TW for a man dismissing rape statistics.

Enjoy this video of bears. You’re going to need it.

Now on to James. James thinks men aren’t as dangerous as they seem.

I have heard about the reports of sexual assault and harassment on military bases, with up to 7% of female service members reporting harassment or abuse from their colleagues per a 2018 Rand corporation study:

https://www.rand.org/pubs/tools/TLA746-2/handbook/resources/data-on-sexual-assault-in-the-military.html

This shows that even when surrounded by men, 93% of women are not victimized by the men around them since, and this is the point I want to make, the overwhelming majority of men are not dangerous to random women.
