Is this really "the lowest point in our nation’s history that they can remember"?

The title of this thread is "Is this really the lowest
point in our nation’s history that they can remember"?
Should the forum have a thread about "How Men &
Women can Communicate Honestly about Sex" ?
I suspect that objectivity on the topic may be difficult
for those who want more sex than they get and also for
those who are in a long-term, couple relationship that
isn't working so well anymore.
I'll be 75 this week. Still I am often confused by the
signals I get from men.

I don't know of it's signals, so much as men don't know how to interact with women they aren't already close to anymore.
There is a fear. They don't want to be looked at a certain way or treated a certain way or accused of anything. Any of their actions at any time could be misconstrued and turned into something that was never intended.
I happen to be quite stand-offish to everyone at first, male and female, and I always have. I rarely ever initiated a relationship in my life. I'm sure I dated less than I could have because of this, but the last thing anybody could accuse me of is initiating anything that wasn't going to be appreciated. I've always been a pretty good looking guy though, and with the exception of a few bad years here and there I had my shit together pretty good. I'm also pretty approachable in most circumstances. I was lucky. I feel for the men in this world who are decent guys but aren't really attractive and are a bit more socially awkward that are terrified of speaking to the opposite sex today.
At my age and position right now, I just don't feel that any of it is worth it anymore. There's more than enough entertainment out there that's cheap and can keep you occupied and fulfilled enough. I'm not speaking for everyone, obviously, but I just don't see the draw. I have no desire to share my house with anyone.
I don't subscribe to movements, but I do understand where the MGTOW guys are coming from. Not the ones that hate females, which I'm sure a lot of them are, but the ones of the mind that relationships with the opposite sex have no net positive result to bring to the table in 2017. Or to put it another way, they aren't worth the effort.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

MGTOW: Men Going Their Own Way ... :)
Ok. Never heard of that before.
Makes sense, tho. From Society's POV, there's plenty of people
on the planet; no need to get married & make more.
When I was a kid in the 40's-50's, it was taken for granted that
most of us wanted to get married & have children. ... But it was
a wrong assumption even back then.
I admire individuality & emotional independence.

Thank you, G.
Speaking of Bigfoot, I visited Bigfoot Forums last night.
I rarely go there anymore.
To me, Bigfoot is real, & not much to say about that anymore.
But how is it that we know they exist ... & the gubmint still won't
admit it. Up to about 1975, they did admit it. Sorta.
As for my birthday ... I should treat myself to a movie.
Is the new Thor movie any good?
... oooOO}{OOooo ...

Well I do think that this recent "battle of the sexes" mentality that is prevalent in the MSM and the government taking such an obtrusive role in every aspect of a relationship is a "big-picture" means of population control. I've said in other threads that overpopulation is one of, if not the largest problem that humanity faces currently.
Although on an individual level this could and does lead to a lot of misery in the lives of many people, it is a lot more humane of a solution than genocide, and likely a lot smarter way to go about it than any sort of genetic and/or bio-genetic solutions.
"Let's just make the idea of relations with the opposite sex so unappealing that they think the idea to stay single and celibate was their own".
I dunno.
I can't really say what my opinion of this is. It's good. It's bad. It is what it is. Something had to be done.
Happy B-Day, OONJ. Hope your 70's have been treating you well. :)

6IXSTRINGJACK, "Happy B-Day, OONJ. Hope your 70's have been treating you well. :)"
Thanks, Jack.
Well, I'm more tired & unwilling now; but was pretty lazy even before.
Memory was always spotty. But mostly, my moods are better.
Marriage ... no, I was never married. But most of my life, I hoped to
fall in love and live with a mate. Men are good for a lot of things, &
today, I had to ask a neighbor to help me with the plumbing. I've known
a few married couples who chose not to have kids; you can do that, you
know.
What I have noticed the last couple of years is my self-acceptance finally
kicked in & I feel better emotionally than ever before.

I am curious - have you read, or are familiar with Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus?
I'm not sure I'd agree that men send signals, but Women seem to assume they do. Hollywood seems to call this difference SitCom or RomCom.

Your math skills are deficient jack. It's not true that 1 unique victim = 1 unique perpetrator. Each perpetrator can have more than 1 victim.
Here are the official stats from the USDoJ:
https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/nij/grants/221153.pdf.
NIJ is the research, development and evaluation agency of the U.S. Department of Justice.
A 2007 survey by the National Institute of Justice found that 19.0% of college women and 6.1% of college men experienced either sexual assault or attempted sexual assault since entering college.
BTW - here's the definition of rape (no force required): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_in_the_United_States Rape in the United States is defined by the Department of Justice as "Penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim."
And here's the definition of sexual assault: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_assault Sexual assault is a sexual act in which a person is coerced or physically forced to engage against their will, or non-consensual sexual touching of a person.
I don't see mention of urinating in public, or the complainant (victim) touching via body part OR Object intimate parts of the defendant. Both defined as Sexual Assault, although different States have different statutes.
And still dancing, kissing, hugging, massage, fully clothed is Sexual Assault, even consensual if the "victim" is the wrong age.
In what cases are Sexual Assaults charged or prosecuted by the United States Department of Justice, instead of the Local or State Prosecutor? Otherwise the DoJ definition has no meaning or application - only the Local laws actually enforced.
