Is it? I thought it was just "ugly men in your neighborhood"

I 100% agree with this data. Men commit more crimes of this nature than women. Problem is not with the data. Problem is that this data is not directly relevant here.

Most such crimes are committed by men but most men don’t commit such crimes. And the post implies that most men do.

And the post implies that most men do.

Not really. The image (which might I remind you is a comic strip, not some article published on Science or an opinion piece on the New York Times) implies that women feel very differently about "random strangers of the opposite sex near you right now!" than men do.

And that's true, precisely because of the data you just agreed is valid. If I say to a guy friend "dude you're not going to believe this, we were invited to a party with 50 girls and we will be the only two men!" he'll have a profoundly different reaction than if a girl heard from a friend "girl you're not going to believe this, we were invited to a party with 50 men and we will be the only two girls!". It doesn't matter to them, at this point, "oH nOt AlL MeN aRe DaNGeRoUs" what matters is that they'd be in a inherently more dangerous position than men would be in the opposite scenario.

The comic strip is noticing the difference in gut feeling and reaction, not proposing a thesis on men's criminality.

wow this discourse is cancer

And the post implies that most men do.”

I don’t agree this is the implication. The comic is juxtaposing how men might see a bunch of single women as an opportunity whereas women might see a bunch of single men as a threat. It doesn’t have to be all or even most men in that group for the threat to be real.

Also how is the data not relevant? The data is literally quantifying the problem this comic is addressing: this is a problem that disproportionately victimizes women and the perpetrators are often men, by a large margin. That is literally the basis for why the woman is unsettled whereas the man is relatively carefree.

The prior comment read very much like satire to me. I doubt anyone seriously believes single men are the only people that commit rape.

One user called me a rapist for this. Like wtf. How anything defending men can be converted to men are rapist pigs, is fascinating.

Okay not sexist at all then. Because there’s nothing racist about crime statistics about black people.

What people might do or say in regards to those statistics is typically where the racism comes in.

It was a joke, maybe you have heard of them?

I've been married for two decades and just thought it would be funny if someone read way too much into the singles part. It isn't like BTK, Trump, and other married rapists aren't well known.

I always forget that going over the top with exaggeration will fly over the heads of the angriest people.

Oof. I really shouldn’t have to explain the systemic difference between the two.

Also once again, this comic is making the joke that a strange man could be a rapist, and that women are not interested in strange men the same way men may be interested strange women - not that all single men are rapists.

You’re purposefully conflating this comic to the level of hating men, and then to the level of using crime statistics to perpetuate systemic racism. Brother you’ve lost the plot.

“Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them“

YES! We’re getting to the same page. The difference is the patriarchy defends itself. I’ve never seen a black person fight to defend systemic racism.

Where does it say that only single men commit rape

You mean the punchline?
