The above points have been addressed in the previous post so I'm not going to write another essay about that.
I've no conclusive study showing the collated employment and personal backgrounds of all convicted rapists. However, one can get there through logic. What is considered 'normal' is determined by the what the vast majority of people in a given system consider to be both common and acceptable. Go to a prison and having committed an imprisonable offence would be considered normal. Let's assume there's a 1:1 ratio of males to female in a given population (there isn't but let's say there is, for simplicity). So if 20 percent of women report having been raped in their lifetimes, that's 10 percent of the total population (as 20 percent of 50 percent (as per the 1:1 assumption) is 10 percent) that has reported being raped in their lifetime. Let's also assume that each of these rapes involved a
minimum of one rapist for each rape victim (there are probably gang rapes so the number is likely to be higher than one for some rapes). This means that
at least 10 percent of the population are rapists. This is much too large to be attributed to Machiavellian individuals who don't have normal lives and have mental health issues/mental illness (which are the same thing anyway) worthy of them being considered abnormal and in need of help.
Just to put it into perspective: this implies that 6.4 million people in Britain are rapists. The definition which I used to describe a 'normal' life earlier was to have one of the following: a job, family, or other commitment. From a quick Wikipedia search, I can see that there were only 2.34 million Britons classed as 'unemployed' at the start of 2014 (couldn't find the 2015 stats, sorry). That would mean that the other ~4.06 million rapists, by the metrics listed above, satisfy at least one of the conditions of having a 'normal' life until they commit rape. That's 63.4 percent of rapists who have normal lives - a majority. Now it depends what you consider the appropriate use of the word 'most' but, at the very least, this should be enough to prove the claim that the
majority of rapists are normal people before committing a rape (assuming they're not murderers or thieves or anything else that might disrupt this thought experiment). It's also worth noting that I've minimised the number of rapists per rape earlier to one so, if we had actual figures, it would likely be higher since gang rapes would be included.
My brain feels thoroughly ****ed after that cold and clinical analysis of rape stats.
But they cannot predict with perfect accuracy that this will continue in future. That's what I've been trying to say the whole time: the past is not a perfect indicator of the future.
Ugh... For the last time, it does not. I'm not saying that the number will definitely be lower, the same, or higher. All I'm saying is that it will not necessarily be the same figure from now until forever more. If you think you can predict the future, I'd like some evidence, please.
