What percentage of males do you believe rape people?
Enough to be considered a problem.
So in 2022 the UK, my home, had 33m males. The same year there were 70,000 rapes.
Let’s assume these are all against women and each one committed by a different male. That means there were 70,000 rapists out of 33m people which is a percentage of males that raped people of 0.2121212121%.
Now sure we should get this to zero, but it makes your outlandish comments null and void.
I honestly don't understand your logic. I never said all males are rapists or that it was a high percentage.
I literally said whatever percentage it is, it is enough to be a problem. 70k lives ruined in a year seems like a problem to me.
How many ruined lives for this to be a concern to you?
The point is that changing this might increase the number of rapes. Marginally? Maybe, but why take that unnecessary risk? What's the point?
This not you?
Males are well know for their rape habits? WTF.
To copy another reply. Rapists are known for their rape habits and females can be rapists too.
I honestly don’t understand your logic. If someone is willing to rape someone, do you think they wouldn’t enter a female only bathroom? Do you think it’s just opportunistic men that rape people. Like huh there a women in my bathroom now I can rape her.
If I don’t reply this evening, i would love to continue this discussion it’s just getting close to bedtime but I will continue talking this out if you want.
Yes rapists are opportunistic. What I meant to say is that males are known for being the main cause of rape, maybe the wording wasn't right because I'm not a native English speaker and I'm doing my best at communicating here. It's obvious that most males aren't rapists.
I absolutely believe it was the wording, which in hindsight is understandable if you’re not a native English speaker.
For what’s its worth your English is exceptional aside from the confusion here.

You know there are other people in a public bathroom, right? How often do you think rape occurs in a unisex bathroom, of all places?
Do you think women aren't getting raped in their own women-only restroom already? Even women in India and Japan get groped by men in their women only train carriage. The point is that mixing them is just going to increase the number of victims.
I guess I don’t live in a place where that happens frequently. Let me turn this around for a moment and ask you the same question you asked earlier:
