Yet More Misrepresentation of Rape Statistics

Aren't women overwhelmingly main perpetrators against children? Statistically!

Remember last year an Australian women's commission was caught hiding male victim data by one of the members of the parliament?

pepetrators are overwhelmingly men against... other men

"Overwhelmingly" is like 95% or 90%.. the NISVS stat on unwanted sexual contact tells a very different story. And sure, self-reported stats/estimate can be very unreliable, but those are the kinds of stats that are being used to convince ppl that the justice system is 'male supremacist' and lets men get away with SA.

Calling this a "male violence issue" is intended to divert more attention away from male victims when they are already underserved in IPV, SA, and mental health. Some folks just hate men more than they care about SA victims.

Without outright lies, what would these people have to say at all?

I do not think it is trying to derail the conversation of violence against women as it is trying to have a conversation separately about violence perpetrated by women. Definitionally rape is a specific thing, but what we are talking about is sexual assault against men by women. Dismissing that and using statistics to derail the conversation and protect women is equally as bad as the same done inversely.

Australian accent... Says it all.

You know what really hurts our cause? Other desperate men who write comments like, "Oh my steak is too juicy and lobster too buttery", under posts which mention SA by women against kids and men.

I got molested once walking home by three older girls while I was in middle school. They weren't ugly or anything, but I still didn't enjoy the way they were talking to me and touching me regardless. It wasn't a long experience but it happened and it was... a bizarre thing to happen that still feels absurd to try and describe. Good to know it's not a problem, and I should just brush it off because of one of the most ambiguously impossible to verify statistics possible.
