The radical leftist quasi, so-called LGBT and women’s rights fanatics at FCKH8 are using young cursing girls to help promote widely debunked myths of equal pay and phony statistics of sexual assault. The disgraceful video aims to sell offensive, self-promoting T-Shirts, the proceeds of which they claim go to “charity groups” that advocate for leftist causes.
“Facing a future where women are still paid 23% less than men for the same work, and where 1 in 5 women are raped or sexually assaulted in gender-based violence, little girls between 6 and 13 years-old dressed as pretty pink princesses drop F-bombs to draw attention to society’s continued sexism,” the group stated to describe the video.
It get’s worse.
“What’s more offensive? A little girl saying f*ck or the sexist way society treats girls and women?” one little girl, whom they refer to as a “little lady” says in the video. The group argues “little ladies wearing “sparkling tiaras” to represent “the princess in distress stereotype,” and repeatedly saying the F-word, shouldn’t be as offensive to society as “pay inequality” and “rape.” The ridiculous, yet exploitive video also features a 12 year-old boy wearing a pink gown saying, “When you tell boys not to ‘act like a girl,’ it’s because you think it’s bad to be a girl.”
Of course, most of these statistics are the very same phony statistics pushed by the Obama administration daily. We previously reported on the sexual assault numbers, the 1 in 5 figure comes from the 2005-2007 Campus Sexual Assault Study, which has also been widely debunked by academics, government organizations and even Washington Post fact-checker, Glenn Kessler. While Kessler highlighted that the so-called study was conducted at just two schools, which yielded a staggeringly low response rate for such a magnanimous claim, there are far more troubling irregularities.
In fact, to an outside observer, there is a clear ill-intent to obfuscate the truth for political gain.
Using the administration’s numbers, University of Michigan economist Mark Perry did the number crunching and found it’s more like 1 in 20 or 1 in 30. But even that may be too high because, considering the government’s own findings, the claims don’t even make sense. They arrive at a conclusion that — frankly — is impossible to know.
The Justice Department estimates that fewer than 5 percent of completed and attempted rapes of college women are reported to law enforcement officials. Worth noting — that is, if we want to actually pursue legitimate policy — that number is far below the rate for the country as a whole, where roughly 40 percent of all sexual assaults are reported.
For starters, two-thirds of the college women cited in the study and counted as rape victims were drug or alcohol related instances, with the victims themselves saying they did not think they were raped. Further, only a handful out of these particular “victims” even reported suffering from some psychological harm.
“Drug- and/or alcohol-enabled sexual assault,” which represented roughly 70 percent of all the “rape” incidents in the study, consisted of instances of unconsciousness or incapacitation, but also flat-out cases of intoxication. Just to clarify, getting drunk and making a bad decision is not the same as passing out and being sexually assaulted by a predator, man or woman. Intoxication can cloud a woman’s or man’s judgment and blur the lines of consent, as well as result in someone giving it who might have otherwise declined to give it.
On equal pay for women, when I say widely debunked, I mean widely debunked. Forbes, CBS News, the Washington Post, and even the Daily Beast all have addressed this myth in great detail. However, they all conclude one could only arrive at these phony numbers if they were to conveniently and unfairly exclude the unique differences between men and women.
