| Apr 8, 2016 at 1:16 | comment | added | Oddthinking♦ | The comments all complain that the term "rape" is vague. One solution is to refer to the local laws and use the same definition a jury would use. Another solution is to look at the study that the figures are derived from, and use the definition they use. (You can critique the difference between the definition used and common usage if it shows the figure is misleading to the reader. I would personally rather you didn't overstep into being a rape-apologist though.) | |

To put those numbers into perspective and give you a sense of scale, consider that Congo, the "rape capital of the world", has a rate of somewhere around 40% for all women according to this study, although these things tend to be hard to measure accurately. If 20% of women are raped in college, it implies that American college campuses are half as dangerous as Congo. | |

There's a spectrum of drunkenness, from tipsy to passed out. Reasonable people can disagree on where to draw the line along this spectrum. | |
