    It’s reasonable to say that it was bleak. It is not reasonable to say that it is bleak. This historical data does not reflect current trends.

    Thats the conclusion which should’ve been included within op’s statement. Honestly such an outdated statistic is a poor indication of the status quo - because it isn’t the status quo. OP may imply various repeated statements however it doesn’t magically supplement the facts and statistics which exist today.

    Within the research scene, OPs statement would be framed as misinformation due to its age - this factor alone is responsible here, so there is no room in twisting the logic here.

        Just because it has decreased doesn’t mean that rape and sexual assaults don’t happen to teenagers and children anymore.

        Yet again, you’re missing the point. This conclusion was already stated by countless of oppositions to your argument.

        The main point is the fact that your research is invalid to explain the status quo - its the logic thats the problem not that “rape has somehow evaporated from existence”.

            The data in question does not support that point.

            That doesn’t mean the point is invalid.

            Including this particular data detracts from this point. Either find a point that this data does support, or don’t use this particular data.
