I find your attitude to be minimizing and downplaying the problem of sexual violence againt women and children in our society. Pretty tough to have an informed discussion when your very first point is "I don't believe the statistics". And not based on any fact or other statistics on your part... You just don't "feel" like that many women are being raped and/or sexually assaulted.

Most rapes and assaults are not perpetrated by strangers. They are acquaintances, relatives, "friends", dates, and even boyfriends and husbands. http://www.rainn.org/statistics
