People using outdated information with a tiny sample group to paint a narrative

Firstly as I highlighted in the post a lot of the information is very obsolete (the most recent sources being 2008) and taken from a tiny pool of 378 men vs 4.05 billion men and or for simplicity sake 166.1 million men in the US alone.

According to the US Census Bureau, US population is 159 million males and 165 million females. So that's 0.4% of men who are convicted sex offenders and 0.1% who are convicted rapists.

According to DoJ statistics, there are 859,500 registered sex offenders in the US; about 80% are male and 20% female. Most sex offenders are not rapists (unless you redefine rape to include things that are not legally rape).

Rape only makes up about 30% of sex offenses. So, rounding off, approximately 687,000 men are convicted sex offenders and around 210,000 of those are convicted rapists, and around 52,000 of the 172,000 female sex offenders are convicted rapists.

And let’s not forget that women can be rapists and that men can be the victims of rape. Painting rape as exclusively male perpetrators and female victims demonstrates heteronormative bias and reinforces stereotypical gender roles. Women rape men. Men rape other men. Women rape other women. Let’s not pretend otherwise.

Even if we assume that there are 5 rapists at large for every one who has been caught (as would be the case with a 20% reporting rate), that's still only 0.5% of the male population.

So, the hard data shows that it is reasonable to assume that less than 1% of men are rapists. A small number of serial rapists, who are successful at not getting caught, is a better fit with the facts than is the idea that large numbers of men are committing rape opportunistically.

I do understand though this may be a controversial post and if I'm wrong to a very severe and prominent extent I am willing to delete the post to avoid worsening misinformation on such a sensitive issue.
