96% of child molesters are male
I don't believe this one. I can't provide anything beyond anecdotal evidence, but I'm convinced it's bullshit.
People struggle to perceive women as child predators. They don't pick up on any creepy behavior they display around children. They can outright grab their genitals and people might think it's awkward but will not perceive it as sexual assault. But they are hypervigilant when it comes to men around children.
And whenever there is a news story about a boy being statuary raped by his female teacher everyone in the comments is like "nice" or "wish i had such teachers in his age".
I know at least three women who got molested by their mother. One of them had a lesbian phase and eventually decided to be asexual. (Btw. if you know a lesbian, ask her what it's like to date women, preferably without mentioning gender so she talks uninhibited. It's hilarious and enlightening to hear a woman rant about how much it sucks to date women. It's surprisingly relatable.)
96% of convicted child molesters are male
...and only a tiny percentage are Caucasian.
It's a bit like domestic violence. Most people think it's something like 99% male. In reality, it's mostly women by simple fact that they are almost never reported upon. And when they are, the male is almost always the one arrested.
