  The answer to a problem is never going to be to insist that everything other than the desired answer is totally and unequivocably false. If you actually want to resolve this, instead of turning it into yet another hanging conflict, you’re going to have to be honest about why concerns exist.

    I can tell you why. Male sex offenders are inherently more physical, or at least expected to be. It’s the same reason why rape in many places can only be committed by a man. There’s absolutely female pedophiles and predators, but people either ignore them, or don’t look hard enough to see them. My own personal theory is that female pedos are just as common as male, but the way they get sexual gratification is different so evidence is more common for men.

      Even if all child abusers were men (which they’re not), it would still be a far cry from saying all men are child abusers.
