Title: Survey: 1 in 4 US women victims of severe violence (yeah, right)

ATLANTA (AP) — It's a startling number: 1 in 4 women surveyed by the government say they were violently attacked by their husbands or boyfriends.

Experts in domestic violence don't find it too surprising, although some aspects of the survey may have led to higher numbers than are sometimes reported.

Even so, a government official who oversaw the research called the results "astounding."

"It's the first time we've had this kind of estimate" on the prevalence of intimate partner violence, said Linda Degutis of the centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The survey, released by the CDC Wednesday, marks the beginning of a new annual project to look at how many women say they've been abused.

One expert called the new report's estimate on rape and attempted rape "extremely high" — with 1 in 5 women saying they were victims. About half of those cases involved intimate partners. No documentation was sought to verify the women's claims, which were made anonymously. [Documentation? We don't need no stinking documentation!!!! -PSUSA]

But advocates say the new rape numbers are plausible. [Of course they do. They're advocates! -PSUSA]

"It's a major problem that often is under-estimated and over-looked," said Linda James, director of health for Futures Without Violence, a San Francisco-based organization that advocates against domestic abuse.

The CDC report is based on a randomized telephone survey of about 9,000 women.

Among the findings:

— As many as 29 million women say they have suffered severe and frightening physical violence from a boyfriend, spouse or other intimate partner. That includes being choked, beaten, stabbed, shot, punched, slammed against something or hurt by hair-pulling.

— That number grows to 36 million if slapping, pushing and shoving are counted.

— Almost half of the women who reported rape or attempted rape said it happened when they were 17 or younger.

Several of the CDC numbers are higher than those of other sources. For example, the CDC study suggests that 1.3 million women have suffered rape, attempted rape or had sex forced on them in the previous year. That statistic is more than seven times greater than what was reported by a Department of Justice household survey conducted last year.

There may be several reasons for the differences, including how the surveys were done, who chose to participate and how "rape" and other types of assault were defined or interpreted, said Shannan Catalano, a statistician with the Bureau of Justice Statistics.

Well, rape does have a very subjective legal meaning. Doesn't it? It's a little fuzzy and means different things to different people...

I was thinking the same thing, but I don't want anyone here thinking I am a racist. That's a secret.

That, and the entire survey never was valid in the first place.

I guess even rapists know that boons have herpes at a 50+% rate in a lot of places. That doesn't count the other diseases they carry.

This is pure malarkey.

Never let a woman live with you if you are a man, the fact is with VAWA, they can and will drop a dime on you and you are out of your own house, but must continue to pay the mortgage while she freeloads.

Women are evil, with very few exceptions, unhappy, bitter, narcissistic, and dangerous, best to f*ck 'em and chuck 'em, pump and dump, etc. Never marry one and don't let them move in, both should be deal breakers.

now all the gov has to do is catalogue all the 'abusers' & confiscate their firearms. Its sad that so many americans turn on their family members & betray them to govt meddlers or police.

Thats the conclusion I came to, years ago. It's all risk and no benefit.

Women are funny creatures. At first I didnt understand them. That was because I thought they were straightforward with others, like men are. BIG MISTAKE!!! Holy shit was it a big mistake. But I learned, little by little.

1 in 4 US women victims of severe violence

Coincidentally, this is the exact number of women hopped up on psychotropics and the number should include the women committing the violence as well as receiving.

Yes it is, if crimes such as kidnapping, theft, false charges, were actually prosecuted my entire ex-family would be in jail, excepting me.

Yep, it really is mostly a slave/master type relationship, if you let them in.

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one.

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”

—Samuel Adams

Women are evil, with very few exceptions

If I judged all women based on the ones I have dated I might think the same thing. But I know many women that are not evil, they unfortunately are mostly married, but there are plenty of them, just like there are plenty of men that are not evil. Hating the opposite sex is exactly what the elite want us common folk to do. Just like you can't judge an entire race or group based on a few members, you can't judge an entire sex based on a few.

No, don't hate women, just tired of being hated by women for being a man.

Western culture is a man hating culture.

A good woman in this culture is a rare find, but possible.

I agree with you regarding the elites, and they have accomplished their goal mostly with the consent of most females and a good number of ..........ahem......menz.

And those "men" don't realize that women will want them more if they don't cater to them. THey are so used to being chased that it throws them off guard when men dont act like subservient idiots for them.

I blame the "men" more than the women, myself.
