Saw this on women's stuff and didn't wanna engage cause that space isnt for me, but felt like this was a 10/10 post and wanted more people to see and think about it!
Feel free to cross post if you can think of broader communities where more people would be able to see it, this is just the comm that came to mind :)
I'd like to add that a predator can be so much more than "just" a rapist. Obviously, in purely sexually driven rape, men dominate the field. But as soon as there's more to it than "just" short-term sexual gratification (control, hate, sadism...), the importance of gender/sex evaporates.
Try to ask victims of slavery, pedophilia, ritual torture or whatever else unfathomable you could fathom, and women are probably equally ruthless and evil. And even if men would be over-represented, gender/sex would still not be a striking indicator.
