> Look up statistics on sexual assault and violence against women

Why do I need to limit myself to women? You are claiming that men cannot be victims? Here is what I found:

As of 1998, 2.78 million men in the U.S. had been victims of attempted or completed rape. About 3% of American men—or 1 in 33—have experienced an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime. 1 out of every 10 rape victims are male.

So yes, please stop your sexist arguments: both women and men can be victims. Maybe you should be the one who needs to take some time to reflect.

I'm one of those people who really doesn't give a shit about gender, race, religion, sexual preferences, etc. But it seems nowadays you have take all of these attributes and divide them into "victims" and "predators". I'm really sick of that, and I'm really sick of media playing out that part.

So yeah, there is my reflection on this whole narrative.
