If 1 in 100 men is a rapist, then he can rape a lot more women than 1 in 100. Very few people are responsible for most occasions, similarly with divorces, etc.

Also why would anyone admit to being a rapist?

    No, the rate is around 30% of men have engaged in sexually aggressive behavior. It is endemic in our society hence why the majority of women have been sexually assaulted in their lifetime.

    If you actually think nearly a third of all men are rapists, you need psychiatric help. That is literally insane.

    Well the world is insane then. Every women I have got to know in my life has been sexually assaulted including my mother, wife, and daughters. It is endemic in our society.

    Thirty percent is actually a low estimate. In some studies almost forty percent of college males admit to using some form of coercion and ignoring consent. Fifteen percent of these would be considered rape by the laws of their jurisdictions.

    Keep in mind these studies relied on people being honest so the actual numbers are much higher. There is also a huge disparity between sexual assault and sexual assault arrests and convictions.

    Less than 4% of reported sexual assault end in a conviction. So that means there are a shit ton of people who will never face any consequences for what they did. Furthermore this does not even count all the sexual assaults that are not reported.

    It is estimated only one third of sexual assaults are even reported. This is due to the stigma women face for reporting. Many don't report because it is someone close to them and they are afraid. The ones that do report are often not taken seriously and dismissed without a report even filed.

    I have personally witnessed this when I saw a trooper talk my sixteen year old babysitter out of pressing rape charges because the boy was the son of a city cop.

    I am also a social worker by trade and I have worked for social service agencies like child welfare. I can confirm in my professional experience that sexual assault is an epidemic in our society

    I have also worked with adult sexual offenders in the jail and through reentry programs. I know what it takes to bring a rapist back into the community. So don't even play that I am crazy.

    "White and Smith (in press) surveyed three cohorts of men across 4 years of college. By the end of the study, 14% had reported committing attempted or completed rape and 34% had reported at least one act of sexual assault perpetration."

    "Almost a quarter (24.5%) of these men acknowledged committing an act since the age of 14 that met standard legal definitions of attempted or completed rape; an additional 39% had committed another type of sexual assault involving forced sexual contact or verbal coercion. "

    I see so you are refusing to provide a link to a study despite the fact that it would so easily prove you right and everyone else wrong.

    Seems like maybe the study doesn't actually exist?

    You would rather win the argument with one person than serve more people the source to read for themselves? If you quote a paper it should be sourced. If you don't source it then it is suspicious and you are just creating conflict. Methods are important.

    Says the the person who actually advocated not citing sources. People do care, it's just you like to be right and because reality does not agree with your perceived bias, you can't find any scientific source to back it up, and therefore cannot source one. Your pettiness is your problem, not ours.

    What’s the definition of sexually aggressive behavior? I’m not doubting this statistic but it doesn’t sound like it’s measuring the same thing here.

    A range of actions that involve the use of force, coercion, or manipulation to engage in sexual activity without the victim's consent. In other words, rape.

    I know I can but if you’ve already got it up that would be easier and I feel it’s common courtesy to cite your sources. But alright, I will look for it on my own.

    I like reading dry academic shit, it’s a certain disorder I’ve developed over the years.

    Edit: I found this article which an almost identical section but the number in question was 14% rather than 24? https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4484276/

    As a rule you should just provide the sources you're quoting from.

    Otherwise, it just looks like it's made up or the source is shitty so you don't want to share the source because it would undermine what you're quoting.

    Just a thought for you.

    Not providing a proper link or proper reference (where link unavailable) is rather dodgy (& bad form) on the web, which was invented to solve this exact problem.

    Sending people to go hunting for sources leaves much to chance, and they may fail to locate them. It's simply not a logical way to support a claim or convince skeptics a claim is true if you care about your claim.

    No one is obligated to care about your argument more than you, especially if you won't care enough to support it properly.

    No, it's very much a you problem. You could very easily edit your comment to link a source. Instead, you created all this wasteful back-and-forth over not doing so.

    I link to sources, because I'm not a lazy fuck & I care about my arguments. But do block away: we don't need those unwilling to try.

    ... What does 30% of men have engaged in sexually aggressive behaviour mean?

    Like it's been a long long long tradition that women predominantly prefer to be "chased" and expect men to be aggressive.

    30% isn't a large number, that represents about 15% of the global population about 600 million people out of 8 billion approximately

    I think you might want to rethink how you express your argument here because I don't think this is what you are trying to communicate.

    Again, what do you really mean when you use the term sexually aggressive?
