It annoys me that the most obvious trend in sex offences data is contested and minimised time and time again.
So here's some facts from govt data on sex offences and CSEW (2017):
Over 11k women out of 25k women surveys were sexually assaulted or raped in the last year
So here's some facts from govt data on sex offences and CSEW (2017):

Out of 25k men surveyed, 0.8% had been sexually assaulted and 0.3% had been raped in the last year
Yet for all of these thousands of sexual offences - 99% of the offenders were male
The govt stats estimate that around 3.5m women have been sexually assaulted or raped since 16 years old in the UK - versus around 700,000 men. That makes women and girls 5 times more likely than men and boys.
In 2017, there were 26.5k reports of female rape versus 1625 reports of male rape in the same year.
Females committed 1% of the sexual offences entitled ‘rape or assault by penetration’ on female victims and 0% of those offences on male victims.
Males committed 99% of the offences of rape and assault by penetration in 2017.

I just don’t know how much longer people can keep shouting that this is happening to men and boys at the same rates as women and girls
I’m so sick of hearing people say ‘well, what about all the offences committed by women?’
Yeah sure bro. Let’s focus all our attention on the 1% of offences and ignore the massive looming issue of the 99% of offences because its men and we don’t like saying its men

Like we get it. Women can abuse. Women can sexually offend. Women can abuse kids. We get it. It’s real.
But it’s nowhere near as prevalent as male offending, which is literally harming tens of thousands of lives of women and girls every year.

This is a massive social issue. Millions of women and girls are being raped and abused worldwide.
In most countries in the world, the offending stats are the same - 97-99% of them are male.
I mean come on. This is one of the most solid crime trends we have.

Even those who are working to support male victims of rape and abuse know that the majority of their abusers are male. Its men who are most likely to abuse other men and boys. Not women.
We have to get past this PC bollocks about not wanting to name males as the majority offenders of sex offending. Everyone in this field knows who the majority offenders are and who the majority victims are. This minimising and obscuring of the truth has to end
How come everyone is so outraged by sexual offences but not quite outraged enough to name the problem?
