I wonder if they are using some ridiculously broad definition of rape, like "have you ever felt emotionally pressured to have sex?" I doubt it's that broad, but this is always something worth keeping in mind when feminists release another rape study.

[demlosers]

Some people believe sex in marriage is rape.

Didn't Bill Clinton just visit Utah???

For what it's worth...

I can't speak for Utah, but I have been amazed at what I have learned since my divorce. I have dated 6 women. 4 of them have been raped. 2 were attacked as children, the other 2 as adults. I have no doubt that they ar telling the trouth.

My female friends tell me that I am just the kind of guy who women feel safe around, and are just willing to open up to. I asked them if this seemed strange or if what I was seeing was normal. Every one of them said that I am probably not meeting a much higher percentage of victims, but that the world is just a much worse place than I want to believe.

And they don't even have a Pro Sports team in Utah (anymore). Think about the stats if they had a few hundred football, basketball, and baseball players running around.

If more women were armed, there would be fewer real rapes.

When I attended Utah State University, a bunch of feminist whiners were trying to tell us that 1 in 6 girls on campus were raped every year. A few of us pointed out that it takes the average student 6 years to get a college degree at that school. Therefore, a girl is virtually guaranteed to be raped if she attends USU.

We pointed out that the university president is going to be real happy when we call his office and tell him that they are spreading that "statistic" around. (Sure enough, they got their asses handed to them by the university when the front office found out!) The university is always bragging about the low crime rate since they're trying to attract people to the school, not drive them away.

... and are just willing to open up to.

You be a lucky man.

[longtermmemmory]

feminists believe ALL heterosexual sex is rape.

One in three was abducted by aliens.

So four out of five women in Utah have it relatively good.

I have dated two women who told me they were raped, although one was by her then "boyfriend" with whom she had previously had sex. The other was as a child. Of course, this sampling is taken from the umptyteen different women I've dated in my life.

I guess the Utah Jazz haven't yet been informed that there are no professional sports teams in Utah.

[squidly]

Should have said in my above post that personal experience doesn't support the 1 in 5 claim, course I've never lived in Utah.

Liberal hor$e$hit ...another attempt to smear marriage, no doubt...you know what the N.O.W. gals think about it.

And of course each one deserves a $10 million settlement - no questions asked...
