One of every six women and one in thirty-three men has been a victim of attempted or completed rape in her lifetime.
Ages 12-34 are the highest risk years for rape and sexual assault.3
Those age 65 and older are 92% less likely than 12-24 year olds to be a victim of rape or sexual assault, and 83% less likely than 25-49 year olds.
As of 1998, 2.78 million men in the U.S. had been victims of attempted or completed rape.
91% of victims of rape and sexual assault are female, and nine percent are male
In the U.S., one in three women and one in six men experienced some form of contact sexual violence in their lifetime.
Almost half (49.5%) of multiracial women and over 45% of American Indian/Alaska Native women were subjected to some form of contact sexual violence in their lifetime
The Republican leader doesn't care about the country. His power is all he is interested in and it has ruined the American democracy. He has singularly and unilaterally changed the rules of the US Senate. He lies and expects Americans to be stupid enough to believe him.
US Senator Mitch McConnell needs an ethics investigation and where he has broken Senate rules that are also acts of criminality, his actions need to be examined for prosecution.
If you accept the science of space travel and other planets, then the domestic climate crisis is as valid.

On Thursday, Oct. 4, 2018, two Columbia University researchers reported their results that the potential exomoon would be the size of Neptune or Uranus. The exoplanet, about 8,000 light-years away, is as big as Jupiter. (Dan Durda via AP)

Scientists say they may have found the first moon (click here) outside our solar system.
Many planets are known to exist beyond our solar system. But there has been no confirmation of a moon on the outside.
The possible moon appears considerably larger than Earth and is 8,000 light years away. Astronomers say the object is about the size of the planet Neptune. It orbits a planet that is similar in size to the large planet Jupiter.
Alex Teachey and David Kipping of Columbia University recently presented their findings.
The researchers studied 284 planets discovered by NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope. Only one planet, Kepler-1625b, held promise of a possible moon. That planet orbits the star Kepler-1625.
Last October, the researchers aimed the Hubble Space Telescope at the star to study the possibility of a moon nearby.
They were looking for momentary light decreases from the star. The planet itself blocks the light temporarily when it passes in front of Kepler-1625. A second lesser decrease could mean a moon was passing as well.
The astronomers observed such a sign about 3 ½ hours after the planet passed the star....
