And, a reminder of this,
the grand-daddy of all the Liberal "facts"....."
7." For years, advocates for colleges to do more to prevent and punish sexual assault on campus have
cited a 2007 federal statistic that one in five female students experience sexual assault in college. President Obama and members of Congress have used the statistic, as have many others." New survey finds 1 in 5 college women have experienced sexual assault | InsideHigherEd
" It is possible because
false claims about male domestic violence are ubiquitous and immune to refutation."

Could the Liberal liars be after women's votes...and not care how they get 'em?
Could be.
a. " At first glance, one might conclude that
the risk of rape victimization for college women is not high; “only” about 1 in 36 college women (2.8 percent) experience a completed rape or attempted rape in an academic year. ... The figures measure victimization for slightly more than half a year (6.91 months).
Projecting results beyond this reference period is
problematic for a number of reasons, such as assuming that the risk of victimization is the same during summer months and remains stable over a person’s time in college. However, if the 2.8 percent victimization figure is calculated for a 1-year period,
the data suggest that nearly 5 percent (4.9 percent) of college women are victimized in any given calendar year. Over the course of a college career—which now lasts an average of 5 years—the percentage of completed or attempted rape victimization among women in higher educational institutions
might climb to between one-fifth and one-quarter."

Did you note terms like 'projecting,' and 'problematic,' and 'suggest,' and 'might'?
Liberals eat this stuff up.
And, this just in!
b. "A
new report on sexual assault released today by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) officially puts to bed
the bogus statistic that one in five women on college campuses are victims of sexual assault. In fact, non-students are 25 percent more likely to be victims of sexual assault than students, according to the data. And the real number of assault victims is
several orders of magnitude lower than one-in-five.
The
full study,which was published by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, a division within DOJ, found that
rather than one in five female college students becoming victims of sexual assault, the actual rate is 6.1 per 1,000 students, or 0.61 percent(instead of 1-in-5, the real number is 0.03-in-5). For non-students, the rate of sexual assault is 7.6 per 1,000 people."
