“Someone needs to tell these whiners that males are much more likely to be victims of violence than females.”

Where’d you get that information? Everything I’ve read has it at around 75-85% (of non-lethal assaults) on women, not men.

Here ya go:

Violent victimization rates:

Females 25/1000
Males 40/1000

DOJ has more recent stuff but I need to get some sleep right now. I know I saw stats a few years ago that were current then, and males had higher rates than females.

The most bogus figure you hear is the one in four women will be raped in their lifetime. Complete hogwash.
