I think you misunderstand me. I don't doubt the experience of any of the respondents, and my heart goes out to them. What I doubt is that this survey represents a good picture of the state of sexual violence in the field. To get that picture a much more scientific survey would be needed. My guess is that this survey overestimates the number of women who are victimized, because of reporting bias, not inaccurate accounts on an individual basis.
