I think it's probably one order of magnitude off, possibly even two, resulting in near parity, equality, with men. Women thirsting after underaged boys is commonplace and accepted (see: Twilight, "the pool boy" concept, etc), meaning there's not going to be any outcry, ANY "sweeping under the rug" to be done, because it's just... allowed. You don't sweep under the rug going out to McDonalds, and you don't sweep under the rug female pedo and ephebephiles, because society just tolerates it.
And these people are actually “successfully” abusing someone? I dunno I could maybe see one order of magnitude difference, for a variety of reasons like you and u/8BitArchitect mention, but for another variety of reasons (physical mostly) I don’t see it being anywhere near TWO orders of magnitude (putting them in the same OoM as men).
I mean, men dominate all violent crime by a huge margin, and child predators are acting more on violence/power than what we think of as sexuality, I think
Once again because we don't punish women for violence. Domestic abuse statistics bear this out, where lesbian relationships have the highest rates of abuse and men are punished in DV situations when it's mutual or they are the primary/exclusive victims.
Now you could argue that women's violence is generally less harmful therefor punishing them to the same degree as men would be somehow unjust, and if the state didn't so often and so strongly protect women from the consequences of their own actions, you'd probably be right. But that's not how things work in the west right now.
It’s like the car accident stat (atleast that immediately comes to mind): women are more likely to be in a car accident (DV which escalated to police being called, probably because they instantly resort to screaming and have zero conflict resolution skills, as opposed to the idea they’re one side eye away from beating her silly) but not a fatal car accident (because when a man loses his temper with someone half his size it can go very wrong very quick, even if the total number of per capita incidents might be lower than with two lesbians)
