In an interview with the lifestyle website Refinery29, Hillary Clinton discussed the issue of campus sexual assault — and predictably trotted out the tired old myth that one in five women will be sexually assaulted during college.
This is not true, and no matter how many times Clinton or the media parrot that number, it will not become true. It will also not become true when allegedly unbiased researchers replicate the same flawed study that led to the false number in the first place.
