Excellent piece. Too many men (an excess of ~35 million in India and China respectively) who will never marry or rarely have sex, is producing a host of problems. Like an *actual* rape culture. Daily Reminder: There is no rape culture in the West. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/world/too-many-men/?utm_term=.bed1e3a04ffa …

Hm. There are several million men in the US that rarely or never have sex, too.

The incidence of rape per 10000 women in US is 10 times that in India. You are far more likely to be raped in US or UK or France or other developed countries than in India. I hate it when people go for anecdotal evidence instead of actual data.

I am not sure how data are collected in the different countries. If they are counted using different methodologies, the results can differ by large margins.

All governments count the number of incidents reported in their records. All serious studies use credible data instead of anecdotal evidences.

The usual opposition of detractors is the ratio of unreported crimes. Turns out, rape affects all races almost equally. All studies indicate that roughly one fifth don’t talk about getting raped due to shame involved. Detractors find ways to justify themselves.

At least in the US, there are significant differences of rape incidence by race. There are also large cultural differences on what gets reported. If that somehow evens out when you zoom out at the whole world, I would be very surprised.

Now I need to ask what is the definition of ‘significant differences’.

Just realised. Rape is a good research topic. Now I need to find a way to link things that will look nice to the agencies.
