> On the other hand, women are a huge majority among rape victims

No one is even going to listen to a man complaining he has been raped, so I very highly doubt the validity of those numbers.

Men are a significant minority of rape victims (5 to 10%). However more than 99% of perpetrators are males.
And my contention is that rapes against men, and woman-on-man rape in particular, are incredibly underreported and hence your numbers are invalid.
How do you know? What allows you to believe that?
