25 years old and deep in debt

What makes you say that?

IIRC the stat is based on a survey that asked if you have ever been raped or the object of unwanted sexual advances. 

Think about it, do you really think that one out of four women you know have been raped?

[Eddie Teach]

99% of women have been the object of unwanted sexual advances, the rest are either hideously ugly or locked up in their parents' house.

It really doesn't seem particularly far-fetched.

Selection bias, Mr. Rapist.

College is a predator's paradise. You have a bunch of young, naive girls concentrated in one place mixed with drugs and alcohol. People are just not  mentally equipped to deal with assault, let alone stress. And institutional rules and procedures for prevention/prosecution suck. It is very easy to rape or molest someone and popularly get away with it. There is just so much opportunity.

I literally picked up a passed out girl I didn't know from the side of the road and put her in my car (for eventual transportation to hospital).

Are American males like Arabs? Non-rhetorical.

This thread just got creepy.

Well of course. I'd wager most women would say they have been the object of unwanted sexual advances (not that such is a good thing), I've certainly been too.

I think it is just our usual numbskulls who don't realize (yet again) when they are taking it too far.

Dating violence, including date rape and domestic violence, is a perpetual and tangible threat on residential campuses, but those numbers may be a bit out there.

On the other hand, campuses have also long known how to play games with the reporting statistics for Clery Act compliance.

(Bear in mind that my perspective on the matter is that of a law grad, not an engineer, but I'd suspect the same principles apply.  And I understand there is a social good involved in giving scholarships to people who would probably have no problem taking out and paying off their loans.  That said, the cost of a social good should not be borne primarily by a group that is not only small, and not only possessed of worse odds in making it, but in direct competition with the fucker they're providing assistance to.  To the extent scholarship money comes from private third parties or the government, it's positive; to the extent it relies on cross-subsidization, it's abominable.)

Is it not reasonable that the superior be subsidized by the inferior?

This is the internet, you faggot-moron.  If I have to live in a world where people like you and Martinus aren't burned to death on sight, then I can survive pervy kids mocking the over-reporting of sexual assault.

Hey if you like hanging out with douche-bags have at it.
