Fair point, but it equally applies to OP's assertion about men being more likely to be prosecuted for sex offenses.


It isn't my assertion. The crime statistics in both the UK and the USA back this up. It is something like 96% of all prosecutions of sexual assault are men.

EDIT: In fact it is higher at least in the UK

> In 2011, males accounted for the vast majority of prosecutions for sexual offences (98.2 per cent).

Sorry, wasn't questioning the statement, but by definition it is something you're asserting.


Fair enough.
