Kind of like how surveys say 1/3 women are raped while rape statistics say a fraction of a fraction of a percent.

This is definitely happening. I saw a news article talking about how two black women had assaulted a white woman, but then when you investigate, it turns out that the white "girl" was actually a dude trying to get into the women's bathroom.

Can I get a second opinion on this? Scroll to the bottom conversation.

Oh man, y'all. *facepalms.* That feminist who went to that protest a while back apparently went to a protest about gun violence, with about the same level murky, obscure goals. People sure like protesting things without providing solutions.

But fortunately someone put a comment on her post that made me smile. "An avalanche is formed from lots of individual Snowflakes."

...Just noticed the tags. Apparently "@EqualityEverywhere" has something to do with guns.

Its easy to come up with a solution. The difficulty is a solution that pisses less people off.
