The survey where men admitted they would rape someone if they could get away with it

[Cakescakescakes]

Can anyone link me to an article about this? I’m so sure I haven’t made it up but I can’t find it by googling. I’m sure it was a survey at an American university where a high number of the men surveyed (anonomously) said they would rape a woman if they knew 100% they wouldn’t be caught or punished.

There's a reddit thread similar.

Was quite a harrowing read.

I have the figure in my head that a third of them said they would? Which I’m sure is also even an underestimation as am sure some wouldn’t admit it even in an anonymous survey.

This news piece from Jezebel has the info and also links through to the actual research publication.

It was a tiny study though, so not terribly valid statistically speaking. It does make for worrying reading though.

Thanks yes that’s the one I was thinking of.

There are a couple mentioned here that show men dont link their attempts at forcible sex with rape, including a large scale study conducted by the UN.
They suggest that campaigns against rape dont reach them, because they dont think of themselves as rapists ;
