    They used to have similar studies to show that black people had lower IQ.

    Sexual assault is a crime. Criminals commit crimes. This isn’t supposed to be a “Men against Women” thing. It’s criminals vs. victims. Of course men will commit more VIOLENT crimes like SA than women, men have a biological strength advantage which really helps commit violent crimes. I don’t deny biology.

    But if we act like it’s more than that, that men are inherently going to sexually assault women and there is nothing we can do about it other than hide women, we’re accepting that sexual assault as an unavoidable part of everyday life instead of treating it like the unacceptable crime it is.

      No, because you’re imagining that that’s what the report said based on what you want to think and are drawing historical connections to a situation that is only superficially similar.

      And yet it keeps happening at a disproportionate rate. It seems to me that you say you don’t want to deny the biology, but don’t hesitate to deny the behavior.

      Mind you, I’m not saying that all men are rapists because I’m also a man and I know that’s not true. I’m saying the great majority of sexual assaulters are men, so let’s address that by giving people who are hesitant a choice. I think we can both agree on that, no?
