    How many female teachers have been caught fucking their barely pubescent students this year alone so far?

    It isn’t a men-women problem. People just suck.

      Do we need to start throwing out the stats for how many rapist are men compared to women?

      Spoiler alert, most rapist are men and it’s not even close.

        Sure, just as long as you define rape in such a way that female-on-male rape actually counts as rape, which it doesn’t in the vast majority of “rape statistics” that get put out. Quote http://time.com/3393442/cdc-rape-numbers :

        And now the real surprise: when asked about experiences in the last 12 months, men reported being “made to penetrate”—either by physical force or due to intoxication—at virtually the same rates as women reported rape (both 1.1 percent in 2010, and 1.7 and 1.6 respectively in 2011). In other words, if being made to penetrate someone was counted as rape—and why shouldn’t it be?—then the headlines could have focused on a truly sensational CDC finding: that women rape men as often as men rape women.

          Highly unreported numbers for male rapists too, especially since most male victims were raped by men.

            but those are likely to be repeat offenders, so i’m not actually sure that how that would effect it.

            The raw number of rapes will go up, but rapists will probably rise quite a bit less.

            Statistics is hard >:(

      Would you rather be in the wood with a bear rather than a woman because you fear she could rape you? No? Then what the fuck are you even talking about?
