Was watching the Canada Senate committee hearings with Meghan Murphy. And the colleague with her Mr Dirks provided some very telling testimony that we do not see such behaviour among women: Mr. Dirks: The statistics are that voyeurism and exhibitionism are almost completely dominated by males; upwards of 98 per cent, probably greater.
I’ve personally gone through state sexual offender records, and high-risk sex offenders are almost always male, again around the 98 per cent mark.
Also, fantasies of voyeurism: Able, in his 1998 study; and Templeman, in his 1991 study. The sample that Templeman had in 1991 found that 40 per cent of males had engaged in voyeurism . That’s a tremendous statistic. In another study that Templeman cites, upwards of 40 per cent had fantasized about voyeurism and others about pedophilia and rape.
These are criminal patterns that do not exist amongst women. They are significant. The magnitude of differences between male and female on these kinds of things is enormous. There are some very important things that need to be in place when it comes to sex segregation to protect women and girls. (from sencanada.ca/en/Content/Sen/Committee/421/LCJC/53308-e)
