That is the point I am trying to make.

What's the real number of men that are sexual predators? 1%? 2%?

So we label the other 98-99% as a potential threat because of a small scumbag minority?

Again, my issue is with the stereotyping of men, and the wide strokes that are used to paint us all as potential predators.
