This doesn't work. Yes, any woman could become the victim of sexual assault. No, not any man could sexually assault women.https://twitter.com/Pappiness/status/919752795280027648 …

Statistics on sexual violence are notoriously unreliable. So I wouldn't hazard a guess. But I do think *most* women in most countries, barring some Uber egalitarian European nations - face harassment.

Prefaced by a 'think'. How about you calm your offence triggers?

It's very difficult to not to be offended by blatant denigration of one sex. 10 -15% of men are rapists? It's the purest sexist bigotry.
-
10-25% is bigotry???!! when by the popularity of this hashtag alone - you get the 'impression' that a significant portion women experience assault of some form or another? What, it's 2% that's assaulting all these women?
-
Yes, it is. Most rapists are repeat offenders, not entirely new people, and the rates of rape are incredibly low by any reasonable account.
-
Meanwhile sexual assault numbers are routinely inflated by 'studies' that assume assault occurs even when the victim disagrees.
-
Then there's self-selection bias, which is what the hashtag is; you're seeing a small number vocal about their abuse vs the silent millions.
