. communities, which included 2,059 cases of sexual assault, found a 7.1% rate of false reports (k). A study of 136 sexual assault cases in Boston found a 5.9% rate of false reports (j). Researchers studied 812 reports of sexual assault from 2000-03 and found a 2.1% rate of false reports.

Depends what there is to gain from it
Depends of if they're being paid to "come clean"
So many of these women seem to have coped fine for 30+ years right up until the moment their "attacker" is famous or successful...do you not think this strange?

Exactly, look what happened with Roy Moore. Did that ever go to court? I never heard. Did you? Did anyone?

Most women won't subject themselves to public ridicule but plenty will... do we really need to start bringing up the cases of false rape claims? Women do it all the time. Duke Lacross? Tawanna Brawley? ring a bell?
There were three cases in my four years in college where girls falsely claimed they were raped. My next door neighbor was falsely accused.

Those stats are complete BS.
If they were even half true, college campuses would basically be like Rwanda and parents wouldn't dare send their kids to university.
Which numbers specifically are you having trouble with?
Or was this just a knee-jerk "It can't be true" reaction.
There was something on one study that found 1 in 4 to be the victim of sexual assault or something like it. That number was found based on self-reporting and the way the question was written. The definition of sexual assault was so loose that just about anything could be found to be sexual assault, even getting looked at in a way that made someone feel uncomfortable.
I wish I could recall where I saw that, but basically they made the definition so broad that you could classify almost anything and say yes.
And they've been running with that stat ever since.
1 in 4 is misleading.

I and many conservatives believe she might have been assaulted. We just don’t believe it was Kavanaugh.
