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.

Fun... it's such a burden to bare. Tiger

You make light, but unwanted sexual attention must be an annoyance somtimes. I have a male friend who gets quite a lot of attention from females himself, he has a girlfriend and has almost slipped a few times.

Of course I make light of it... I cannot not want sexual attention (easiest way to rob a drunk man blind, short of violence, and I may be a thief and a floozy... but I am a pacifist).

You should send him my way, for if there's a soul who would break his resolve: I would have it be me. The stronger the resolve... the stronger the soul Hungry

If there's unwanted sexual attention, there's Mace.
