Social media is littered with angry feminists saying that men have oppressed women since the the beginning of time, kill their wives, assault women, etc. Like bro I don't do any of that and don't know anyone who does and will punch any man who does- I'm literally just trying to exist and getting yelled at for being a man for a bunch of stuff I would never do
Let's say 1% of men whistle at 50 women over their lifetime. That's 1.6 million men. If each whistles at 100 women, they will have whistled at 166 million women total- which is 100% of women in the U.S. And petty harassers like that will offend dozens of times, so the math here isn't unrealistic. That is an example of how a tiny minority of men can harass the majority of the women in the U.S.
But you are going at the smallest possible number. It’s not 1% of men. We don’t have a statistic. But even if it was hypothetical 1.6 million men. Do you realize how many that is? And I’m not just talking cat calling, I’m talking hands that touch, inappropriate questions, and weird comments. I haven’t met a single women across every single place in the world who hasn’t experienced that.
Yeah, I purposely used a small number- to demonstrate with math that 1% of men can serially offend the entire women's population quite easily. 1% is not enough to say all men or "men" do this behavior. Now can you show me any alternative studies to suggest that it is a far larger number? Or are you just going off of vibes, no studies, and no math?
We don’t have studies. I mentioned this multiple times. I can show you studies on related topics, like how many women have been in relationships with domestic abuse, how many women claim to have been sexual harassed, I can give you stats about how many people in jail are due to sexual crimes. But you don’t want those. You just want to pull numbers out of your ass and excuse the behavior of men.
Do you have proof for any of your statements? Because I didn’t make mine. https://www.ussc.gov/research/quick-facts/sexual-abuse, https://rainn.org/facts-statistics-the-scope-of-the-problem/statistics-the-criminal-justice-system/, https://www.thehotline.org/stakeholders/domestic-violence-statistics/, https://www.nsvrc.org/statistics
Can you explain to me how the statistics you are citing warrant a generalization about all men given that we have proven in this thread with back of the napkin math that it is possible for a tiny minority of men to be responsible for the harassment of all women in the U.S.? Please just cite anything that backs up your hypothesis that a significant percentage of men is engaging in this behavior. Literally anything that says "NN% of men have ___ women" 🙏
"It's not 1% of men" What's your citation here? Can you show me how you arrived at "not 1% of men" given the studies you have cited? Do you have literally any statistical analysis that concludes "it's not 1% of men"? Your vibes are not a statistical analysis. "Most women experience harassment from men" does not tell us ANY data on how many men are responsible for that harassment.
Can you provide me with where your data is that it’s one percent? How many time do I have to tell you that there is no creditable data in either direction saying whether or not 1% of men do this. You have provided absolutely no information and I am done trying to actually have a conversation with someone who can’t even bother to read what I am saying.
