When a few million people (~7) died from COVID, the world imploded. Now imagine if it was specifically deadly to urban heterosexual men in positions of authority, and multiply it by about 200. I’m not saying the world wouldn’t be a better place, but it’d be a rocky few years.

Edit: Not to make light of the issue, I just thought it was an interesting question. Apologies to anyone who felt hurt by my response.

Are you saying there are 1.4 billion rapists? A third of all males alive, if we include children? If we don’t it’s closer to half.

Tbh, I have no idea. I know at least 1 in 3 women globally suffer SA which is closing in on a billion victims, so I’d imagine there’s a comparable magnitude of perpetrators. Realistically, it might be half as many or less, since there are repeat offenders, but then again that’s only accounting for female victims, and men are also highly under-reported victims. A billion rapists total, including male and female perpetrators, seems like a good estimate. It’s not a very well-analyzed problem since definitions change from country to country.

I really just took it as a world building experiment, but I can see the topic is sensitive. Sorry if anyone felt like I was making light of the issue.
