It may seem weird that Tso would discuss rape in an email list for a Linux conf. But for some context, "Jacinta Richardson used published statistics to estimate the proportion of LCA attendees who might be sexual assault survivors". This discussion moved to the mailing list.
Tso provides some alternative ways of interpreting rape statistics such as this: "...if you asked the women involved, only 27% of the people categorized by Koss as being raped called it rape themselves."
Tso elaborates to clarify his interoperation of the data with this statement: "I am not diminishing what rape is, and or any particular person's experience. However, I *am* challenging the use of statistics that may be hyperbolic and misleading"
Continuing on rape and consent Tso says: "given that the survey was asking undergraduates...do you think that perhaps the numbers might be skewed by cases where both parties were drunk (and thus not legally able to know whether someone was legally able to give consent)?"
Again, Tso clarifies why he's making these statements. You may not agree with his interpretation of this data but he wrote it in a civil manner, citing the same studies that were presented by others.pic.twitter.com/0pXwWOGWkB
He even warns others of "anti-feminist ranting". "There is quite a bit of anti-feminist ranting in the article, which you should try to ignore while looking at the arguments"http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Rape_apology_on_LCA_mailing_list/Email_1 …
