Hi, it's Maito_Guy from Reddit

Good thanks, you?

@Men Are Human Awesome thanks, you?

@buddingbimbo Anything in particular that you where curious about?

That they are equally bad regardless of who they happen to and deserve to be treated as such legally

Rape for instance is perpetrated in comparable numbers by men and women and men and women are victimised equally but female perpetrated rape is ignored and not punished, male victims do not get the services and support they need. The pay gap is a myth, there is a gap only if you ignore job role, hours worked, experience and other controlling factors.

Because every study I have read claiming the pay gap exists does not control for those factors, every study that controls for those factors shows their is no pay gap. Apart from anything else it would be illegal to pay women less for the same work in every western nation.

The studies that control for relevant factors do prove that there is no pay gap though

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4062022/ Study on rape prevelance

It shows a lot of surprising data, women rape each other in prison more often than male inmates for instance

Yes because the don't define female perpetration as rape

The study explains that

No problem, they define men being raped by women as "made to penetrate" in the CDC study

You are comparing the lifetime stats for women to the amount of men made to penetrate in a 12 month period

If you compare the 12 month period for both 1.267,000 men and 1.270,000 women reported being raped

By the opposite sex

Although of course they classify the male victims as having being "made to penetrate" so all of this data can be conveniently swept under the carpet

No problem. The 14.3% is the percentage of women raped in their lifetime, the 4.8% is the percentage of men raped or "made to penetrate in the last 12 months"

If you look at table 2.1 and 2.2 in the CDC study you will see the figures I quoted

No probs
