A Few Notes on Those New Sexual Assault Statistics — The Curvature
Chances are, this morning, that you’ve seen the new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control statistics on sexual violence and domestic violence. Most notably, you’ve probably seen the new statistic that almost 1 in 5 women have experienced rape in their lifetimes.
That’s a terrifying statistic, though not a surprising one to those of us who have been involved in sexual violence work for some time. In light of this undeniably already awful news, it may seem cruel to point out that the reality is even worse than it initially appears from this soundbite. But I also think it’s necessary.
Firstly, I think it’s imperative to note that these new statistics are inherently cissexist. Definitions in this report assume that women have vaginas and men have penises. There are no individuals who are neither men nor women. Whether any trans* folks were interviewed for this survey is unclear. They may have been disqualified from participation or had their experiences filed under the incorrect statistics. Trans* folks are mentioned exactly once in the full 124 page National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey 2010 Summary Report (pdf); it is simply stated that services specifically for transgender people should be designed, with no accompanying information on their experiences or how they have or have not been included in this study. It is almost certain, in other words, that these statistics do not tell us anything about rates of violence against “women” and “men” but rather cis women and cis men.
Secondly, the definition of rape that is used in the NISVS is in one way unconventionally broad. In several other ways, the definition of rape being used is also woefully incomplete. The full sexual violence definitions used for this study appear below.

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don’t know where I am.”
The man consulted his portable GPS and replied,…
WHY do people use telephones when there’s perfectly good email available???

becoming the man my parents wanted me to be-
i don’t know if i can write this yet. but i’m hoping that eventually they will look at me and see everything they dreamed.
at the very core of my existence, i respect my existence. and yours.
i’m not telling you that i’m prolife, because that’s not a choice that’s mine.
i’m telling you that i will never call a girl a bitch. and that i will never say grow up when i look at a kid. and i’m saying that i will hold as many doors open as i have to for someone that never got a chance to. and i will give my change to the save the whoever foundation because at my foundation, change saved me, and maybe i can’t pay it back completely, but i can be this me.
i can be the guy that doesn’t expect anything. except for from me. because i know my capabilities and i know the whole world, at least in my head, is relying on me.
so anyways, to my parents- you are the best people that i know, thank you for making me.
