For 1 in 16 US women, their first experience with sexual intercourse was rape, study says

This is quite astonishing along with the claim that 40% of women have experienced sexual assault.

It also fits into the Brett Kavanaugh issue where the system has demonstrated that women who claim sexual assault will have their character vigorously impugned by people in power.

"The average age of women who experienced forced sexual initiation was 15.6."

"Wife of Trump aide: Women in military should expect sexual harassment." That is astonishing.

Wife of Trump aide: Women in military should expect sexual harassment

(CNN)More than 3.3 million American women ages 18 to 44 were raped the first time they had sexual intercourse, according to a new study, and "all demographic groups reported substantial roles of forced sexual initiation."
The study, published Monday in the medical journal JAMA Internal Medicine, notes the World Health Organization recognizes forced sexual initiation -- "an unwanted first sexual intercourse that is physically forced or coerced" -- as a distinct form of sexual violence.
"We feel it is accurate to describe these events as rape," said Dr. Laura Hawks, a primary care physician and research fellow at Harvard Medical School who co-authored the study.
The study says that 6.5% of women surveyed had an unwanted first sexual intercourse that was forced or coerced and it "appears to be common." Researchers estimated that to be 1 in 16 US women.
The average age of women who experienced forced sexual initiation was 15.6. The average age of the partner or assailant at the time was 6 years older. Among women whose first sexual intercourse was voluntary, the average age was 17.4.

Some 50% of women surveyed said the perpetrator was larger or older. More than 46% of the women were held down. In 56% of the instances, men used verbal pressure. Men used a physical threats more than 26% of the time and caused physical harm in more than 25% of the instances. Some 22% of the women were drugged.
Survivors faced long-term consequences, such as increased rates of HIV, sexually transmitted diseases, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis and menstrual problems. More than 30% said they had an unwanted first pregnancy, while 24% said they had ever had an abortion in their lifetime -- higher percentages than among women whose first sexual intercourse was voluntary.

Earlier research has shown that more than 40% of women have experienced some form of sexual violence in their lifetime, and half of those have been raped. The authors of this study said there is no recent data focused on first experiences with intercourse. The survey included 13,310 women and was nationally representative of the population age 18 to 44. The data came from the National Survey of Family and Growth from 2011 to 2017.
"A practicing physician is likely to see several patients each week who have experienced this form of trauma," the authors wrote in the study, saying doctors should develop tools to identify and help people who've experienced it.

Brett Kavanaugh raped 1 in 16 women? Did you push his drunken penis into the "raped" women?
 
Link? You might also want to look into the amount of times men who actually committed rape lied about it to the police, the courts, and others.
Link? What's the matter? You refuse to believe that alcohol is frequently the third party in a menage a trois?

And I don't need to go study the issue of men lying about rape. It's evident just as women lie about rape.
 
What I find very fascinating is the acceptance and pride of a one night stand. It's that attitude that causes a lot of abortions. A man has his "wild time" then walks away without looking back to see what he has caused.
LOOK, Little Boy, no one has talked about pride or one night stands. Outside your delicate little snowflake bubble-world, we used to call them DATES. Consensual dates. A wild time was a good time, when people could actually have fun without your fucking childish liberal guilt attempted rammed down their throats. Where a date goes after that first night is up to the consenting individuals, you make it sound like the woman was forcibly brutalized, knocked up instantly, and dumped. IT WAS A FUCKING DATE, asshole. People had fun, it was no big deal. The girl was into it, and whether it became a lasting relationship was up to BOTH of them. Get over your childish crying and GROW UP.

Meanwhile an alarming amount of women's first sexual experience is rape
Prove it. I don't believe it. Not in my day. If that is happening now, it is you whackjob leftists who are doing all the raping. HOW is all this raping going on yet none of it ever gets reported???

and the far right radical extremists come up with so many excuses for it.
There is no need for excuses or to blame the girls. Conservative guys are generally upstanding, clean-cut, well-raised, if there is any debauchery going on, you can be sure it is being done by the same freakazoid leftard kooks that show no respect for America, the flag, the president, the constitution, the election process, property, individual rights and opinions, or anything else, people like you?
 
Who cries rape when both are drunk?
A woman would and has, after both parties have been drinking. There are lots of cases where the sex was consensual at the time but after the fact the woman claims rape because she was inebriated.
Go research the issue.

Link? You might also want to look into the amount of times men who actually committed rape lied about it to the police, the courts, and others. This article was based on trial transcripts in the Brock Turner case:

Brock Turner laughed after bystanders stopped Stanford sex assault, files show

The documents also reveal that Turner allegedly laughed at bystanders who intervened during the assault on the Stanford campus. Turner changed his story throughout the process and came to trial with a version of the events that contradicted his earlier statements and the testimony of witnesses and police.​
You are basically saying criminals lie about their innocence

Shocker
 
10 out of 15 were like Ford... lying pieces of shit.

Now, now, that is DOCTOR Ford.

LOL.
No, she was not a doctor nor a phd even. That came our 2 weeks into the storm of the Blasey-Ford controversy and after several of her false claims in her speech were made clear. In fact her entire narrative was devised and not in the real world. What made people look up her detailed speech assertions was her body language that was consistent with lying and was inconsistent with someone telling the truth.
