Women have deep seated issues...

[Moonlounger]

To expound on this, note the recent media phenomenon of "1 in 5 women on college campuses are sexually assaulted" rubbish. This utterly falsified statistic with no empirical or provable grounds has become the feminists and feminist teat-suckers banner of victimhood.

The CDC, a government agency many believe to be impartial, is one of the worst perpetrators of these bogus studies.

Here's a link to the CDC "research" results:

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.

Those questions are actually more tame and reasonable than others I've seen. Still, they are biased, and easily manipulated by biased interviewers. Also, why is the CDC involved in this? It reeks of PC and statism that the bureaucracy charged with addressing infectious diseases is involved in this, implicitly advocating for more and more government in our lives via bogus stats and studies. The takeaways IMO are:

1. We live in a legal and cultural minefield where political and other interests seek discriminatory benefit at others' expense. Every person, and especially every man, needs to be cognizant and wary of these forces at play. Whether one takes a more active, vocal role is a matter of personal choice, but until more people speak out, things will not change.

2. Deselect people, and particularly women in one's life who see the world primarily through a lens of identity as a member of a certain group seeking advantage or special treatment. Think how shallow and stupid you would feel if you saw the social and political world in terms of "what is the government doing... for men?" as opposed to "what is the best result for all people?" Realize that tens of millions of people see the world in this exact way, and that a disturbingly large percentage of women are among them due to the manipulation of feminism and the natural inclination of women as the reproductive capacity to be more self-absorbed. Seek out people who think in terms of principle as opposed to identity.
