[QUOTE="Kenny Coyote, post: 216176, member: 102"] OK here is a similar video and they do talk about a few statistics of rape but I don't know if it's the exact video where they get into what percentage of rape victims are men and what percentage are women. It's still an interesting and fun show. I watched several of these approximately half a year ago and was impressed with the host of the show's ability to debate. Even this isn't that exact video, it covers the same type of topic. What I found interesting about it is that this is a man who goes to college campuses and discusses social issues with the students in the format of: "Change My Mind." He presents a viewpoint and then he invites college students to present their view in an attempt to try to change his mind on various social issues. It's quite disappointing to see how poorly these college students are able to form a cogent argument about a topic in which they're very interested. Notice how the college students argue from emotion while the host of the show argus from logic an backs up what he says with statistics. This is titled "Rape Culture Is A Myth - Change My Mind." At the same time it's fascinating display of how poor a job our colleges are doing of teaching their students to present a valid argument. The students tend to get very emotional, they repeatedly present anecdotal evidence while the host remains his composure and presents empirical data to back up his opinion.
