@ Chris troutman: What is the reason for these cleanup tags that you added to this article? Jarble ( talk) 21:15, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
The prevalence figure of 60.4% is presented as a bald fact. I would be interested in having a lot more details about the survey that gives this figure being explained in the article. Who conducted it? When, where how was it conducted? Who (which population segment) was surveyed? Is it an annual or a lifetime experience figure? Also, what is being counted when it says "rapes"? Is it the criminal acts, the sexual encounters, the offenders, or the victims and how is it being determined and assessed that it was a rape, i.e. what are the inclusion criteria, because if the proposition is that rape is not acknowledged by the victim, how does the survey determine that it really qualifies as a rape? Knowing this is important because without knowing how the figure is quantified it may understate the size of the issue. Could the true prevalence figure be different in different countries or jurisdictions? For example, how do I reconcile the reported figure with the most recent report today from New Zealand that says 75% of NZ people over 15 surveyed who identified they had an experience that amounted to a sexual assault in 2020 did not feel what happened to them was a crime, and less than 9% of those sexual assault experiences were reported to NZ Police.
Also, how do these figures compare with the comparable Police statistics? This would indicate that sexual crime could be understated by an order of magnitude or so. - Cameron Dewe ( talk) 08:16, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
There are quite a few dubious claims - two that leapt out "They (feminists) also began to challenge the notion that rape was solely the fault of the victim." So NO ONE before the 1970s ever thought that the man might sometimes be partly to blame? Really? … "During colonial times, sexual activity was still regulated by the church. As a result, rape was considered a crime against the man who "owned" the victimized female'"' I'm not even sure what the intended meaning here is. When did the church ever actually regulate sexual activity and how does that connects to either colonial times or "ownership". I'm sure there are real points here, but goodness knows what they are!
