My college is dominated by girls. Much less guys than girls carry on after high school in my town.
One day I was in Sociology. There were only 2 males in the room. Me and classmate. Everyone else was female, including the teacher so maybe 8-10 females in the room. Anyway, this was a few months back so I can't remember what the teacher said but we were doing about crime and the teacher mentioned something about rape to which I responded "But more men are raped than women in the world...." Some of the girls in the class burst out into laughter but I hadn't finished my sentence yet so I remained calm for a few seconds and let them have their laugh and I then said ".....in prisons" and the class fell silent. The teacher then broke the silence and said that now that I've said "in prisons" I am probably correct. She asked if I had a source or any evidence to back it up and I said "I don't mean to be rude but we have Google" so she carried on teaching and I did a quick Google search and found several sources saying that more men are raped in prisons than women in America. My claim was that it applied to the rest of the world but even though it turned out that I was wrong in that sense, the teacher and the rest of the class accepted my argument.
