I was familiar with this statistic and in fact was looking for it when I found the article, but this paper summarizes a number of findings in one place. For those who would rather not wade through scholarly circumlocution and dry statistics (and I certainly don't blame you), it examines a number of cross-cultural studies which demonstrate that in every culture where prostitution is legalized, the rape rate dramatically decreases; the author of the linked paper predicts a 25% decrease in rape in the US if prostitution were legalized.
You read that correctly: the politicians and radical feminists know what’s best for women, so they allow an extra 25,000 of us to be raped every year rather than put away their opposition to a venerable institution which also provides income for many tens of thousands of other women. But I’m sure all the women who were raped by sex-mad men this year can rest assured in the knowledge that their torture was not in vain; after all, it was necessary to advance the holy feminist cause of preventing heterosexual males from having convenient access to sex.
