I'd be willing to bet that at least 9/10 rape victims dont turn around and do it to someone else, you are not woke, you are an idiot.

You'd lose that bet.

40-80% of juvenile sex offenders have themselves been victims of sexual abuse (Advances in Clinical Child Psychology, page 19).

But why be informed when you can virtue signal?

You're engaging in what is called a "bad faith" argument. You're not interested in learning anything new. There's literally nothing I can show you to change your mind. You're replying to me to try and justify your own narrative, because challenging what you think, especially on this topic, is too difficult.

I provided a link that has more than the single data point I shared. But did you mention any of those other data points? Of course not. You didn't even bother to look.

Now lets get into the meat and potatoes of your own comment.

this says that 40-80% (a very broad percentage) of juvenile (does not represent all sex offenders) sex offenders have themselves been victims of sexual abuse, which does not mean that a majority of victims fall into this category. why learn how to interpret information when you can just be stupid? a lot of perps are victims but that does not mean a lot of victims are perps.

Strawman fallacy. I never made the claim that the majority of victims fall into any category. I never made any claim at all about the victims. I said that perpetrators are oftentimes victims of sexual abuse. But good job failing at reading comprehension.

stats say that one in five women and one in 71 men will be raped at some point in their lives, which would mean the odds of a victim becoming a perp are quite a bit lower than that, especially if we're talking about men.

Red Herring, outright lie, and a gross extrapolation of your own that only goes to show your own failure to understand how statistics work. It's 1 in 5 women, in college, specifically. It's also widely contested as being an inflated number. Secondly, none of the first half of this sentence has anything to do with someones likelihood of becoming a perpetrator after becoming a victim. I understand how a laymen might try to make that connection, but that is not how we do things here. You coming up with unmeasured statistics to try and support your position is fantasy. Stop it.

again the percentage you provided even said a minimum of 40% which could very well mean this is not even a majority.

Or it could be 80% which would mean the vast majority. You just going to continue cherrypicking the data you like and pretend the data you don't isn't there? Even if it was 40%, that's nearly HALF. You said 9/10 won't become perpetrators? Guess what bub, you were wrong either way.

at the end of the day my point still stands, acting as if sexual predators hold no responsibility for their actions because they're a victim is idiotic and irresponsible.

Strawman. Putting words in others mouths is a cowards tactic and you should be ashamed for even attempting it.

Next you'll say some stupid shit about how it's not a murderers fault they killed someone because they were exposed to violence as a kid or some stupid shit, if you cannot manage your own impulses you do not deserve to remain a member of society.

Another strawman.

so more than likely i would win that bet and you should stay in school chief.

Logical fallacies. Don't open your mouth until you learn not to use them in a factual discussion.
