Hi guys,
I do a debate podcast and I’m prepping research for a women’s rights topic. As I go about my due diligence, I’m interested in learning more about what you all to say, so if there is any information you’d like to point to for me to look at, I’d appreciate the suggestions. The podcast also has us look at alternative and opposing viewpoints during our Devil’s Advocate segment. I was wondering about the graph “The Truth About False Accusation” where the data for the number of rapists comes from, seeing that it might be difficult to enumerate on the number of rapists if they aren’t claimed in the first place. The last segment is called Red Pen / Black Pen in which we offer constructive solutions to the problem and in seeing that graph I’d need to know the degree of verisimilitude because in light of the Rolling Stone incident, my belief is that facts and figures must follow particular methods and withhold to a greater degree in accuracy if we as women rights advocates are to restore faith in the claims of rape victims.
