In the Technician today:
[Opening sentences.] During her college years, one out of four women is the victim of a rape or attempted rape, 57 percent of which happen on dates. The victims know the attacker 84 percent of the time. One out of every five college students will have a direct experience with relationship violence.
Ever since I wrote about these fabricated statistics three years ago, I’ve been chronicling the frequency with which they are cited as gospel truth on campus. The following list is not comprehensive:
? N.C. State, early Sept. 2002
? N.C. State, late Sept. 2002
? UNC-Chapel Hill, Nov. 2002
? Duke, Feb. 2003
? UNC-Chapel Hill, April 2003
Once again, I must remind LR readers this quotation: “When challenged for any studies supporting the claim that feminist censorship would stop rape, Susan Brownmiller responded: ‘The statistics will come. We supply the ideology; it’s for other people to come up with the statistics.'”
