Any statistic that begins with "1 in ..." is fucking worthless. It's a statistical average over a small sample size (100s, maybe 1000 if you're lucky) extrapolated to the ENTIRE POPULATION OF THE COUNTRY. And, like Ustwo said, we have no idea how that study itself was even conducted.
God I hate statistics like this.
Did you know that 1 in 4 college women are sexually assaulted?
Or that a sexual assault happens every 3.265 seconds in America?
FUCK YOU, STATISTICS ABUSING NEWS REPORTERS.
