And there it is, your bias is exactly the problem.

Per https://www.nsvrc.org/statistics 81% of women experience sexual harassment/assault in their lifetimes along with 43% of men.

Please educate yourself and stop spreading the lie that men are not sexually assaulted, it’s incredibly destructive.

Less than half? Seems like my statement was factual, but that didn't stop you from jumping all over it to make some kind of point.
43% of men experience sexual assault/harassment in their lifetime, yet you are sticking by your statement that “Your son will likely never be sexually harassed or assaulted”? A 57% chance of something happening is definitely not likely.

And yes I am clearly making a point: people that gloss over sexual crimes against men are spreading destructive lies not supported by any data. Maybe it went over your head the first time I said it?

43% of a certain group of people experiencing something does not at all track with "will likely never" experience that something.
