Well, I certainly don’t know any men who are rapists. Sure. Nobody does. Even though as many as 15% of men¹ have, by their own account, attempted and/or committed sexual violence. Even though women are three times more likely² to be raped by someone they know than a stranger, and nine times more likely³ to be raped in their home, the home of someone they know, or anywhere else than being raped on the street, making “acquaintance rape” by far the most prevalent type of rape.

And making it vanishingly unlikely that a dude with lots of dude friends and family members and co-workers and associates doesn’t know at least one dude who has attempted or committed sexual violence. (And at least one dude who has been a victim of it.)
