| There's contradictions within Milo's speech in and of itself. | |
| So for example, when Milo is talking about how there is no rape epidemic on campus, that rape essentially doesn't exist on college campuses, and obviously he's using entirely false facts. | |
| Well, obviously his facts are false and your facts are correct. | |
| But the thing is, I am such an asshole that I can't just take your word for it. | |
| I've got to go and check. | |
| I imagine that Milo was using this special report done by the US Department of Justice on rape and sexual assault victimization rates among college-age females between 1995 and 2013. | |
| This study found that young women between 18 and 24 who were students were safer than those who were not students. | |
| The rates of completed rape, attempted rape, sexual assault, or the threat of rape and sexual assault were 7.6 per thousand female students. | |
| And for young women enrolled in college, this went down to 6.1 per thousand students. | |
| This is less than 1%. | |
| These are facts we can be certain of. | |
| The only thing that is left out of these facts are the number of unreported sexual assaults and rapes, because obviously these are the reported ones. | |
| And this is where hard data stops and social science begins. | |
| Our feminist activist will be quoting from sources like this. | |
| A report on the Association of American Universities Campus Climate Survey on sexual assault and sexual misconduct. | |
| Respondents were asked whether one or more of these sexual contacts occurred as a result of four tactics. | |
| One, physical force or threat of physical force. | |
| Two, being incapacitated because of drugs, alcohol or being unconscious, asleep or passed out. | |
| Three, coercive threats of non-physical harm or promised rewards. | |
| And four, failure to obtain affirmative consent. | |
| The first two tactics generally meet legal definitions of rape and sexual battery. | |
| The other two tactics are violation of student codes of conduct. | |
| And it is unsurprisingly this massive inflation of what is and is not sexual assault that accounts for the one in five figure. | |
| Like they said, half of their categories don't even fall under the legal definition of sexual assault or rape. | |
| And failure to obtain affirmative consent doesn't even mean the person wasn't consenting. | |
| Therefore, including that in any results is going to be inherently misleading. | |
| And finally, these surveys are not facts. | |
| We do not know whether the answers given on them are true or false. |
