Can Feminists Get Any More Desperate?

1. Most violence is committed by a man against a man.

2. Most verbal/mental abuse is committed by a woman against a woman.

3. Most rapists are men, but women forget that most men aren't rapists.

The problem is modern feminists get all three of these fudged. They believe that the smaller number of violent actions against women has a larger priority than the larger number against men. They believe that only men verbally and mentally abuse women, when it is almost exclusively amongst themselves. And they, of course, accuse all men of potentially being rapists despite common sense dictating that the rapist:man ratio is so insane that statistically speak they have no right to make such accusations.

1. Correct

2. Correct

3. Correct, but I'm pretty positive that most women don't view most men as rapists, unless you have data to prove otherwise. I point this out because judging from your earlier posts you seem to just generalize a population with no data to back it up.

But feminists don't get those first 2 stats fudged. It's just that those stats are not the sociological problem they are focussing on. Their focus is on male-female interactions and not just in relation to violence and abuse, but also in relation to social and economic status. In terms of violence and abuse its about the fact that in the overwhelming majority of inter-sex violence and sexual violence the woman / girl is the victim, in the case of verbal abuse women are more often the victim too. There is no indication that feminists deny that male-male violence isn't relevant in regard to the overall prevalence of violence in society, or that women being verbally abusive to women is all harmless banter. It's just not the job of the feminist movement to address those issues directly. 

And as you say, few / no feminists think all men are rapists. But I think that one of the first things that will come into a woman's mind if she is alone on an empty the street and she sees a man walking towards her is "is this guy going to try to rape me." And it's the notion that this is a very prevalent thought in women's minds under such circumstances that leads to the "all men are rapists" concept. It's not a true statement when taken at literal face value, and it's not spoken as a true statement in that way, it is spoken as a contextual thought process.
