Re "If you're female and attending those colleges, you have a 1 in 4 chance of being raped":
Unless US colleges are effectively war zones (which is where you do get such high proportions of women being sexually assaulted) my natural scepticism inclines me to take the 25 per cent figure with a large pinch of salt. That 1 in 4 statistic has been questioned. If you Google the figures (as I just did) you get loads of sites which take the figures as literally exact and lots of sites insisting that they are hopelessly exaggerated. Which way they lean seems to say more about the posters' prejudices than it does about hard facts. I haven't the time to wade through the arguments of the different positions taken or to do the maths - have you? If not, don't quote stats you can't back up. It isn't going to help the solution.
