How many men rape?

There is no way to answer that.

The problem is compounded by 'rape' becoming more and more a subjective term in definition today.

Hard to find a precise answer as others have commented.

But "1 in 3 men are rapists" is a complete misunderstanding of statistics. While it might be true that 1 in 3 women are raped in their lifetime (I don't know but maybe), that doesn't mean that 1 in 3 men are rapists. In reality, you have a few men who rape multiple times.

abuse of statistics, studies, rethoric/semantics and facts

The majority of male on female rapes being committed by just a few percentage points or less of men seems to be a legit thing.

It's a small minority of men who commit the majority of rape cases. I'd say probably a few percent of the male population have either committed rape or are of the type to do so, but it also depends on what you mean by "rape." If you mean misconduct like having sex with a person who happens to be on some amount of drugs or who hasn't given an enthusiastic "yes," that's gonna be a higher number. If you mean the sort of assault that involves violently beating and restraining a person or very purposefully drugging them unconscious, we're probably looking at a maximum of 5% or so.

the most charitable interpretation to the question (not to rapists) is the number of accusations that are given to police.

some number of those will be false accusations, some instances of rape will go unreported, those go some distance to balancing each other out. which is why having some kind of bar for determination is important.

this does however get messy due to the significant problems in the current where folks are trying to redefine rape in order to pad the numbers on sexual violence, just think all the 'yes means yes' stuff, and consent cultist behavior.

still, in most places 'no means no' is the law.

the number of such accusations is statistically tiny, as in, way less than 1% per year. You can look up the exact figures on the FBI database. I'd tend to hold that as an overly generous interpretation of the data too, as in, personally i think the instances of rape are far less. The hype surrounding the issue is just through the roof, as is the statistical bullshitting that goes on about it trying to justify that hype.

Your question is too vague. How many men rape is impossible to answer correctly. How many men get convicted of rape is a better question. Many rape cases go unreported because without dna, or sufficient evidence, it essentially becomes a he said/she said situation. A court cannot convict someone based on that. It’s sad but it’s the reality of rape. I’m no lawyer so take it with a grain of salt.

As for your question, in America at least, I think the number of men who actually commit rape is lower than what scaremongers will have you believe. With that said, rape needs to stop being overly represented as a “creepy guy who abducts you”. The vast majority of rape cases occur between family members, friends, neighbors, childcare workers, religious leaders, and other people who have close ties to victims.

Apparently there are a roughly equal number of male and female victims of rape

There’s absolutely no way 1 in 3 men are literal rapists. I don’t think human society could have developed if these feminist studies were true lmao.

Branden Michael Boyd is a rapist.

As a victim-survivor of multiple rapes by a few different men at different times, I’d say 1 in 3 sounds correct to me. I’d say even higher tbh but I would have a different experience to many due to intersectionality so I’ll stick to 1 in 3. Do keep in mind that is on the low end of my guess

Most women think catcalling is rape. So they have no idea what actually constitutes as rape
