As long I'm taking things seriously, I'd like to report one of the most disturbing statistics I've ever come across. I really don't know what to say about it, except that it scares me and makes me sick. I think some women (and maybe some men?) will be surprised:

"Virtually every study of male college students has found that a substantial number, typically around a third and sometimes close to half, acknowledge that they would commit rape if they could be sure of not being caught."
