UK New Sexual Assault Stats: - 97% is absolutely ridiculous.

[A Spanish Inquisitor]

Seeing recently this new stat of 97%, I tried to find where the exact source was, you can see the reporting:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/mar/10/almost-all-young-women-in-the-uk-have-been-sexually-harassed-survey-finds

97% of young women have been sexually harassed, study finds

That's almost all women aged 18 to 24 surveyed.

mashable.com

https://www.standard.co.uk/insider/sarah-everard-sexual-harassment-violence-women-gender-language-statistics-b923865.html

Etc etc.

However, they all link to unseen data from the Guardian citing a YouGov pol of 1000 women.

Mashable instead links to:

https://www.unwomenuk.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/APPG-UN-Women_Sexual-Harassment-Report_2021.pdf

Which was funded by the APPG, citing this load of bullshit:

Which appears to be based (as seen at the bottom, from the YouGOV survey mentioned in the guardian).

So where is this 97% coming from? What is this absolute nonsense? From the data, it seems it has been deliberately cherry picked, and misrepresented (as is the usual case):

It appears the 97%, is how many 18-24 year olds don't report sexual harassment, and this is conflated as them having been harassed. In comparison, the study directly states, HALF, not 97% have been sexually assaulted. The definition of which is cited IN THE STUDY as being vague, meaning it could be from anything illegal to cat whistling or staring.


Already, men are being taken to task for this in an attempt to cancel them for the good of wimmins.

This post has no point, except to get fellow bongistans up to date with this new wave of 'all men bad'.

Will update with more info when it appears.

They could throw up a valid 100% and it would mean jack shit because they wouldn't actually confront the issue. These stats will just be used to beat regular men over the head while liberals keep ignoring the rape gangs.

 

[Megatardingo]

People who unironically believe being catcalled on the streets is akin to rape should be raped just so they can tell the difference from that point onwards. On the other hand, running defence for those literal fucking mongrel apes just because a bunch of lead-brain boomers think minorities of the black/brown spectrum shouldn't be put on the stand to not be called a big baddy wacist on twitter should also be raped.

In summary: Rape the retards that are making rape an issue for a better tomorrow. Me for president of the universe 2024, thank you.

How is "online comments or jokes" in the bottom half? More women have been groped than called a thot online?

How does this square with their narrative that online abuse is a major issue that needs to be tackled? It looks like online is better for women than IRL.

They could throw up a valid 100% and it would mean jack shit because they wouldn't actually confront the issue. These stats will just be used to beat regular men over the head while liberals keep ignoring the rape gangs.

Notice how the question is "have you EVER experienced" yet the stats are higher for younger women when it should be the opposite. So if they believe their owns stats what are they going to do about it? Realise their policies are making things worse or blame women 25+ of internalised misogyny?

Double down.

Or being "physically followed". Given I've been accused of stalking for coincidentally walking down the same road as someone, I think that one might be just a little inflated.

Cry it out, it won't unnegrate you.

"Being stared at" really?

"Being stared at" really?

Bitch looks like a circus act wearing the tent, I'm gonna stare for a bit to try and figure out how many people she's smuggling under the damn thing.

 

[melty]

After looking at the study, you're right, I don't see anything about 97% in the study. The best they say is that 71% have been publicly harassed. I guess you could make the argument that an additional 26% have been privately harassed but not publicly harassed, but the study doesn't say that.

I do think you are conflating harassed and assaulted which I'm not seeing in the headlines or the study, but I'm sure is the intent of the media.

The study also says that most women aren't reporting these things because they don't think stuff like "being stared at" is a reportable offense or serious.

Another big issue is that the study conflates "unwanted touching, body rubbing or groping" so some guy putting his hand on your shoulder and startling you is the same category as groping?

They don't need to conflate these things and it's shady af they do, its like they don't want to address actual issues.

Here's a stat you can believe.
100% of Brit media "articles" are AI-generated garbage to melt the average drone's already defunct fucking minds.

Basically - The UK's news is utter shit, ignore it.
When I hear Americans using the "Guardian" as a reliable source, I cringe.

Haha! A Private Eye reader, perhaps? They are maybe the exception to the rule. (The Private Eye, I mean)

 

[Legoshi]

There are a few factors that these activists fail to point out such as bringing in people from misogynistic cultures or very shady individuals with no background checks (a quarter or more of the perpetrators of the women killed are from countries and areas like South America, Southern Asia, China, Africa, Middle East, and Eastern Europe. Let's not forget the rising assaults as well especially in Germany and the grooming gangs!) and not questioning how rapists and other violent sex offenders turned out the way they are or their upbringing in general. However, it's not politically correct and feminists who don't buy into the mainstream narrative like Ayaan Hirsi Ali who bring this up are often ignored.

Tempted to buy a copy next issue. They have good anon sources within fleet street. Those feautured within the pages seem keen to rely upon the papers niche market than cry defamation so hopefully catch some pigs rolling in the mud and leaky taps.

 

[Tragi-Chan]

Actually, I have harassed 97% of women in the UK. I just think it’s important to keep yourself busy.
