I know we're all just trying to get help, but this made me nervous to say anything else...

My original statement had nothing to do with colleges.

Your original statement was that 1/5 COLLEGE women are RAPED. You backed that up with a lie about the Krebs article, then another lie about "anthropolgists" at "three universities" that you STILL refuse to identify. Krebs is not an anthropologist, so who are these anthropologists?

I already admitted that i hadn't read the college articles I had posted.

I have no doubt about that. I'm sure you still haven't. So why are you continuing to lie and claim that articles you haven't read support your thesis that 1/5 (or 18%) of college women are raped?

But the CDC article is accurate,

Even if it is accurate, it does not say that 1/5 college women are forcibly penetrated with a penis.

considering at least 2/5 of my roommates have been assaulted

Here you are still coming up with new lies. Assault is not rape. You are trying to convince me that because you claim 2 people were assaulted, that two people were raped. Just like before when you tried to convince me that attemted rape is the same as actual rape. That was a lie, too.

i'm not so sure why it's so unreasonable to be cautious when you're alone with someone.

Now you want me to think that because there is reason to be "cautious" that there is a rape epidemic on college campuses. It's not unreasonable to be cautious. It's unreasonable to lie and claim that hundred of thousands of college women are raped every month.

it's important to know that a surprisingly high number of people (because the numbers the cdc reported about men were also crazy high)

Right. More men are raped than women. By leaving out that fact, you create the impression that men are predators and women are innocent victims. You could have said "1/5 students are raped," but you ignored ALL of the male victims and female rapists because you want to perpetuate a vicious feminist myth, you want to scare women, and demonize men. Also, it's not a surprisingly high number, it's a surprisingly LOW number. Your contention that you are justified in lying by saying hundreds of thousands of college women are raped every month is okay because, "Oh, well, the actual number is about a thousandth as many, but that's kinda high" is bullshit.

its everyone's job to prevent the number from getting any higher.

I agree. And by lying, you destroy the credibility of all of the people who try to do that. So, why are you a liar? And what are the names of the "anthropologists"? None of the authors of the two studies you linked are anthropologists, so you must have more data, right? Where is the data from the anthropologists? I don't think you have any. I think you are lying. You tried to make your case with Krebs and the NISVS. When I proved you are a liar, you made up some fictitious "anthropologists" didn't you?
