This list reminds me of when one lumps together stats for child molestation, with rape incidences, with people who are sexually harassed in a work place and/or engage in sexual acts to better their career and then call it rape.

Just my opinion, but it is mixing apples with oranges and attempts to negate the real horror of one situation over another. For example, a school yard fight where 2 sides knowingly engage and someone gets shot is not the same as innocent children being gunned down for no reason. They both are horrible for sure, but not the same on many fronts. To lump them together is an insult to the innocent.
