>As to the rape statistics, those numbers are highly inflated and less inflated numbers show that men are almost as likely (if not equally) to face sexual violence (but far less likely to report it and far more likely to have it dismissed) and that men are more likely to face physical violence.
Mind showing evidence that these numbers are highly inflated?
>And now they being invaded by profit-chasers and blamed for the social weirdness that they already did the best they could to get remove from others having to experience.
Yeah, talking about really scary threats here, that is much worse than the threat of rape. This implication that anyone who now enjoys what was only once enjoyed by "nerds" are profit-chasers is a much bigger caricature than self selecting nerds.
If you're under 30 you've spent most of your life in a world surrounded by the internet, computers, and tech. Of course people are going to be attracted to these jobs that used to be the domain of nerds, and some are carpetbaggers, but others, even if they seem too "fashionable" or "social" are just doing what nerds have been doing (and what everyone has been doing) forever, they are following their own interests. It just so happens those interests are now the same as yours.
- Lawtonfogle 12y ago>Mind showing evidence that these numbers are highly inflated? For starters, look at recent CDC studies in the last 5 years. Pay extra attention to how most cases of a woman forcing a man to have sex are not classified as rape (which means the summaries about rape are way off). There are other resources that I don't currently have on hand about how they are over inflated, but one recent story was about how over inflated they are on college campuses. Another, especially for attempted rape, is to look into the use of date rape drugs and how rare they actually are used compared to how often women think they have been used.

- modfodder 12y agoI will look into the CDC studies and their possible shortcomings.
- flimflamzimzam 12y agoWhile you are at it, why not also treat yourself to a look into the: - 92% of split families where the mother (not the father) receives custody - 63% longer prison sentences that men are given for committing the same crimes as women - 76% percent of homeless who are male - the disparity between workplace injury/death between the genders - the vastly less federal medical funding that goes into men's health issues vs. women's health issues - how the gender wage gap is eliminated when factoring in personal preference and number of hours worked - who dies during war - the requirements for men to vote vs. women (hint: what MUST men do when they turn 18?) Or don't look into any of this - you'll get more Patreon bux if you stick with the "Man = Oppressor : Women = Perpetual Victim" narrative!
- JoeAltmaier 12y agoSounds damning. But some of that is because women are not allowed in the places men are. So the cart before the horse. Also, I understood that most medical studies are about men, not women. Not understanding that item about medical funding.

- JoeAltmaier 12y agoDon't be silly. Laws aren't what allows or denies women to the highest boards of big companies. Principally because men prevent it.
