Sometimes, Tab, such numbers are exaggerated to "compensate" for the difficulty of securing reliably honest answers to such questions from the public.

 

I think 3/4 is pretty exaggerated. Although it may depend on where one draws the boundaries geographically.

A priest told me, curiosing, at a young men of god conference i just attended. And he did say estimated. 

Unsure if it's always been that high or just something that has crept into western society since the introduction of moving pictures and the rise of the free masons. Perhaps they have always been the figures outside of Christendom. Women i have talked to this week have verified it as a good estimation from all the friends they have known and talked to about it, both of them not being practicing Christians. 

It really peeves me though because When Yaweh created eve he exlaimed " finally, flesh from my flesh and bone from my bone" i believe from this passage that the body of a women is the highest of all Gods created flesh and should be respected as such.

I misquoted the priest, he didn't say are abused he said "have been abused"

 

Check out the question i have asked in the question answer forum as well about sexual sins of such nature.

I think 3/4 is pretty exaggerated. Although it may depend on where one draws the boundaries geographically.

 

--I think the problem with the 3/4 number is how things are counted.  I think some women are counted twice.

 

--I also believe that people set the threshold very low; eg, being catcalled by a high-school boy walking to class

 

--On the other hand you have people who were raised and conditioned that some things were not wrong; eg it's "ok" to let creepy uncle rub your thighs.

 

--And you're right, it's by population.  For lower class people, especially those caught in a cycle of poverty (and violence) it's fairly safe to say that it's 100%. 

 

--Single parents (now well over 50%) with partners other than a child's father/mother are far more likely to have an abused child...so that factors in culturally.

 

--Based on a self-reporting freshman survey, however, at my college (which catered mostly to rich students) the females still reported a 50% rate of significant sexual or physical violence to themselves or directly witness and the males around 25%.   This was at a college where the average parental income was well into the six figures.  That is except for the athletes or scholarship kids...but athletes and scholarship kids made up less than 20% of the population.

 

 

So basically, yes I believe the figure of 3/4 if you set the definitions low and realize that there's a lot more poor people than rich ones.  I'd say somewhere between 2/3 and 3/4.

"Have been abused" makes all the difference. As does where one sets the bar, as blazeingstar suggests.

[Tab'le De'Bah-Rye]

unsure about where your putting the bar, this is accross the board rich or poor or middle class, black, white and brown, it is actual physical and sexual abuse not wolf whistling by the way or being oppressed emotionally though mind trippers are bad there not evil, i assume you have grown up christian in a christian family most of the world hasn't and some of the church is probably not even christian(followers of christ [the way]) unsure what they are, but of course i think most inside the church are following the way to the best of there knowledge and understanding with grace. So of course it is probably in the church as well but to a way lesser degree, though i dread on the increase in holy mother church since the early 1900s.

 

And blazing star is that school, public, private or catholic?
