Good work, Callie.
Good framing with the recent interest in sexual assault at colleges.
Do you have a PDF version of a paper where you go beyond
one-variable stratifications (which are the right starting point).
I am thinking you probably estimated a logit model where age and the
other factors are all considered at the same time,
and see what comes in as most significant after age.
Although it would quickly get too technical for an op-ed, probably.

Brava! Callie, good work! I hope your studies help to open more dialogue about the issues of violence, especially sexual violence, against women in this country. We seem to have more than our share of it in this nation.
So glad to see the work you are doing, thank you

Great work Callie, so very proud of you! May this article be another piece of the puzzle that helps to end this despicable aspect of our society.

Outstanding work, and well-deserved recognition, Callie. I, too, would be interested in any multivariate statistics. While it doesn't surprise me (sad to say), it still saddens me that sexual assault and rape are two more indignities that the poorest women experience disproportionately.

This is important work and it's fantastic to have the opportunity to get it out to such a wide audience through the NYT.
Congratulations on the work and the high profile publication.

Kind of odd that that the only metric for rape cited in this article was income---- but not all that surprising, given that we are talking NY Times here.
That rape is more common amonst the economically and socially "disadvantaged" is not news.
Who funded this eye-opening revelation? Not the taxpayer I hope.

Thanks Callie. Rape and molestation are the primary underlying traumas in most of the women I treat as a therapist. The trauma can hang on for decades. More awareness equals more possibilities that women will come in for treatment. It is a very isolating trauma, especially with the blame the victim stance so common in our culture.

The Rolling Stone pieces was beyond " faulty" in that it was a total fabrication.And as far as I know, they have refused to retract the lie they knowingly published.
At least Crimpergirl's piece contains a germ of truth---although highly simplified, and something we already know.

Go ahead and take a whack at explaining how you know this to be true?
WTF is a rape metric?

I know it's true because Crimpergirl's research verifed what I already know to be true.
You don't know what a "metric" means when used in this context?

Most research doesn't yield a surprise.
Usually the goal is to carefully quantify what is going on,
and hopefully relate it to observable factors.
