“Nearly 1 in 5 women (18.3%) and 1 in 71 men (1.4%) in the United States have been raped at some time in their lives, including completed forced penetration, attempted forced penetration, or alcohol/drug facilitated completed penetration.

An estimated 13% of women and 6% of men have experienced sexual coercion in their lifetime (i.e., unwanted sexual penetration after being pressured in a nonphysical way); and 27.2% of women and 11.7% of men have experienced unwanted sexual contact.

And now the real surprise: when asked about experiences in the last 12 months, men reported being “made to penetrate”—either by physical force or due to intoxication—at virtually the same rates as women reported rape (both 1.1 percent in 2010, and 1.7 and 1.6 respectively in 2011).

In other words, if being made to penetrate someone was counted as rape—and why shouldn’t it be?—then the headlines could have focused on a truly sensational CDC finding: that women rape men as often as men rape women.

Great, so you understand now that sexual violence is actually a widespread problem & not an irrational fear. Glad to have helped educate.

I only described actively fearing getting murdered in your everyday life, as irrational.

Being smug and disingenuous at the same time is a particularly bad combination; educate yourself on how to be honest, and you won't embarrass yourself nearly as much in public fora.

Being intellectually honest is free. Do better.

The stranger danger for rape and murder may be less than the known perpetrator but that doesn't mean it's non existant - known perpetrator is way too fucking high. Male violence (against men and women) is fact not ideological propaganda.
