"A couple of bad examples" is at minimum 1/3 of men my guy. Most women with life experience are not going to take that gamble. In 2021, 400-500 children in the entire US die annually due to abuse from their mothers. It is not at all comparable.
Very specific to statistical contexts yes. Not one in every three human men you meet. Understanding statistics is very important
It is a gamble with a chance of at least 31%. It is a random man, picked from anywhere in our God given country. It is not "very specific to statistical contexts", you likely meet multiple rapists every day without knowing. It's not like all the rapists are huddled up in Mobile, Alabama. In the city, in the suburbs, wherever you meet people, you will meet people who are willing to sexually assault a woman regularly.
That's what you don't understand by not being a woman or by not knowing the experiences of women. You don't know how much you are required to fear the men around you to survive.
And yet women run into more than 3 men every day and remain unmolested. All of these crimes happened to someone they planned in their life over time. Not randomly at the gas station. They are crimes of personal hate that hurt the entire family. It's not like men are attacking women on sight (1 out of 3 times). There are a small percentage of sickos that might attack a women in the woods. Not 31%. This is all of a course obvious unless you want a frame statistics to spread hate
And yet women run into more than 3 men every day and remain unmolested.
Lmao this is delusional. I literally gave you the numbers, plenty of women are raped by strangers.
Actual delusion
And that means the large amount of men that commit rape and say they'd commit rape given no consequences are just non-existent? Do you have to rape a woman every time you go outside to be a rapist or something?
And you base this on..? Are you gonna tell that to the large amount of women in college that get raped by people they barely no because there's very low likelihood of consequences? That rape doesn't happen often because you don't see it? That the women reporting rape are in a conspiracy against you?
You are lying to yourself by actually stating that women only get raped by people they've been close to for years. And you're lying to yourself if you think someone raping an acquaintance somehow makes them less likely to rape a stranger if they can get away with it.
It's not my fault if you want to ignore science and reality. It doesn't even have to be 31% โ even if it were only 10%, which yes over 10% of young men OUTRIGHT ADMIT that they would rape a woman given a situation with no legal consequences.
Men aren't rapists. But an alarmingly high โ at least single-digit percentage โ of men have already committed sexual assault, and a double-digit amount would if they could. Papers on the matter mostly conclude that the ratio of sexual assault victims to perpetrators is around 3:1, which means the amount of perpetrators is almost certainly double-digit considering the amount of women to be sexually assaulted is well over 1/3. 25% of college-aged men specifically admit to committing sexual assault, while 8% admit to committing rape or attempted rape, according to the NIAAA. That is bad news for a woman.
All I mean is that statistic is not relevant here. One in three men commit sexual assault over the course of their lives. That doesn't mean it's a third chance someone's going to do it randomly to a women in the woods. That's a different still significant statistic. And let's just not entire groups of people is all. Women should be cautious of men.
Would you feel comfortable leaving your kid with someone who raped a child? Or someone who has said they would rape a child if there were no consequences? Or even being around a pedophile as a kid? Why do you think a woman would take their chances with sexually aggressive men? Because rapists are likely to be repeat offenders, on average rapists commit more than 1 rape and have more than 1 victim. "1 in 3 men are rapists or want to rape, but that doesn't mean all of those rapists or aspiring rapists will want to rape you specifically when there's nobody else around and no legal consequences for their actions" is a hard sell to women, just like "pedophiles don't always reoffend" is a hard sell to parents. Obviously pedophiles aren't the same as men willing to rape women, but I feel that analogy makes it a lot easier for men to understand the feeling โ a woman doesn't want to be stuck with a stranger who has admitted they would commit rape if there were no consequences, or an actual recent rapist for that matter.
