In the US itβs 1 in 6 women (and 1 und 33 men).
Iβm surprised itβs dropped. The statistic used to be 1 in 4.
So no, jumping to rape is not a leap
Yeah, it is. The conversation was about gender roles, until you brought in rape.

Was it tough?
Iβd phrase it differently. Unrealistic expectations of the opposite sex [^1] exist by both sexes, but that there outcomes for women when the stereotypes of men hold true are often more dangerous. One is saying it isnβt sexist; the other is saying that thereβs a vast difference in risk.
Then rape isnβt part of the risk you were talking about here?
The βWould you rather a bear orβ¦β question could be reused in a very uncomfortable way. You could swap men with a group of yoing, black, inner city men and rural white men for women. But instead of demonstrating that men are the issue and women the victims, suddenly itβd be black men who are the victims and rural white men the problem. And, yet, the fear and the risk of confirmation of stereotypes is the same - only in this case, believing those stereotypes makes people racist.
Fear of rape, among others. Which I wanted to show is backed by the data.
