Female sexual offenders absolutely do exist and there are definitely more of them than is known. I’m not arguing that point.

Or that the number of them is likely on the rise as women become more sexually powerful and start to seek more power in general.

I’m also aware of sibling sexual abuse and that females can be perpetrators in those cases.

It’s the presence of I disagree with. But when we say "more", what are we talking about exactly? That there are just as many female abusers as male? 80%? 60? Half? 30%? 10%?

Do I think it’s complicated? Yes. Do I think some types of sexual abuse have more female perpetrators than male? Yes. Do I think, overall, there are nearly as many female perpetrators as male? No way. Half? Not likely. 30%? I’d want to see some hard numbers and sound research.

Why? Am I being dogmatic? Maybe. But we don’t know how many male sexual abusers there are either. We do know that 97% of women have been sexually harassed or assaulted in their lifetime to legal standards. It’s not one guy or a small group of men roving the countryside molesting women like census takers. Making sure every line (woman) gets checked off.

Even though we’re FINALLY talking about it more it still mostly happens in the shadows. Nowhere near enough victims come forward, of either gender. Definitions can be over vague, not inclusive enough, or over broad. And both sexes are held to different standards. Always have been.

So, I just can’t get there...that’s it’s anywhere near a compatible number. Not when males are conditioned from infancy to believe they’re owed sex from females. When there’s been enough reporting showing men are being sexually harassed and abused BY WOMEN to that extent, them I can entertain the notion that it’s any where near an equivalent or compatible number.
