What do you do when your false claims and hysteria start to get discredited?

That's right- you double down on that shit. The Washington Post has a new article whose breathless headline reads "1 in 5 College Women Say They Were Violated"
http://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/local/2...-violated/
Of course it is filled with the usual anecdotes and tropes:
1. He drugged me!
2. I led on a beta male and then freaked out when he awkwardly made a move on me. It was soooo creeeepy!
3. Massaging language to make "Yes means Yes" the new standard.
4. Woman regrets encounter- it must have been rape.
5. The Double Down
Below are some of the women featured in the article, would you bang?

Quote:Quote:
A 21-year-old at a public university in the Southeast who participated in the poll said she was raped by a male student who escorted her out of a nightclub after she suddenly became woozy and separated from a group of friends. Someone, she suspects, had slipped a drug into her rum drink.
2. I led on a beta male and then freaked out when he awkwardly made a move on me. It was soooo creeeepy!
Quote:Quote:
She was in the front passenger seat. Suddenly he lunged forward, MacPherson recalled, grabbed her head and hair violently and tried to kiss her. “Get your hands off me!” she yelled.
The struggle continued until MacPherson managed to open the door and flee. “Immediately I knew,” she said. “That was sexual assault.”
She didn’t report the attack to authorities. But through an intermediary, she told the man’s fraternity. “I wanted him to get a wake-up call,” she said. “I never expected that from my friend.”
3. Massaging language to make "Yes means Yes" the new standard.
Quote:Quote:
The date rapist — someone who ignored a “no” or never sought a “yes” — contrasted with the stereotype of the rapist as a predator lurking in the dark.
4. Woman regrets encounter- it must have been rape.
Quote:Quote:
“I woke up the next morning without any pants on,” the woman said, “and without any recollection.” A few weeks later, she said, the man “made a comment about wanting to see me again and do what he did before. It led me to believe we had some sort of sexual contact.”
If so, the woman said, it was without her consent; she was incapacitated.
“I was in no state of mind” to say yes to sex, she said. “The memory is so, so foggy.”
5. The Double Down
Quote:Quote:
Overhanging the debate are questions about the extent of the problem. President Obama, relying in large part on a 2007 federally funded study of students at two unidentified public universities, said last year that “an estimated one in five women has been sexually assaulted during her college years.”
Skeptics call that statistic misleading, citing a 2014 study from the federal Bureau of Justice Statistics that found college women were victims of rape or sexual assault at an annual rate of 6.1 per 1,000. Non-students, the BJS said, were raped or sexually assaulted more often than students. The 2007 and 2014 studies differed significantly in methodology. The earlier survey, by RTI International, asked about specific scenarios of unwanted sexual contact. The BJS study, more focused on crime, asked directly about rape, attempted rape and other sexual attacks. Last year, a blue-ribbon panel said it was “highly likely” the BJS method underestimates victimization.
The Post-Kaiser poll used questions and definitions similar to those in the 2007 study. The poll’s margin of sampling error overall was plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. For answers from women or men only, it was five points.
