Stossel's not having your rape culture

Sommers says, "I always make clear, rape is a very serious problem, (but) if you look at the best data ... it is not an epidemic. And we do not have a rape culture."

The difference is not just numbers, she says. "Rape culture means everything in society is reinforcing (rape) and making it seem a legitimate thing to do. Of course that's not true."
President Obama added to the misinformation by pandering to the feminist victim lobby, creating a "sex abuse task force" and repeating a widely quoted—yet obviously absurd—rape statistic: "It is estimated that one in five women on college campuses has been sexually assaulted during their time there. One in five!"

Yes, Mr. President, we hear that a lot.

But it's a lie.

At allegedly horrible University of Virginia, where Rolling Stone said assault was routine, .46 sexual offenses were reported per thousand students. That's still too many, but for "one in five" to be true, it would have to be 200.
