Here are some statistics for you to consider:
* Out of every 1,000 sexual assaults, approximately 310 are reported to the police.
* Of those reported, only about 13 cases are referred to a prosecutor.
* Ultimately, only about 7 cases lead to a felony conviction.
* For every 100 rapes reported, only 18 result in an arrest.
* Fewer than 7% of reported rape cases lead to a conviction.
* In some studies, the conviction rate for rape has been reported as low as 3.2% in certain jurisdictions.

If you could imagine what girls and women go through, some on a daily basis, for years, since childhood, I think you might have a better understanding of why a "gossip app" might actually be a pretty sensible option for avoiding sexual assault and worse.
- mystraline 1y agoAnd as a man, do you know what happens when you report sexual assault? You get laughed at. Hard. So yeah, I'd like to see these broken down between cis-, hetero-, homo-, and trans-. And why are cis-lesbian-women also reporting higher numbers of sexual assault than man/woman relationship? No men in that relationship. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5511765/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5511765/ The rainn articles are propaganda with a specific slant.
- Aloisius 1y ago> And why are cis-lesbian-women also reporting higher numbers of sexual assault than man/woman relationship? No men in that relationship. I think you've misread that paper. The sexual assault survey wasn't limited to sexual assaults within a relationship or limited to one's sexual orientation. Lesbians can be sexually assaulted by men.
