The fact that many men do not report being raped or molested by women? Let us call it the Rapist of the Gaps. Not saying we can prove that it doesn't exist, but you asked for statistics and now I find you quibbling with the data by throwing up smoke screens.
Not at all. It stands to reason that as humans living in the same society, males and females would share many of the same emotional disturbances unless it is demonstrated to be otherwise.
I have indicated thusly and have provided links that not only show that males are indeed abused and raped, but also, if you clicked on them, that most cases of abuse against males go unreported. One particular study shows that the rate of male victims is slightly higher than that of females. (the rate of abuse, not rape specifically)
If a multitude of links and an admission that I will recant if proven incorrect appear to be a smokescreen, perhaps you should revise your definition.
This is from one of the links that you posted.
"Information about the low proportion of sex offenses committed by females is fairly consistent, at least when relying on data about female sex offenders known to the criminal and juvenile justice systems. Yet when various individuals are surveyed about their sexual victimization experiences, the incidence of female-perpetrated sex crimes is often higher and much more variable. For example, reviews of multiple sources of victimization data reveal that up to 63% of female victims and as many as 27% of male victims report having been sexually victimized by a female..."
That's 40% total, by the way, just under half.
In short, your links made it more certain that nearly as many females are stalkers as males. The evidence supports it, and bias is pointless. I don't hold a grudge, so there's no need to swallow any pride. We all err at some point, and bias is a tricky beast to overcome.
