The media is bad but the sexual assault and harassment statistics are sobering. And they're highly under reported because enforcement is often a joke.

It's not an exaggeration to say most women either know someone who was assaulted or harassed, or they were themselves. And it was likely while they were a teenager. That kind of lesson doesn't come from MTV.
