: Does it reazlly matter...DO you think in your tiny little mind...that :every woman who is assaulted or raped tells some one...Or calls up :gallup...Jesus...man have a heart..the point is that women are attacked on :a daily basis
He was just saying that the numbers were a little exaggerated...he didn't say that the shit didn't occur, or that it was somehow less of a tragedy. And he surely didn't say women aren't attacked on a daily basis. And just for the record, PEOPLE are attacked on a daily basis. Alas, I realize you're posting in the heat of an emotional debate, and hence its easy to falsely read into some guys post.
And yes, I realize if the 'actual' numbers are 1:5 or something, it doesn't make any difference. My POINT was that you're arguing with the guy over something he didn't say.
