Data has repeatedly shown that the 2002 Serial Offender Theory contains a misrepresentative sample and an incorrect conclusion. 2015 research showed 13.2% of men self report at least one rape, and may likely repeat, but usually only during a 1-4 year period in their lifetimes.

Given that close to a quarter of American women will be the victim of an attempted or completed rape, the 13.2% figure makes sense, once you account for the brief (in comparison to lifespan) time periods of repeated offending. It’s not 1:1, but it’s also not even close to 1:20.
So that’s just over a 1 in 10 chance that a man you have an 80% chance of knowing will add you to the same story shared by 1 in 5 US women.
As a general rule, when men use the word “tiny” in a sentence, it’s probably gaslighting - they seem to dislike the word when it’s true.
