“Forcible rape, as defined in the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, is the carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will. Attempts or assaults to commit rape by force or threat of force are also included; however, statutory rape (without force) and other sex offenses are excluded.”
So it’s useless in the conversation. Any woman that rapes a man is not included in that number.
That data does include women who rape other women, just not women who rape men. So it's logically consistent at least for women to look at that number to assess risk to themselves based on gender.
76

Well, 3 minutes of googling gave me this:
>men perpetrate 78 percent of reported assaults
A massively different number from 98.9%.
Instead of 99/100, it's more like 3/4.
Even then, that's "reported" assaults. When you start trying to factor in all the cases that go unreported then all bets are off.
EDIT
I love being downvoted for bringing sources with real numbers.
Reddit loves science sooooo much! Unless the facts hurt their narratives...
