The vast majority of child abusers are male and known to the child and family (not strangers), so there is some evidence behind the bias, I suppose.

- falserum 3y agoAll stereotypes grow from a kernel of some truth. Lets calculate. - 80-90% of child abusers are male. (Lets use 90% further on). - Us population is 330 million. (So half will be 165m male). - It has 750 thousand registered sex offenders Calculations: - 750t * 0.9 = 675t male offenders; 675t / 165000t = 0.4% of male population in us are registered sex offenders. (1 out of 243 males). - 750t * 0.1 = 75t female offenders; 75t / 165000t = 0.045% (1 out of 2200 females) Caveats apply: not all are caught; these numbers are for all sex offender (I think it includes adult rapists and public urinators); distribution through society is not uniform, some occupations will be more “lucrative” for phedos.
- micromacrofoot 3y agoI wonder what kind of impact removing priests from the statistics would have
- falserum 3y ago37 thousand priests in us. (675t-37t) / 165000t = 0.386% (1 out of 259)
