Or so they would have you believe, lots of those nonsense going on with stats that people throw round on this topic, takes some work to get at the truth.
Well, the prison rape epidemic is male-on-male and many studies ignore female-on-male and female-on-female rape. So in the end, we don't really know for sure but the current numbers do suggest males tend to make up a high percentage of rapists - which is not to say they are rape machines, and obviously it would be lovely if we could get all the data. But ultimately - there is a problem with rape that affects everyone across the sex and gender spectrum and we should investigate the reasons why such things happen. Sexism, towards ANY sex, definitely has not been helping.
