@sapinker Would love it if you could offer further comment. I think many are construing your tweet as endorsement of that columnist's POV.

@lorakolodny why wouldn't it be? I'm sure an academic like@sapinker can recognize inflated statistics. Media seems to be catching on too. -
@LibertarianBlue@sapinker rape is probably under reported actually-- rape of men in prison system for example not counted in crime stats. -
@lorakolodny Many crimes are under reported. That doesn't mean you can come up with nonsense like the "1 in 4" statistic.@sapinker -
@LibertarianBlue@sapinker and certainly no "rape culture" at Princeton (etc.) http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/she-the-people/wp/2013/03/06/wishing-rape-on-campus-away-wont-make-it-so/ … ok done helping you get informed. -
@lorakolodny@sapinker another junk "study" with facepalmingly flawed methodology (http://bit.ly/1gJJ7OI ) and 3 isolated cases? Really?

Ironically, 2 out of 3 of RAINN's tactics combat rape culture: bystander intervention & education about consent.

@sapinker Sexual assault happens daily to many high school girls. They don't report it. It's easier to accept it. Is that not rape culture? - 1 more reply

Mr. Pinker, Rape Culture, is indicative where violent sexual acts start - in the mind. Similarly, David Livingstone Smith, asserts that Dehumanization starts in the mind (e.g. racism, otherism) not always leading to violent acts - yet resulting in many (e.g. slavery, lynchings).
