I am not that unusual.

And if it is statistics you require, they are out there. You'll find that most rapes are date rapes. It's usually someone the girl knows.

I wouldn't dispute that, but this came up before and I checked it on the FBI website. About 90 k annually, about twice the motor vehicle fatalities.
And I believe that there are also statistics that state many ra.pes are not reported (and I know you are aware of this fact) and therefore you are using invalid data in your assumption.

And some false reports ... but, more relevant, these are not uniformly distributed across the population, and some persons have more than one incident, thus the likelihood of an individual personally experiencing this is less than the rate would indicate.

In any case, I compared the magnitude to a fatal risk - not accidents, fatalities - to encourage people to understand the actual probability.

Unless we are talking orders of magnitude, I think the proportional analogy is sound.
