Hopefully we don’t get an influx of men crying about the chance of being accused of rape in a community of women where statistically 30% of us have been sexually assaulted and/or raped.
You’re right, it’s definitely higher which is why I threw in “statistically”. It is very difficult to report and record sexual assault and rape cases for many reasons.
Sometimes this kind of conversation will attract men who want to be technically correct and I was trying to avoid arguing with anyone about what the “real” numbers are. So I pulled what we know for sure for my comment.
The fact that it’s even higher makes this kind of whinging to women about being seen as unsafe around women very cringe.
Oh sorry. Didn’t noticed it was a women’s only community. It just popped up in my feed and I replied. I’ll leave you to it then.

Only 30%? I’m actually surprised.
30% reported cases in the US anyway, which certainly doesn’t paint the entire picture.
Tbh I’d be surprised if we didn’t. Although our beloved blahaj admins work hard to ban people so hopefully most have been banned before
It’s way higher in my experience. One in four girls have been sexually abused before the age of 18, so not even counting after that.

Statistically, 30% admit to being sexually assaulted (in the US).
Thank you, yes. Very important distinction. The numbers are much higher.
Which makes the whining even more cringe.
