Shocking Statistic

I was perusing the top stories on Yahoo! News and came across this article. A male-on-male rape suspect has been detained and arrested on charges of aggravated robbery and aggravated sexual assault of a man. The police hope to charge him with the rape of four other men.

That's not really the shocking part. What blew my mind was at the end of the article.

The U.S. Justice Department says one in 33 men in the United States has been a victim of a rape or attempted rape, compared with one in six women.
One in SIX women!!! That means that someone you know, most likely, has been the victim of a violent sexual assault. That needs to change people. Somehow, that needs to change.
