One out of every six American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime.   Only one in 50 women who have been raped reports the crime to the police. 
Although both women and men may be victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking, women are the victims of the vast majority of these crimes. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, more than 85% of violent victimizations by intimate partners between 1993 and 1998 were perpetrated against women. Women are between 13 and 14 times more likely than men to be raped or sexually assaulted; for instance, in 1994, 93% of sexual assaults were perpetrated against women. Four of five stalking victims are women. Data on male victimization do not show that males experience comparable victimizations and injury levels, do not account for women who act in self defense, and do not measure financial control, intimidation, and isolation used by perpetrators of domestic violence against women.
The gender issue is foremost in sexual assault issues, and is usually background in general victimization. The unique cultural bias and shaming that accompanies rape cases needs its own focused opposition. The history of rape law is a history of the law used as a tool to protect rapists, rather than the raped. The anti-rape movement confronts, as it must, the cultural myths that uniquely exist in the context of rape. Manipulation of these myths, along with humiliation and victim blaming, are typical informal defenses to rape charges. Blaming victims in rape cases may be an effective means to secure acquittal. In contrast, blaming a robbery victim is typically ineffective because robbery is unaccompanied by the same pernicious cultural myths. The nature of stigma and abuse in rape cases is profound and unique, a criminal process that mistreats and excludes other types of victims also inflicts secondary victimization. 
In 2002, there were 247,730 victims of rape, attempted rape or sexual assault.  One out of every six American women have been the victims of an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime (14.8% completed rape; 2.8% attempted rape). A total of 17.7 million women have been victims of these crimes.  In 2002, one in every eight rape victims were male.   93% of juvenile sexual assault victims knew their attacker; 34.2% were family members and 58.7% acquaintances. Only seven percent of the perpetrators were strangers to the victim.  

One of the most startling aspects of sex crimes is how many go unreported. The most common reasons given by victims for not reporting these crimes are the belief that it is a private or personal matter and that they fear reprisal from the assailant. 
•	In 2001, only 39% of rapes and sexual assaults were reported to law enforcement officials — about one in every three.  [1999 NCVS]
•	Approximately 66% of rape victims know their assailant.  
•	Approximately 48% of victims are raped by a friend or acquaintance; 30% by a stranger; 16% by an intimate; 2% by another relative; and in 4% of cases the relationship is unknown.  
•	About four out of ten sexual assaults take place at the victim’s own home. More than half of all rape/sexual assault incidents were reported by victims to have occurred within one mile of their home or at their home. 
•	In one study, 98% of males who raped boys reported that they were heterosexual.  
•	Rapists are more likely to be serial criminals than serial rapists. In one study, 46% of rapists who were released from prison were rearrested within 3 years of their release for another crime -- 18.6% for a violent offense, 14.8% for a property offense, 11.2% for a drug offense and 20.5% for a public-order offense.    
•	61% of rapes/sexual assaults are not reported to the police. Those rapists, of course, never serve a day in prison.  
So, even in the 39% of attacks that are reported to police, there is only a 16.3% chance the rapist will end up in prison. Factoring in unreported rapes, about 6% of rapists—1 out of 16— will ever spend a day in jail. 15 out of 16 will walk free.  
Rapist are predators. Just like animal predators, they seek out the weakest and/or most vulnerable prey. Rape is not about sex, it is an act of brutal violence. Rape causes pain and suffering in the victim that may last a lifetime. It eats away at the soul and destroys the quality of life.  FBI estimates indicate that only 10 percent of rapes are reported. Of those reported, in less than 25 percent are the rapists arrested. Of those arrested, only about 3 percent are charged. Of those charged, no more than 35 percent are convicted. In other words, most rapists are not caught.   According to The National Coalition Against Sexual Assault false rape reports only happen 2% of the time. That\&rsquo;s a 98% chance that no matter how strange it sounds to you the rape isn\&rsquo;t being fabricated. Delayed reports also are common, particularly in acquaintance rapes. The majority of mental health professionals surveyed (84 %) agreed that contact with social service providers re-traumatizes rape victims.   
Some reasons why women do not report rape seem are the fear of: 
1)	Ridicule 
2)	Personal questions asked by police investigators 
3)	Humiliating medical examinations 
4)	Publicity 
5)	Testifying in court 
6)	Fear that sexual past will come out in court 
7)	The victim has the burden to prove that the attack was forced, against her will, and that she resisted the attack. 
8)	Justice system\&rsquo;s inability to put the criminal away 
9)	Retaliation from assailant or his friends
These are real concerns that must be overcome before rapists may be brought to justice. Rape statistics show that Rapists are on an ascending scale of violence with each assault.  More than 50% of all rapes occur in the home of the victim.  More than 93% of the time, the assailant and the victim are of the same race.]]>

I&rsquo;m not sure what possesses people to say stuff like that to female mathematicians, really. 

Anyhow, the point is that yes, there is some gender disparity in math skills, but if you do the math, it simply doesn&rsquo;t add up: those differences simply cannot explain why there are so few women in computer science (or in open source software, or in physics, or whatever).  

Many people misunderstand or abuse the information we have about gender and ability differences.  Hopefully this presentation will explain what the data really says (which isn&rsquo;t very much).]]>

One way of doing this is through pre-implantation genetic diagnosis or PGD. In PGD, the embryo is screened before being placed into your uterus. PGD is also the most expensive form of gender selection. Aside from being expensive, pre-implantation genetic diagnosis is also banned in some countries. So if you really want to choose the gender of your baby and want to spend less in doing it, you can opt for natural ways of gender selection.]]>
