Lmao alrighty then:)
Yeah…because requiring evidence to validate a claim is obviously just disingenuous idiocy. It isn’t like a serious crime isn’t be used as leverage to further some political agenda…clearly all those popular tweets and memes that went viral are no indication to what that hashtag was really about.
It’s unfortunate you fell back on this statistic as I’m quite aware of these popular "1 in 4 or 1 in 5"so called studies. For starters they all rely on self reporting and are surveys…and for those of you who don’t know self reporting is just a nicer way of saying “anecdotal.” They don’t align with the official crime statistics of sexual assault either mainly because of the massively flawed methodology. I could drone on about it but I’ll just direct you to christina hoff summers and her video which debunks these rape statistics.
At any rate what does any of this have to do with asserting that women are justified in assuming all men are creeps or in this case rapist…you realize even if this study was accurate it still wouldn’t justify such sexist profiling. This also doesn’t negate the fact that men still face a greater danger as they are the primary victims of street violence…so basically this was a useless post.
Edit: I didn’t see your newly included content so I’ll reply to that here.
"-1 IN FIVE. That’s 20% of women vs. 1 in 71 men (or 1 in 33 depending on who you ask) who will be raped.
-In 2013, the Census Bureau found that 50.8% of the US population of 316 million were women.
-If we’re to take the Times article at face value (and I used the calculator right), that’s over 32 million women that have been rape victims during the course of their lives.
-The article also says that of those surveyed, 1% had been raped in the last year which suggests a figure of 1.3 million according to the survey.
-Those were just the ones willing to talk about it. You know that whole “there’s nothing wrong, I’m fine” act a lot of women do? Well, I’m sure that extends to this topic. So 20% might actually even be a bit low, and this is ONLY rape we’re talking about, not any of the other behaviors.
-And just for the sake of comparison, let’s take your strawman about men being victims of violence. According to this: http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/bvvc.pdf even in the early 90s at the peak of their victimization, black men, the majority victims of violent crime were only being victimized at a rate of roughly 70 per 1000, which, while still not good, isn’t even 10%. And the numbers have reduced drastically since then.
Still think it’s all made up and that it’s just a bunch of angry sexist women?

It should be noted that men are technically excluded by the official definitions of rape. Rape by definition only considers victims of penetration but not envelopment, meaning a man who is forced to penetrate is by technical definition not a rape victim. If you adjust the figure of men who were made to penetrate, I believe if was something like 40% of men are rape victims according to the CDC.
Secondly the surveys and studies which you cite all rely on self reporting, there is no verification process. This is clearly a issue for obvious reasons, and to top it off a lot of these studies such as the popular "1 in 4"study, will often ask vague and misleading questions which aren’t exactly direct in their meaning. Bottom line, the studies are unreliable and very at odds with official crime statistics.
Lastly about men being victimized by violence, a simple search into which gender faces higher levels of mugging, assault and homicide are pretty conclusive…so again what point are you trying to make?
The people who should fear walking down the street are by statistical fact men considering they are far more likely to get beaten and killed. The only thing you provided we’re studies which essentially amounted to professional anecdotal evidence…and even then the existing definitions of rape exclude men so you just made your argument look even worse.
