"The #fuckeduptruth is that 1 in 5 #women, 1 in 4 #gay #men, 1 in 3 #bisexual #men and 1 in 2 #queer #women will experience #sexualassault in their lifetime. But even though most of the #perpetrators are #male (for any gender) it's important to note that #correlation, whether or not the #victims are #male, is not #causation."
