    No. But India has the worst gang rape of women walking on the street than anywhere else.https://apnews.com/article/india-sexual-violence-rape-b9016c82074c08583080db846d64055b

    South Africa had a poll where 1 in 4 men admitted to rape. https://www.thenewhumanitarian.org/report/84909/south-africa-one-four-men-rape

    America is not bad for walking down the street violent rape like you are talking about. They gang raped a girl on a bus in India.

        I’m saying all people have a rape problem. Just the link you gave where a couple raped a girl. I’m also saying America has a low walking down the street rape problem compared to India, South Africa, and Botswana.

              I spend zero time worrying about being raped, I’m a cis gender white male.

              But you see, there’s this thing called empathy - and when women tell me they’re worried, I genuinely believe them, because history shows their fears are well founded.

              huh.

                There is a higher chance of being mauled by a pitbull than being violently sexually assaulted on the streets of America yet there is a large portion of people that say it’s not the breed, it’s how they were raised.

                Why aren’t men talked about with similar empathy? Why don’t we acknowledge there are more women pedophiles recieve lighter sentences and sometimes aren’t convicted at all? Do you have empathy for these children?

                  I know you’re happy to herring the argument in any direction to get a concession. I have empathy for lots of people, but it doesn’t reduce the calculus: a woman might be harmed or killed by a bear, but the bear will never kidnap her and keep her in a cage, much less rape her.

                  Huh.
