Yes. I literally had a man in my comments tell me I obviously didn't understand how statistics work. I had to explain that in college, two classes of statistics were required, so actually I have at least a solid foundation and if every woman knows someone who has been raped (and most of us know far more than just one person), but men seem to not know a single man who is a rapist then maybe men just don't actually know their friends as well as they think they do... or literally are still passing off problematic statements and behaviors as jokes.

Because with the problem being as rampant as it is, yes, there are a whole lot more unidentified rapists out there than anyone is willing to admit.

But no man is willing to admit that he, himself, has forced himself on a woman who didn't want him, nor are men willing to point the finger at their friends - though clearly it's SOMEBODY doing all the raping!

Thank you for reading and commenting!
