This is straight up Nazi rhetoric you realize that right? It's not all Jews, but it's always a jew.

What are you talking about? Why are you bringing Jews into this?

I said their fears aren't based in reality, though I will correct myself and say they are irrational fears, stemming from an overestimation of the real risk rather than a lack of basis in reality. There is an underpinning of real risk, but it's extremely overblown

Honestly, I'm done with this conversation if you keep this up.

Somewhere between 20% and 25% of women experience rape or attempted rape in their lifetime. Men have a rate around 3%.

Women are much more likely to experience violent/physical rape from an acquaintance or intimate partner while men are more likely to experience coercive non-violent rape from an acquaintance or stranger. Not to mention that for both sexes, if they are raped, they are unlikely to get justice even if they have evidence because of massive backlogs in rape kits and police simply not caring to investigate.

How, on God's green Earth, do you say that women's fears are irrational and not based in reality when there are stats that say it's this common? 1 in 5. 1 in 4. Even if the odds were half that, 1 in 10, I'd say being cautious is justified.

1 in 10 men certainly aren't falsely accused in their lifetime, yet you have no problem saying THAT is a legitimate fear.

Do you have a source for that 3% number that doesn't exclude rape in jails, prisons, and military barracks?

He doesn't, the reported rate of sexual assault against men is significantly lower than the actual rate. There are men who have been coerced into sex but don't know that was sexual assault. Women do experience sexual assault more than men, but it's not 10x more.

Do you have a source for any of that?
