Here's a link to the CDC "research" results:dasein said:The CDC, a government agency many believe to be impartial, is one of the worst perpetrators of these bogus studies.

Scroll down to page 106 for the actual questions asked during the interview. According to this survey, I've been sexually harassed/assaulted dozens of times.
Comically, the survey found men are more likely to be harassed/assaulted, yet the media latched on to the stats on women victims - because it dovetails nicely into the feminist narrative that men are uncontrollable brutish sex fiends who will rape anything with a hole.
What's tragic about garbage science like this is that the obviously biased and overinflated results obfuscate the truth real numbers could provide, and cheapens the experiences of people that actually have experienced sexual assault.
