Pining it on a gender or any other human characteristic that you cannot control is as stupid as it can get.
And then the positive ones:
I would love to go on and on with this. But as you can see, it's a fallacy that will get you to flawed conclusions, and dangerous if you plan to act upon them. Because by that point, you could say that killing all the men is a very good thing to do in order to avoid raping. And we all know where that goes.
I'll just stop my post here because I think I made my case, and I would love for you to reconsider your position, even if you don't change it, in light of understanding how dangerous that way of thinking is.
Otherwise, I won't feed the troll anymore.
Wish I'd read yours on not feeding troll before I replied to them too.
"Over half of women and almost 1 in 3 men have experienced sexual violence involving physical contact during their lifetimes. One in 4 women and about 1 in 26 men have experienced completed or attempted rape. About 1 in 9 men were made to penetrate someone during his lifetime. Additionally, 1 in 3 women and about 1 in 9 men experienced sexual harassment in a public place."

But yeah, I bet it's women sexually assaulting other women and surely not the other way around. /s
You're the problem.
"25% of women on average get raped, but it's totally a gender stereotype!" - incel neckbeard clowns on this site
Let's do domestic violence next! You can learn all sorts of new things about men today.
"1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men experience severe intimate partner physical violence, intimate partner contact sexual violence, and/or intimate partner stalking with impacts such as injury, fearfulness, post-traumatic stress disorder, use of victim services, contraction of sexually transmitted diseases, etc.
1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner. This includes a range of behaviors (e.g. slapping, shoving, pushing) and in some cases might not be considered "domestic violence." 1 1 in 7 women and 1 in 25 men have been injured by an intimate partner.
1 in 10 women have been raped by an intimate partner. Data is unavailable on male victims.1 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men have been victims of severe physical violence (e.g. beating, burning, strangling) by an intimate partner in their lifetime.
1 in 7 women and 1 in 18 men have been stalked by an intimate partner during their lifetime to the point in which they felt very fearful or believed that they or someone close to them would be harmed or killed"

Crazy how women are the ones being abused more! I would have thought, based on an argument I heard about not feeding into stereotypes, that it would have been more evenly distributed /s
I guess men are just statistically much more likely the aggressor in the majority of sexual/domestic violence.
Who knew?
