We don’t know the actual statistics of what percentage of violent crimes and sexual assaults are committed by women. A lot of woman on man crime (domestic abuse, sexual assault) largely goes unreported when it happens, and hardly ever gets taken seriously when it does.

So long as that is still an issue, that there exists some idea that only men do these things, or mostly do these things, or even get falsely accused of doing these things while being a victim, the statistics cannot be trusted.

Feel free to downvote if it makes you feel righteous, or on “the winning side”.

Plenty of women don’t report crimes against them. I think it would be fair to assume that reporting crimes against men in an attempt to sway these numbers probably would’t change much or might even swing them further in women’s favor.

By definition you do not have the data for this argument to be credible.

Sexual assaults on women not reported

Domestic abuse goes unreported by women

Ergo, if we dig into the data and a) women underreport more crimes against them, or b) everyone’s crimes go underreported and the ratio remains the same.

I’m far more inclined to think more crimes go unreported against women because men tend to be the aggressors far more often.

And I have to add the caveat that I am NOT trying to detract from crimes against men AT ALL during this discussion.

Why Most Sexual Assaults Are Not Reported Sexual violence is more pervasive than most people realize. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), 891 Americans are victims of sexual assault daily in 2021. And yet, the BJS records show only about 21.5% of victims reported these crimes to the police (Table 4). This article […]

Neither of those articles supports what you are saying. The first one, about sexual assault, says in big, bold letters that men are less likely to report sexual assault. The argument was not that more violence is committed against men (sexual assaults at the very least are obviously not), it’s that men are less likely to report it when it happens, which is exactly what your article said. It also said women under-report. But just because women also under-report doesn’t mean they under-report at a higher rate than men.
