He forgot to say that he had sex with himself.
If by having sex with myself you mean making that chick cum twice, then yes.

I believe the 1 in 4 statistic includes sexual assault.

I still don't understand why you feel personally threatened about how more women than you like to imagine may have been taken advantage of sexually by men. Do you not understand the concept that not all sexual assaults are gangbangs by roving packs of hooligans, and that nice mutually consensual sex can turn rapey when someone decides they are going to ignore the other person's boundaries once they have them in a vulnerable position?
The actual problems with the case lies in the small couple hundred sample group, which was voluntary, the questions that would count a person as being sexual assaulted included regretting instances, phrases such as "didn't want to" instead of "forced to" etc etc.
I don't know what study is in question here, but I'm not really seeing how this is a big deal. As krampus has been stressing, not all "sexual assault" is Irreversible-esque dark alley shit, but refers to a wide range of things that even the group that didn't perceive themselves to be victims fall under. I imagine some of these girls perhaps answered "no" to such a seemingly vicious term as "sexual assault" when they woke up after a night of heavy drinking and didn't entirely remember consenting to the male, but it's hard to call it anything but that.
Does anyone have any decent literature on studies focusing on the "severity" of varying "degrees" of sexual assault and the extent to which it influences the life of an average victim? I took a class my freshman year on trauma in literature and one of the main themes came from parallel studies that linked the PTSD of Vietnam veterans with that of violent rape victims in the way they both viewed the world through the framework of the traumatic event, and I'd be interested in reading about some of the finer nuances that encompass sexual assault as a whole.
There's no sense in limiting the factors strictly to inebriation; what about explicit or implicit coercive psychological manipulation that later led to the completion of the act, which the victim later came to regret? Clearly this doesn't yield the visceral, morally black-and-white connotation of a back-alley gangrape; but the result is still one in which a person felt violated by another person's actions. Forgive my ignorance of the general debate on this topic, but it seems like a lot of confusion is stemming from the conflation of terms like "sexual assault" and "rape" and attributing the same degree of violation to both.
Must be the gym!
13% out of the 25% deemed to have been sexual assault victims felt as though they were sexual assault victims. That's trimming all of the fat of every other argument that could be used to show inaccurate numbers. Thats not 13% of 100%, that is 13% of the group determined to have been victims. If you don't feel like a victim of sexual assault, it is plain silly for someone else to say you are.
There is also a large amount of societal pressure on females to "drop it" and "let it go" and "not make a fuss," lest someone question their judgment or turn it around to make it about them, e.g. "well were you drunk?" or "why were you wearing that" or "I don't know if that's REALLY nonconsensual" blahblahblah. Add into the mix a lot of sexual misconduct occurs within relationships or marriages, but there is a large margin of people who insist a husband or boyfriend can't rape his wife or girlfriend because they are already in an established sexual relationship.
If the study was worded fairly and didn't ignore the sample members statements when they went to the contrary of what the person running the test wanted to portray, then no I wouldn't have any issue with it. Just because I am willing to point out actual flaws, glaring ones at that, doesn't make me some guy out there readdddddddy to get you. It just means I check my facts. Besides, when since was "being deceived into doing something sexual" considered rape? By that wording you could use any situation where a person felt the other person was planning on staying with them longer than they did, so they went ahead and slept with them in order to appease.If you used a larger sample size and asked every sexually active person if he or she had ever felt deceived, coerced, or forced into doing something sexual against his/her will, I'm sure you'd find yourself denying that figure, too.
Also, 13% is still fucked up...

I'm talking about situations where someone gets someone super intoxicated/roofies/drugs them and no consent can be given because they're passed out or whatever. I'm pretty sure most people would consider that rape. Or when you start out consensual and then decide you are not going to respect their boundaries and push them into acts they did not consent to. Like if you're banging someone and they tell you "stop, it hurts" and you ignore them and keep going - you've crossed a boundary when they said "stop."
