For example, the notion that 1 of every 3 women in America is a rape victim is nowhere close to being accurate. Statistics do vary on this subject but the statistical range from the FBI, the Dept. of Justice, and various support groups such as RAINN (Rape, Abuse, Incest National Network) is between 350,000-700,000 annually. (Note: The discrepancy in your 'evidence' that "most American women are raped" doesn't even agree with your 1-in-3 'statistic'.)

The "350K-700K annual rapes" stat does not refute the "1 in 3 women is a rape victim" stat. That's such obvious lying with statistics, it's almost laughable.
