Nationwide data from NPR and the National Sexual Violence Resource Center indicate that 81% of women report experiencing some form of sexual harassment and or assault in their lifetime.

So if not all men are bad, how are almost all women experiencing some level of violence?

Okay, it didn't say that, right?

It didn't say violence.

It said sexual harassment or violence.

I'm not trying to nitpick here.

And again, I'm no statistician, but I'm quite sure you know that that doesn't mean that 81% of men out there are monsters.

That's 81% of women report that.

That's a totally different thing.

Or that only 19% of women, for example, have ever met a good guy in their lives.

Yeah, that's just not how stats work.

Also, the men who do this kind of thing, I'm going to go out on a limb and say they do it to more than one person.

But again, Gabe, you fact-checked this or you looked into this?

Yeah, so again, really quickly, a widely cited 2018 survey.

It was commissioned by Stop Street Harassment.

it was carried out by UC San Diego, and then it was summarized by the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, this did find that nationwide, 81% of women, and by the way, 43% of men, reported experiencing some form of sexual harassment and or assault in their lifetime.

But it might be good to note that the original survey defined sexual harassment and or assault broadly, and that included verbal harassment,

unwanted touching slash groping, flashing, stalking slash following, cyber harassment, and actual sexual assault.

Got it.

Which many people, including I imagine our friend here, would say, yeah, that's all harassment slash abuse.
