It's not hard to vet your new friends, Dr Peterson. If I can do it, I'm sure you can.

Regarding the first tweet: These people are so selective. If you cited statistics about women, alphabet people, or any nonwhite group, you're sexist or 'phobic' or racist.
So, men are bad because some men - a tiny fucking minority - rape. But if you use that logic to show massive and significant disproportionality in violence, sexual assault, pedophilia, or what have you, in other groups...you're the bad guy.
Also, to the group itself, and the vetting thereof...it's not even like it requires a deep dive; just look at them, and their imagery/signage. Obviously a feminist group. Peterson just continues his nosedive into absolute irrelevance. And I'm not even one of his many haters; I've defended him plenty of times, and do think he brought a lot of value in that past. But it's just that, it's in the past. Because right now he's just pathetic and completely untrustworthy.
In fairness, almost every other comparison isn't as extreme as 98%. That's pretty onesided. It's so onesided that "teach men not to rape" never could be an answer. There will always be someone. Hell, the only real solution to stop the few random men from grabbing a woman's ass is to literally have another man kick the shit out of them at literally any time because it's that predictable, that biologically ingrained, and that unavoidable.
Also in fairness, that number is completely unsourced, and there's a 98% chance it's bullshit.
I tried to find it, the closet I could do was some liberal college sheet addressing "misinformation" and going on about trans people and how victims have no responsibility to try to not prevent rape. It was poorly worded, poorly reasoned, and poorly sourced as well.
There's just no way that number makes any sense, unless they're using some very misleading definition of 'sexual assault,' and maybe the other 2% of assaulters are transwomen or something.
I think I've previously seen that it's somewhere over 80% of all acts of sexual assault are done by men, and I've never really seen any evidence that would suggest it's even close to a 50-50 split.
Physical violence is predominantly a male thing (specifically under 40), sexual violence even more so.
I didn't say it was 50-50, I said it wasn't 98-2.
