Rape stats: 'Most Rapes Are by Female Perps on Males?!'

[MsF1t]

So, some clearly MRA type on twitter posted to say:

'If one defines "rape" in a gender-neutral manner, as "non-consensual sexual intercourse," the percentages of women and men reporting having been raped in the past 12 months are essentially the same, with most of the men raped by a female perpetrator.'

I am no statistician, but I cannot believe this could be true, if only based on the sheer number of women versus men who I know and who are affected by rape. There were 'stats' attached. Does anyone know where these come from and whether there is any substance to them? Not keen to interact with this guy obviously.

If you look at the 2015 report, you get a much more realistic picture of lifetime stats:

1 in 5 women experience complete or attempted forced penetration

1 in 14 men was made to penetrate someone (completed or attempted)

The 12-months numbers were 1.2% and 0.7% respectively.

That first screenshot rather conveniently cuts out the first sentence from the 2014 report based on data collected from 2010 to 2012 btw, which reads:

^For men who reported being a
victim of completed or attempted
rape, 86.5% reported only male
perpetrators^

And thank you StopThePlanet for the additional information about the survey. Always helps to put results in context.

No sweat CharlieParley 😊

Surprise surprise, MRAs quote mining again. Their hatred of women shows in how stupid they must think we are that they think they can get away with this shit without us spotting it.

Dammit, slipped up, I meant M P As, male privilege activists. They aren't fighting for their rights, they want to remove ours.
