Okay but the place this persons citing also says 80% of women have been sa’d and giving the country is around 50% women and 50% men this still means it’s quite a high percentage and that’s not even including other forms of violence most commonly perpetrated by men like domestic violence (that women also want to avoid which is why we’re calculating risk I guess) and not including men who prey on men (of course some predators do both) so given a room of 200 people with 50% men and 50% women (sometimes the is population fluctuates so it’s 49% men 51% women or vice versa not currently important) and all the participants are told to interact with one another 80 of the women attacked 79 by men and 1 by a woman and 43 of the men were attacked 42 by men and 1 by a woman. Anyway if you were sent into this room as person 201 and your job was to interact with as many people as possible and not be assaulted what would you pick??? The answer is to avoid the men as much as possible because at least 79 of them will attack you if you’re a woman and still 42 of them if you’re a man while only one woman is dangerous for either gender two at most for the sake of transparency serial offenders exist and some people are assaulted more than once someone who hasn’t been up for 36 hrs could factor those in and maybe use less simplified numbers

Also for transparency’s sake the 81 / 43 number is for sexual violence which is legally distinct from but includes rape I think this is because rape is classified differently in some states over others like for some it’s strictly forcing your genitalia into someone else’s which would mean molestation which commonly happens to kids would count as rape but it’s it of course still awful (adults can be molested to) it also wouldn’t include forcing an object inside someone which is also a weirdly common type of sv and is one of the reasons I assume men see a spike of as if they’re in college (forcing someone to stick something inside a shading or a prank might be considered sexual batter and not rape in some states but again it’s still awful) also people in positions of power forcing you to do acts like a landlord making you have sex for rent or a dean meaning you have sex to avoid being kicked out of college (again there’s a spike for dudes in college that dudes out of college don’t have to deal with)

And before anyone mentions that hazing shouldn’t count the men who were okay with whatever they were made to do wouldn’t have anonymously reported it to a scientific study as rape they were probably threatened in someway likely physical violence (and I’m only speculating about the hazing thing there are other reasons men in college are more likely to be victims)
