"Study"-Evil college men got rape on their minds!-----Think ‘1 in 5′ is bad? Try ‘1 in 3!’

Think ‘1 in 5′ is bad? Try ‘1 in 3!’
A University of North Dakota study purports to show that one out of every three men would rape if they could get away with it.

As you may surmise, there are quite a few issues with the study.
The first is that the study’s sample was quite small: 73 men from one university (UND) who, for what it’s worth, were given extra credit for participating.
Second, 13 percent — nine men — said flat-out they would actually rape a woman.

The Washington Examiner reports:

The study is further tainted because it begins with a false premise — the often-repeated but thoroughly debunked statistic that one in five women will be raped during their college years. Researchers also “debriefed” participants after the study by “address[ing] rape myths.” Given the researchers’ propensity to believe the one-in-five myth, it’s anyone’s guess what sort of “rape myths” they were addressing and whether they were myths or just facts.The study’s lead researcher, Sarah Edwards, an assistant professor of counseling psychology, told Newsweek that her study shows men would rape if it’s not called rape. “The No. 1 point is there are people that will say they would force a woman to have sex but would deny they would rape a woman,” Edwards said.

Examiner writer Ashe Snow is quite skeptical: “Even in a world where college men take everything seriously, nine guys does not equal a mass epidemic of would-be rapists. A more sound reading is that nine college boys didn’t take the survey too seriously.”

Further, the margin of error in the study is quite significant......"
