You are not distinguishing between rape and rape-like activity. And I would like to see where this 95% statistic is coming from. You're the person who is belittling rape by including "rape-like activity" in the mix. You then purposefully left the term vague and when you're saying 95%, it's very easy to be dismissive of it.

Granted, you stated that these were the women you knew but you even admitted that you made up the statistic. And as the above discussion points out, you are taking this stat from sex workers, so that explains some of what I had misgivings about.

Still, I treated you like someone capable of explaining your questionable statistics and the appearance that you are defining rape so broadly that it becomes meaningless. If that sounds like I'm belittling you, then I got nothing.
