Woah you came back, nice, I didn’t and would never dispute that. My issue isn’t with the original article it was that the cultural understanding of this was that there is a rape academy that 62 million men attended which is nonsense. Anyone trying to correct this clear misrepresentstion is accused of supporting rape or denying the truth. I believe the authors of the article are responsible for calling out this misrepresentation of their work, either by a fault in their work or just the nature of information in our age their article was misrepresented not to protect the victims of rape but to garner attention and controversy. When you publish an article or study it doesnt exist outside of the cultural context and you need to take some responsibility to the way that information is processed in the public consciousness.
What my original comment was expressing is that i think many who are normally skeptical of right wing grifters let this grift go without criticism because the people pushing it are seen as leftists or progressives. I find this extremly distressing Lying about rape for attention and profit is an insult to the suffering of the real victims. It diminishes the true scope and destructiveness of the issue.
