Let me spell this out very clearly for the hard of thinking

Exactly, if it is most probably, 90%+ chance a man did x crime, then the correct word to use is “presume” not “assume”

But we all know this? It's not a revelation.

The report I heard on the shooting described the perpetrator as wearing a woman's dress. That's not the same as saying they were a woman. I was very surprised that they might be.

I’m with you OP you are enraged at the ‘woman in a dress’ who killed so many innocent people in Canada. (Stating the obvious). I am also enraged.

I have not. I agree with you and have been advising you on stronger, more accurate language you should use if you want people to acknowledge the points you are trying, but failing to get across.

I was with you on appropriately recording things.

But, no, actually, you can't "assume" that because something is usually true, that it is true in any particular case. That is a serious statistical error and a logical fallacy. You know what they say about assuming.

Assuming the first three points are facts (no reason the think otherwise). What is the point of the final paragraph?

in what context are you suggesting these crimes are being recorded as female based when they should be male based?

as others have said if 90% of violent crime is committed by men the other 10% is committed by not men. Are you suggesting that the other 10% should also be attributed to men even if it was committed by a female? Or is this a trans thread and I am totally missing it!?!?

The offender is male, the crime is of no sex. A crime is an idea.
Ideas being concepts rather than creatures have no sex.

OP didn't say any of that.

It's the patriarchy. Men have to be favoured. So the non-raping men need praise. 'Not all men!' 'I've got a good one!' 'Pick better men.'

S1(1)(a) Sexual Offences Act 2003
To be charged with the offence of rape the law requires the insertion of a penis without consent. Only a man has a penis so, for this particular offence, the offender must be of a specific sex i.e. Male.

So if a female shoots up a school, which they have done in the past, it shouldn't be reported as a female perpetrator?

Women don't sexually assault? Tell that to my brother in law who's ex wife sexually assaulted him and is in prison for it.

I get what you are saying but to say that they should never be recorded as females committing those crimes, even if they do commit them is a bit of a reach don't you think?

Not sure my BIL would appreciate it if his wife was recorded as a male perpetrator.

Yeah I know. I don't know who's saying otherwise?

I don't think legally you can commit rape without using your own penis so all rape is done by men.

Well the statistically do.

I, and many others, read the headline a woman had committed a school shooting and raised an eyebrow. The first thing I did after hearing that was google if the perpetrator was trans. There was no reports at that time, but lo and behold - it was not a woman who committed the crime.

There are other crimes that can be equally attributed to women. It’s not 100% and there are exceptions, but they are notable and unusual.

Yes, but my husband's lovely!
Also, a nice man fixed my car when it broke down.
Ooh and women are so bitchy! I hate my women co-workers.

Have I got all the usual responses?

What does that even mean? Of course crimes have a sex and a huge percentage of crimes are gender based.

What blows my mind is how the same liberal progressive feminists who were "me tooing" a couple of years ago, have now completely abandoned this and mock women who believe women and girls therefore have a right to safety and privacy. You're right, the hard of thinking is strong

I hear what you say but have zero clue why you are saying it

Hold up now, do you not know the difference between a presumption and an assumption?

Here it is

To assume is to come to a conclusion with zero evidence, usually on the basis of bias or prejudice.

To presume is to come to a conclusion on the basis of factual evidence that indicates the conclusion is the the most probable.

So you must mean presume, not assume.

You know very well she is talking about a specific type of crime. She did not say women dont commit crimes.
