>Mind showing evidence that these numbers are highly inflated?

For starters, look at recent CDC studies in the last 5 years. Pay extra attention to how most cases of a woman forcing a man to have sex are not classified as rape (which means the summaries about rape are way off). There are other resources that I don't currently have on hand about how they are over inflated, but one recent story was about how over inflated they are on college campuses. Another, especially for attempted rape, is to look into the use of date rape drugs and how rare they actually are used compared to how often women think they have been used.

I will look into the CDC studies and their possible shortcomings.

While you are at it, why not also treat yourself to a look into the:

- 92% of split families where the mother (not the father) receives custody

- 63% longer prison sentences that men are given for committing the same crimes as women

- 76% percent of homeless who are male

- the disparity between workplace injury/death between the genders

- the vastly less federal medical funding that goes into men's health issues vs. women's health issues

- how the gender wage gap is eliminated when factoring in personal preference and number of hours worked

- who dies during war

- the requirements for men to vote vs. women (hint: what MUST men do when they turn 18?)

Or don't look into any of this - you'll get more Patreon bux if you stick with the "Man = Oppressor : Women = Perpetual Victim" narrative!

Sounds damning. But some of that is because women are not allowed in the places men are. So the cart before the horse.

Also, I understood that most medical studies are about men, not women. Not understanding that item about medical funding.

Women are allowed everywhere men are, they have been since 1968:

Don't be silly. Laws aren't what allows or denies women to the highest boards of big companies. Principally because men prevent it.
