I think it's pretty standard for people to cherry pick stats that fit their world view.

I was raised by a single mother. I turned out fine. She's not perfect by any means, but at least she tried, in a way my dad didn't. But when I say this to men online or IRL, they really want me to know that maybe there is a very, very good reason my dad completely avoided interacting with me as a child and into adulthood, and he's not really at fault, it was my mean scary mom making him stay away and preventing him from being a good father.

ThisBoringLife · 2025-03-28T13:26:46+00:00

Using statistics to form an opinion has always been silly bc a heavy majority of opinion-based decisions are based on emotional states at the time of the decision. It’s why I’m terrified of ever being in court, you see judges give different rulings on the same crimes based on whether or not they fucking ate that morning. We’re simply not logical creatures most of the time.

The CDC found in the 2012 data that 1.715 million[9] (up from 1.267 million in 2010)[10] reported being "made to penetrate" another person in the preceding 12 months, similar to the 1.473 million[9] (2010: 1.270 million)[10] women who reported being raped in the same time period. The definitions of rape and "made to penetrate" in the CDC study were worded with extremely similar language.[10]

btw in the 2016 report the overall numbers were 47% women and 43% men experienced sexual violence in their lifetime...

3stun · 2025-03-28T16:43:13+00:00

90% of what rapists are men? Convicted? Accused? I think you're aware that most men would never report being sexually assaulted by a woman, because they know they would be laughed at?

Lift_and_Lurk · 2025-03-28T13:21:48+00:00

As one podcaster once put it “the Red pill has built an online culture where the men feed each other fear and insecurities and live off of a select set of statistics and charts because they have no real world experiences to base their lives on”

BCRE8TVE · 2025-03-28T15:18:00+00:00

But bring up that 90% of rapists are men, then we see cries of sexism and not looking at other factors.

Factually incorrect, half the rape victims are men, overwhelmingly at the hands of female rapists, and it's more likely that half the rapists are women, but as a society we are almost completely blind to female rapists.

Male teacher has sex with kids he's a rapist, a pedophile, and a monster, female teacher has "illicit relationships" with her students she was lonely.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/sexual-victimization-by-women-is-more-common-than-previously-known/

If you think stats matter until it makes men look bad, I can only assume you've been completely ignoring the constant and consistent gas lighting whenever data makes women look bad.

Another example is divorce. People here wanna bring up that its women filing for divorce and want to completely ignoring adultery statistics show men cheating more and cheating being a major cause of divorce. Suddenly when men look bad, we want a nuanced look at statistics.

Agree that cheating is a major cause of divorce and that men tend to cheat more, but it's like 60/40 as opposed to 90/10. The difference is generally women are better at hiding the fact they cheat and generally have a lower sex drive.

If you look at divorce rates, gay couples divorce significantly less and have significantly less domestic abuse than straight marriages, and lesbian marriages divorce significantly more and have significantly more domestic abuse than straight couples.

But somehow it must always and forever be men's fault and women must always be completely innocent.

Its annoying seeing people claim they’re logical but cant be consistent. Shows feelings and bias are involved.

I mean I agree, but it feels like you're ignoring the fact the majority of these instances aren't from men.

USPSHoudini · 2025-03-28T14:35:16+00:00

Rape is not 90% men, you just refuse to accept women are capable of the crime and dont look at updated statistics because it would damage your narrative

Female rapists are charged with SA and not rape. Until quite recently females were legally excluded from being even called rapists.

Sorcha16 · 2025-03-28T14:23:14+00:00

The 80/20 blog stated that women's preferences were more widely spread while 2/3's of the men went for the same 1/3 of women. Yet it's used to say women are fickle.

Feeling_Ad_1034 · 2025-03-28T13:06:16+00:00

Wait, where are the stats that men cheat more?

The “women initiating divorce” stat is an example of the opposite - it’s all about statistics until it makes WOMEN look bad…

savethebros · 2025-03-28T13:23:00+00:00

90% of rapists are men because it's not considered rape when women do it.

Maffioze · 2025-03-28T14:44:33+00:00

Big example: Majority of dysfunctional people coming from single mother household is taken at face value.

I agree, it is taken at face value way too much.

But bring up that 90% of rapists are men, then we see cries of sexism and not looking at other factors.

Men aren't 80% of rapists if you use a gender neutral definition of rape. It seems obvious that you will receive backlash if you don't even use accurate statistics.

"But bring up that 90% of rapists are men, then we see cries of sexism and not looking at other factors."

I'm so confused. You said the 80% of rapists come from fatherless homes can't be true because of other factors. You didn't say what those factors were or how they prove the stat isn't true, you just said the stat isn't true because there are other factors (which, again, you couldn't list or explain but assume the existence of) explaining why it's not true. And that's fine? But if men do it...it's annoying and unfair?

Sure hope you aren't one of the people claiming they're logical and consistent!

jimmy1245 · 2025-03-28T17:59:04+00:00

This subreddit is not all about statistics. It's about peoples warped views and shitting on the other gender. I personally think you're goal is to get more men to commit unaliving themselves. I also think your good at it.

f1n1te-jest · 2025-03-28T22:17:46+00:00

I think what's happening on some level, if not fully understood by people doing it, is that it feels like there's certain subjects where the stats are... muddy for lack of a better word, and people feel like men are being unfairly portrayed. That there has been a bias in research with a direct aim at vilifying men.

And, with some degree of frequency, further investigation does tend to show that there's important puzzle pieces missing.

Take the wage gap as an example. Women get paid 70¢ on the dollar that men make, and the initial narrative was that it was due to innate, widespread sexism. The accusation, sometimes out loud, and sometimes not, is that men are conspiring to limit women's' financial prospects out of sexism. It builds an argument that all men are inherently sexist (with maybe the occasional, possibly, tiny fraction of outliers).

But then, when people started taking a look at confounding factors, the unexplained difference shrank to a point where it was nearly statistically insignificant, and of the remaining unexplained part, it is difficult to tell how much of it is sexism.

Does that mean I don't believe women will encounter situations where they are gatekept from promotions, trainings, or other forms of payment due to sexism? No. There's sexist people out there. But I'm also pretty sure that in female dominated industries, you would see a similar thing. The fair accusation is that there are some shitty dudes out there that impede women's' careers out of sexism, but that most men don't.

adultery statistics show men cheating more

It depends on the numbers you go by.

When definitions of cheating include non-intercourse behaviours such as kissing or dating, sex differences appear to be attenuated or disappear (page 102)

Is this better? Is this worse? Are they equally damaging? Are men more sensitive than women to non-sexual but still physical infidelity?

I honestly don't know the answer to that, but that's where a discussion becomes practical. Not just a flat "men are worse", because it rarely ever pans out that way on closer inspection. Men cheat with intercourse more often, but women partake in infidelity just as often. Now we see that, on average, cheating isn't a gendered issue, but the ways that people cheat may very well be a gendered issue. That's now what I want to understand. The initial claim that men, on average, are more unfaithful didn't fully stand up. They're unfaithful in different ways.

There are absolutely a few domains where men are consistently shown to be strictly worse, such as with physical violence committed against men, but even then I'm left wondering how often women partake in emotional violence against others. Given my experiences in high school, I have a sneaking suspicion that the form of harm people engage in is gendered, but the number of people who are deliberately harmful may well still be consistent across genders.

And of course, we can absolutely have a conversation about the different effects these different forms take.

Of course before we look into that fully, I would really want to normalize the figures around poverty rates and support networks/resources available to the populations engaging in violence. Poverty is always a big factor in crime.

So I think there's an intuitive reaction people have where a claim is made, and it triggers that alarm in their head that says "this isn't the full story."

I'm not saying it's rational, or always right, but the hesitation to just accept it at face value, in my opinion, is actually a good thing. The deeper we have to dig into the subjects, the better we have to understand them,

Whenever I see asymmetries is where I tend to perk up. Because it's interesting. It's a "big if true" moment, but we first need to discuss whether or not it is true first, and then if it is true, whether that's in the way we immediately assumed it was.

The same thing goes with divorce rates. I haven't looked into it a ton, but I'd like to see the reasons people have for why they initiated a divorce. I want to figure out why there's a difference there. Is it because the women initiating the divorces were putting in more hours of labor, adjusted for work + travel hours? Did we see a similar rate amongst the men who filed for divorces? Was it an infidelity thing? How do we normalize those numbers and then compare the gendered differences?

Because if it can't be explained by other factors, now we start getting to have the discussions about why that difference exists. But you have to check if it's really the whole story first.

I actually think I'd like to see more of it going the other way, where the vilification of women results in more questions about underlying issues, rather than less questions being asked about the vilification of men.

Ryugatchi · 2025-03-29T02:19:46+00:00

This is literally the case with most humans (And likely you as well): We don’t like to face stats that contradict our beliefs in a way that can’t be explained. For example, the divorce stat you brought up suggests that the reason women divorce so much is men’s fault, but we can look at other examples as well; lesbians divorce twice as much as gay men, which supports the theory that modern women are naturally more trigger-happy on the divorce button then men are.

HighestTierMaslow · 2025-03-28T18:12:30+00:00

There is a ton of nuance in all statistics, its unrealistic to expect a single study to account for everything.

I feel the only statistic Ive read about genders where there isnt nuance is regarding sexual violence/physical violence. Men simply are the more violent and sexually violent gender.

Everything else has nuance.

That divorce statistic has a ton of nuance factors

-it only measures who files at the courthouse. Divorce lawyers often advise on if you should file or wait, its a legal tactic and has nothing to do with gender and can be based on circumstances. My brother's ex refused to file due to a financial reason tied to her job even though she left, her lawyer advised this.

-women are more likely to file first in mutual divorce situations because they more on average get the kids more frequently and need the financial support for them.

-men are more likely to put off filing despite wanting the divorce (see this in my family constantly, every guy who has ever left has done this...left and refused to file) probably for financial reasons.

-all divorce statistics are skewed because theres a small % who divorce repeatedly, there are women who have been married 2x and more initiating each time, when you take them out that stat isnt as severe.

Real-Matter4946 · 2025-03-28T17:00:18+00:00

Fact: ~70% of divorces are filed by women. It's a statistical improbability there's that many bad men. So now I introduce that Lesbians divorce at a higher rate than hetero. The common factor here is "woman". How do we fix anything if people aren't simply willing to look at data and apply logic?

Plazmatron44 · 2025-03-28T18:01:16+00:00

No it isn't, this sub is full of examples of men's poor behaviour being brought to light, the main thing blue pillers and women don't like are the things being said about women that don't portray them as either angels or poor innocent victims. Pretty much everything in this sub is just blue pillers saying "no that's not true because my feelings say so." when responding to red piller arguments.

GreatSmashPlayer · 2025-03-28T19:26:46+00:00

The reason why men commit more violent crimes is because men are bigger and stronger. If women were just as big and strong, they'd be committing just as many violent crimes if not more. We're the same species after all.

So don't act like women are committing less violent crimes out of virtue. They're committing less violent crimes because they're weaker and more scared of the consequences.

asb3s7 · 2025-03-28T13:21:44+00:00

It's always amusing how dudes in the sub are always on about how men built society and could take away womens rights if they wanted to so women should act right but if you call them violent people we should be afraid of its like they just watched you punch a baby seal lmao

I've been a man for a long time now. It'd be stupid not to be on my own side.

"Men suck" is literally everywhere else. Even here, you can get under fire from auto-flag bots for "women suck too". Reddit administration explicitly stated that men are not the marginalized demographic, and "men suck" does not count as hate speech TOS violation.

Feminists have been slandering men for centuries. Wide chunks of population have bought into this slander for decades. You expected men to shut up, curl up in fetal position in a cuck corner, and take the kicks in silence for 10 more generations. They would have done exactly that, but you (general "you") made the obvious stupid mistake that all wish-engine fairy tales warned about. You demanded too much.

But bring up that 90% of rapists are men

Convicts. Not rapists. Took you less than 2 sentences to lie.

Dertross · 2025-03-28T13:14:24+00:00

Not really. People have no problem accept that men are responsible for most crime.

People here wanna bring up that its women filing for divorce and want to completely ignoring adultery statistics show men cheating more and cheating being a major cause of divorce.

Where is the data that men cheat overwhelmingly more than women enough to support women initiating divorce overwhelmingly more than men?

Also, that evidence needs to be -married men- specifically, not unmarried men otherwise you'll have unmarried fuckboys poisoning the dataset.

But bring up that 90% of rapists are men, then we see cries of sexism and not looking at other factors.

No one does this. You're making shit up. Lilith thread.

Problem is, stats without context can be used to justify literally any worldview. You have to know what the contributing factors are, whether a correlation is done with or without causation, what other stats measuring similar things say, what method was used to measure these things, what the overall environment is and so on

Copied and pasted from another poster who brought out some receipts for you to peruse:

How many single mothers are there? How many confirmed rapists are there?

This is like when women tout the wage gap while ignoring the factors that bring about 75 cents number.

Dupec · 2025-03-29T08:42:53+00:00

Look I agree with the fact that people are all about statistics until it makes men look bad but that is literally false and based on sexist conceptions about what rape actually is

this study, which defined rape as nonconsensual sex, says:

The survey found that men and women had a similar prevalence of nonconsensual sex in the previous 12 months (1.270 million women and 1.267 million men).

2025-03-29T12:43:09+00:00

I agree that people often apply statistics selectively, especially when the topic is emotionally loaded like gender dynamics. It’s frustrating when some data points are taken at face value, while others suddenly require “context” only when they challenge a preferred narrative.

That said, I think the comparisons you’re making—rape statistics, divorce filings, and single-parent households—deal with very different domains: criminal behavior, relationship breakdown, and family structure. Each of those areas has its own social, psychological, and cultural layers, and while consistency in reasoning is important, applying the same level of analysis to all of them isn’t always straightforward or fair.

For example, yes, men are statistically more likely to commit violent crimes—but that doesn’t mean all men are dangerous, just like kids from single-mother households aren’t doomed. These aren’t “gotcha” stats; they’re jumping-off points for deeper inquiry.

So I think you're right to call out bias—but I'd also say that real consistency requires us to engage with nuance in all directions, not just when it fits the group we’re defending.

IDontKnowCPR_7 · 2025-03-29T18:31:20+00:00

You mentioned math, so let's do the math. There's 234k convicted rapists in the US. There's 166M men. That's 0.141%.

It's fair to say that a rapist is likely a man, but it's still WRONG to say that all men are rapists.

EricAllonde · 2025-03-30T04:39:01+00:00

In fact, according to CDC statistics, gathered using a methodology developed by feminist Mary P Koss and her team, women are about 50% of rapists.

That is, if you define rape as forcing someone into a non-consensual sex act. Koss also convinced the CDC to use the feminist definition of rape which says it’s a crime that can only be committed by people with penises. So to get a true picture using the standard (non feminist) definition of rape, you need to add the CDC figures for victims of “made to penetrate” to their figures for male victims of rape.

Men are 57% of all rape victims and women are about 50% of all perpetrators of rape.

Koss achieved a huge propaganda win for feminism by convincing the CDC to exclude male victims from the rape stats. That’s why even today, more than 25 years later, people still quote wildly inaccurate numbers like “men are 90% of rapists”.

ExcelsiorState718 · 2025-03-30T06:34:24+00:00

Studies show men only cheat at a 4% higher rate than women. And that's probably because they just get caught,women can go decades without being found out till the father needs a kidney and isn't compatible with any of his kids because they're another man's.

If every man did paternity test the skelingtons in the closet would rival Gettysburg.

As for rapist sure men are bigger stronger have testosterone it makes sense but let's also acknowledge women lie about being raped 100% times more than men,women have ruined lives and gotten men killed and jailed over their lies.

~Results indicated that 62% of women have had a rape fantasy, which is somewhat higher than previous estimates. For women who have had rape fantasies, the median frequency of these fantasies was about 4 times per year, with 14% of participants reporting that they had rape fantasies at least once a week.~

I'm kool with statistics but let's look at all the data and I've been a victim of lying ass females multiple times even a false paternity suit like how dumb can someone be like DNA test don't exist but worst part is it insinuates I had sex with a skeezer bitch I have exquisite taste starts with nothing American,but how embarrassing to have some raggedy ass sheriff show up at your door with a warrant.

Also atleast when men cheat it makes sense they just trying to bust an easy nut with something that looks better than their wife ,when women cheat its always the dumbest decision they cheat with the dude out on parole, they cheat with their students, their dogs,yes two women where arrested just this week for that.They cheat and have the other man's baby and lie even if the dude is a diffrent race,they cheat with incarcerated inmates. Men cheat on a lazy 304, women cheat on the man paying the bills and bring down nations, got a whole president impeached,got Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscar's.

No-Breath6663 · 2025-04-01T08:22:00+00:00

Well allow me to be nuanced then.

Majority of dysfunctional people coming from single mother household is taken at face value.

This is because women are incentivised to divorce men and given very preferential treatment in family court. Women who don't deserve custody are often given custody and men have to be extra deserving to gain custody.

But bring up that 90% of rapists are men, then we see cries of sexism and not looking at other factors.

Yes 90% of rapists are men in terms of convictions. It's highly likely however that a lot of female rapists get away scot free for a myriad of reasons. Men are even more likely to not think others will believe them, it's even harder to prove female rapists committed the act than male rapists, and courts have a strong bias favoring women in general.

It's still highly likely that the majority of rapists are men, but many women aren't considered as well.

People here wanna bring up that its women filing for divorce and want to completely ignoring adultery statistics show men cheating more and cheating being a major cause of divorce.

Yes men cheat more often and this is one cause of divorce.

But women file for divorce more often because they have more incentive to do so. Men are more likely to fight to keep their marriage because it has more ramifications for men.

Suddenly when men look bad, we want a nuanced look at statistics.

I'm sure a lot of men on this sub feel this way, but you have to admit that when it comes to the broader society, women get a lot more Lee way from doing bad things.

Its annoying seeing people claim they’re logical but cant be consistent.

Anyone on here other than myself claiming to be logical is delusional.

I believe this sub is full of statistics that make men look bad. I think the only "nuanced" look at thos statistic is with regards to the effect size and generalizations. Yes, men are more violent and less empathetic than women on average. That doesn't mean though that all women are more empathetic than men or all men are more violent than women.

Peeloin · 2025-03-28T13:35:11+00:00

Well most people here are young and statistics do show that overall men cheat more except in the age group of 18-29 which is probably the age of the majority of users on this subreddit, so take with that what you will. I don't think I have seen anyone on here try to argue that women are not disproportionately victims of sexual assault compared to men like ever once. I think everyone is aware of that, it's just not often a topic of conversation that comes up in this sub.

AssPlay69420 · 2025-03-28T13:57:23+00:00

Thing is, I actually think the emotional standpoint is more effective for men to argue from.

And most of it boils down to:

-Man being expected to perform at all times and not being allowed to just “be”.

-Nobody wanting to see men be vulnerable/victims and vehemently denying - subconsciously - that such a situation is even possible.

-Relatedly, no one being able tp ponder that there are some things which women may innately be better at - school is one such area where boys are struggling more and more but there’s little to no recognition of it nor adjustments even proposed to the structures of education to even things out.

Essentially, the most frustrating thing is the notion that increasing numbers of women seem to have of “if only I were a man…”.

You have no idea what the opposite gender goes through and hasty presumptions are terrible biases. Don’t get me wrong, men do this exact thing in the opposite direction. But at least women have an entire ideology devoted to the real issues that they face.

And all of this is why I fucking hate Red Pill because all they do is whine about women from a fear of actually being honest, thus poisoning the well on ever actually addressing men’s issues.

Gonna cry ?

Yeah sure I agree with most of that but

Men ADMIT to cheating more in some studies

Other studies show that men and women cheat roughly equally

Single mom stats are brought up to talk about how both parents raising a child is ideal, so family courts shouldn't incentivize separation by giving women everything they ask for with no consideration of what's fair to men. Not simply to "make women look bad."

bring up that 90% of rapists are men

Which reports are you looking at? Up until like 10 years ago, the FBI literally defined female rapists out of existence by defining rape as "the carnal knowledge of a female." Now the updated definition is only slightly less sexist, and describes the act only as a means of forced penetration, with no mention of envelopement. So I think that drawing attention to our society's bias against male victims and female perpetrators is completely relevant, and not dismissive to the topic of rape stats.

Men cheat about 5% more, it's not a big difference. As far as rape, not sure I agree with you, as traditionally, people often don't even consider female rape of a man is possible. When people generally talk about "rape", they are usually talking about a man raping a woman.

Depends on who you're talking to. Feminists are obsessed with asking "but who did XYZ/?" And women certainly don't take statistics against them with an open mind.

Show me one (1) thread/comment where men yelled about sexism when the rape statistics were brought up.

Grow_peace_in_Bedlam · 2025-03-28T15:53:33+00:00

I question whether the cheating statistics are up to date. I sincerely doubt Millennial and Gen Z women cheat less than their male counterparts.

The causal toxic misandry oozing from OP and all their comments is laughable. Take accountability, you just proved your own point in reverse.

1 in 4 girls under 12 and 1 in 4 female teens and adults women experience sexual violence of some kind.

1 in 13 boys under 12 and 1 in 3 male teens and adults experience sexual violence of some kind. (See 1in3.com)

The split of sexual violence is around 60/40. 60% being men and 40% women perpatrators. Its definately not 90% men. That's a biased stat, because when men or boys are raped, its not called rape.
