What’s not as well known is that the same study also surveyed thousands of college men, asking them about if they had ever forced a woman to have sex against her will. About 4.5% reported that they had. 4.5% of the men in the United States is an incredibly high number - that translates into over six million men. When I am in public, I am constantly "rating" men on their potential to be a rapist. There's harmless men and men who I will avoid and then there's men who I will go seek shelter and safety from. If I encountered someone aggressively pursuing me with sexual overtures in Union Square I'd head directly into one of the (overcrowded) stores and go speak to an employee until that man left. I get street harassment in San Francisco fairly regularly, from "Hey baby" to a particularly horrifying encounter with a man on the 14 who sat next to me on a nearly empty bus and proceeded to repeat "fuck my dick" until I stood up and told the driver to kick him off the bus (I was sitting in the first seat, the driver saw and heard all of that but didn't act until I demanded it of him. This "game" that they'll be playing - a "boot camp" (because military imagery doesn't make women think of the high rape statistics in the Army) for how to <strike> sexually harass </strike> pick up women - is disgusting.

4.5% of the men in the United States is an incredibly high number – that translates into over six million men.
