Even if we buy your joke stat that only 6% of rapes are reported, that still only adds up to maybe 2 or 3% of men commit rapes.

So, how about you explain to us with facts how that number is 66% of the population as you posted? Oh, and if you tell us to trust you because you know....I don't believe you and neither do the other 11 million rapists in this country.
You are such a joke. Every stat I've mentioned in this thread is from Statscan surveys [look them up], which is also where the initial joke of a stat comes from. Selective belief of the same freaking source? Really?

and you're not even reading my posts, because I never stated anything like 66% of the population are rapists. I said that you're looking at potential rapists. I'll admit that I was being somewhat silly in exaggerating to that extent, but the fundamental points I've made are still sound.

And once again, the stats I quoted, of 69% of rapes being by acquaintances, of which only 1% are reported, of only 6% of rapes being reported, of half of Canadian women having suffered a sexual crime, etc. are FROM STATSCAN SURVEYS. These stats are not baseless, and come from the same source as the initial stat that was used against me.

I'd also like to point out that everyone freaking out and trying to minimize the problem just proves my initial thesis: that people in this country are not willing to really confront cultural misogyny because they like to convince themselves that it's not such a big deal. It is.
