you don't have to "feel" it.
i'm pretty sure that 33% or so is the actual statistic.

Because the majority of Alaskan Natives still live in Alaska, and rape rates are through the roof there, across the board. I grew up in the dead center of Alaska. It's ridiculous. Pretty sure every girl I know has been raped. Most of them a couple times.

Stop fearing people
Before you meet them
And don't keep enemies
Until you must defeat them
My country, love it or leave it
That's **** and I don't believe it
A decaying standard
And it's begging for a changeif I can be Devil's Advocate for a second, the definition of rape/molest is pretty vague.
Two drunk people hook up, that is rape.
You get slapped on the ass, that is molestation.Those are two of the mild examples of what rape and molestation count. Obviously there are the more serious violent, forced sex rapes, in addition to childhood molestation and whatnot, but to think that these more severe cases happen to 33% of the population is fear-mongering.
Hell, by the technical definition, I've been raped three times, and molested over 10 times a week. But for all practical reasons, I dont count it as rape.
I think we are simply seeing the knee-jerk counter reaaction to tradtional thinking: 30+ years ago, it was "blame the victim" when someone got raped, "she was asking for it" and stuff like that; now, we are overly sensitive and the definition has been broadened as to not exclude anyone, even if it includes things that shouldnt be there.

That really depends where you are. As I said, Alaska is terrible for that. The place is totally loaded with drunks, drug addicts, and violent criminals (many of whom came to alaska in the first place, running away from charges in other places). I know. I grew up there. I worked right in the heart of downtown Fairbanks for years and years. The rape rate there is more than 33%, i'm pretty sure, and the majority of that is, in fact, real cases of actual, violent, forced sex kind of rape. And that's why the American Indian/Alaskan rate mentioned in that earlier post is so high, compared to the others. Because the majority of the Alaskan Native population is in Alaska. And yeah, they're getting raped by drunks and drug addicts all the time.

regarding some types of molestation such as grabbing or teasing I don't know - they are very common.
HOWEVER:
you will never mistake it when you meet a REAL victim of rape - they are SO devastated that it is unmistakable.
One young Korean girl serving in the cafeteria on the Air Base - when a couple air men started making extremely rude suggestions in Korean she dropped the trays she was carrying and curled up on the floor in a ball.
I helped pick up the things and gave her a hand to sit down and got her some tea but it took a long time for her to come out of it.
she looked to me for help often after that and eventually we were a couple - but only so far because she had been raped by a G.I. and it was several years before she was comforable enough to become 'close' with a man.
eventually she had her confidence back again - after we had been together for about three years she discovered that her father was alive - part of the problem was she had thought all her family was dead - another story - the father had been working for a high official of the government who became targeted as unreliable. he and most of his associates disappeared.

Yeah. Most of the women I have met say that they have been molested or raped. So it is much higher than 1/3 in my experience. It really sucks.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.
