The statistic's been thrown around forever that 1 in 4 women experience sexual harassment/assault in their lives.

When you think about that, and realize for every woman harassed there had to be an aggressor, and overwhelmingly the data pointed to male aggressors....I think people just didn't ever really think about what this said about the likelihood incident rate of male aggressors would be. AKA how many there would probably be in the general population. I think everyone just assumed that a very small fraction of men were chronically repeating this behavior on everyone around them in their lives. Idk.
