Sometimes I wish I was somewhat analytical, but I'm not. I'm an extrovert artist and I've always been. (I've been reading up on personality differences and I'm trying to grow by understanding the different ways we think and process. TMI, perhaps.)
I have a friend going through hell because his wife had an affair with a very troubled 14yr old boy. This isn't the only incident caused by a woman in Calgary either. In fact most haven't heard about this incident yet because identities are being protected.
These horrible things are done by individuals and the gender fear mongering that comes with it is terrible. I highly doubt there are 1 out of 4 dangerous men sexually abusing women out there. (touching, rape, because that's what people have been taught when the term sexual abuse is used.) I'd like to see the questionnaire that the people were asked to see just what they think is sexual abuse. I'm quite sure that I've been sexually abused by their standards. For example, when I was 12 I caught a 45 year old woman watching me change. And it was f'd up. Staring at me from behind a cracked open door, lights off in the hallway so you can't see out. Gross! I'm not trying to take away from real assaults. We know they happen and there needs to be justice and assistance for those who have suffered.
I'm always flattered when women approach me. Wish they'd do it to us guys more often.

The stat is not 1 out of 4 men are rapists. Definitely not. It is 1 out of 4 women will experience sexual assault. Sexual assault is rape.
The statistics for sexual "abuse" are much higher (please check out the link I posted before) and I'm not clear what the specific definition of sexual abuse is. They may have more details on that website if you are interested.
