(4,035 posts)I posted about two categories, one of which was a sub-category of the other. Violent crimes - includes both punching in the face and rape. That's where the difference in number of victims was. In serious violent crimes, not so big difference. So NuclearDem pointed out that a punch in the face (i.e., violent crimes, where you had 25% more male victims) wasn't as bad as rape (i.e., serious violent crimes, where the difference in numbers was .1 percentage point.) You were the one who misunderstood, and posted the definition of aggravated assault, and said that in some states, some types of aggravated assault is considered worse than some types of rape, even after someone who has experienced both told you that she considered rape worse. That is dismissing the experience of a rape survivor, and that is rape apologia.
