What is the ratio between male and female rapists?

Answer 1

A ratio re rape between male vs female is impossible for these reasons: * Many rapes are not reported because the victim is either in trauma and will bathe as soon as possible (the evidence is washed away); feeling embarrassed and ashamed and not wanting their family or peers to find out. After the trauma of rape the victim feels they should have had more control over the situation and this is simply not true. * Some victims of rape consider if they were intoxicated or were taking drugs feel they deserved to be raped ... also untrue. * Some women who purposely dress sexy and may even flirt feel they deserved it because their peers often say 'well you asked for it.' This is also not true! * Women can rape as well and if a woman has a sexual relationship with a minor this can be classified as rape. * There is male on male rape which often occurs in prisons, etc. and the same applies to female on female rape. * More women are raping minors of reported ages from 11 to 17. Teachers have been in the media more often for raping one of their students even though the student gave their consent and, in some cases neither the minor or teacher consider it rape. This action by women is becoming more frequent each year. * The only statistics available of rape cases for male/female is convictions in a court of law and this does not give a clear enough definition for a 'ratio' when so many rapes go unreported.
