One in Three at the CDC is an Idiot
More than one in three women have experienced sexual assault, physical violence or stalking by an intimate partner during their lifetime, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention survey.
Holy crap, that sounds terrible. One in three? That sounds AWFULLY high, don't you think?
That's because it's nonsense.
Check out these Orwellian misuses of the phrases sexual assault and stalking.
From the survey questions:
Q: Kissed you in a sexual way (but you didn't want them to?)
Hell, it ain't a Saturday night out if that doesn't happen.
Q: How many people have you had vaginal, oral, or anal sex with after they pressured you by…doing things like telling you lies, making promises about the future they knew were untrue, threatening to end your relationship, or threatening to spread rumors about you?
Well, those are all dick maneuvers, but sexual VIOLENCE? Pisspot.
Q: Has someone [worn] you down by repeatedly asking for sex, or showing they were unhappy?
Apparently all married men are sexual predators.
Q: Has someone left you unwanted messages? This includes text or voice messages.
That means anyone with an instant messenger has been stalked.
Q: It's expressive aggression if...someone told you that no one else would want you?
Isn't this what every woman says when you break up with them? Or is it just me?
This is just a sampler of the bullshit. To lump all of these behaviors in with genuine evils like beatings, rape, and pathologically controlling behavior cheapens the ordeal that some men and women go through.
There's no way you can take this survey and not come out being labeled a victim. I defy you to try. According to this questionnaire, I raped myself. Stolen kisses, kiss my ass!
What this survey establishes isn't that one in three women are raped; it's one in three women experience jerks. And if that hasn't happened to you yet, ladies, you're lucky. And probably in an isolation ward.
Remember, this is from the CDC, the same people who helped you prepare for the Zombie apocalypse. That's what they're good at: hyping fictional evils.
