We don’t know the actual statistics of what percentage of violent crimes and sexual assaults are committed by women. A lot of woman on man crime (domestic abuse, sexual assault) largely goes unreported when it happens, and hardly ever gets taken seriously when it does. So long as that is still an issue, that there exists some idea that only men do these things, or mostly do these things, or even get falsely accused of doing these things while being a victim, the statistics cannot be trusted. Feel free to downvote if it makes you feel righteous, or on “the winning side”.

But we can trust something else: it is more scary for a woman to walk some poorly illuminated city street late at night than it is for a man. So nah, “these figures may not be true” does not negate “this trend does exist”

Men can’t be raped or domestically abused apparently :/

Plenty of women don’t report crimes against them. I think it would be fair to assume that reporting crimes against men in an attempt to sway these numbers probably would’t change much or might even swing them further in women’s favor.

> A lot of woman on man crime (domestic abuse, sexual assault) largely goes unreported when it happens A lot of man-on-woman crime and man-on-man crime largely goes unreported when it happens, too, so that's a wash, isn't it? Do you think woman-on-man crime is unreported more frequently for some reason? Feel free to down vote this post if it makes you feel anything, really. Nobody cares.

If men didn’t “mostly do these things” the meme you’re replying to wouldn’t exist. Feel free to downvote me if you have enjoyed a sandwich from Arby’s in the last 30 days.
