lovely foods full of corn byproducts and poor diets, a really lovely healthcare system where preemptive care is a privilege instead of the standard, and a society where being worked to death is a virtue pretty much means reaching 80 will never happen for the vast majority of Americans

Oh boy, who wants to track down the blog he pulled numbers from this time?

He is probably referring to the National College Women Sexual Victimization (NCWSV) survey (1997), which found that 1.7% of women experienced rape over a single semester.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campus_rape#National_College_Women_Sexual_Victimization_.28NCWSV.29_survey_.281997.29

quote:

The National Institute of Justice pointed out in a report that this single estimate does not take into account variation between semesters and calculated, with caveats, that it can climb to between one-fifth and one-quarter over the course of a school career.

Emily Yoffe, writing for Slate noted that this approach is problematic, which the researchers also detail in their footnotes. It takes the 1.7% assault rate from the survey and makes mathematical projections that presume students are there for 60 months, and that their experience in the first year (the highest risk period) is the same for all 5 years. She then goes on to state "The one-fifth to one-quarter assertion would mean that young American college women are raped at a rate similar to women in Congo, where rape has been used as a weapon of war." A more accurate approach is a longitudinal study, like that of the 2014 Bureau of Justice Statistics report.

Day is not that lazy, he just has a tendency to sometimes be uncreative and recycle ideas. There is a big difference. You would never see Day having so little respect for his audience and his craft to pull the poo poo Gorell does.
