<DIV>This answer is so comprehensive, it is intimidating (which is one difficulty with women-- they often intimidate men <STRONG>;-)</STRONG></DIV>

<DIV>Come to think of it, the women in my family frequently say "a woman should not be judged by her looks", but then they drool over a photo of Ashton Kutcher. I mean, Kutcher isn't a success due to his engineering abilities, is he?</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Men - who often start out as completely dependent, precious little boys - are more often than not reared by women. So who's to blame? (This subject is much more complicated than just "How many women rape men?")</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Women often have a somewhat negative or inconsistent attitude towards sex - I happen to think that there's a lot of "sex" in rape, not just violence, and while rape is not a healthy way to behave - neither is being oh-so-prudish, selling oneself to the highest bidder, making men feel ashamed for being sexual (and enjoying pornography and the like) ... these latter are behaviors more often exhibited by women. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>> How many serial killers are women?</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>With very few exceptions, studies have shown that men who become serial killers often have very terrible childhoods (early years). This is a sad state of affairs, and it is sad for both the men who commit the crimes (and their families) and the victims of those crimes (and their families). Without a doubt, men need more nurturing and loving during their early formative years.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>> How many women commit atrocities in war?</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Women - throughout history - have often supported men at war (esp., read history of Civil War). And many women support war today. So what are we talking about here?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>War *is* already an atrocity, so even more atrocities is somewhat redundant. We've we've recently observed that women can follow orders and mete out torture quite well, given half a chance.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG><U>Just to be fair, why haven't you asked the flip-side questions like:</U></STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How many young men have been maimed or have lost their lives in wars their societies deemed they needed to fight? (for the sake of their society's women and children and apple pie).</FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How many men kill or hurt their babies because of post-partum depression?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How many women occupy hazardous professions, compared to men?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Why is it "women and children first?" (I may be sold on the "children" part, but why do women seem to count for more than men in situations where by default men are asked to sacrifice their lives for women?) In a somewhat related observation, have you wondered why n</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>ews often comes across with stuff like: "There were 1000 deaths, including 200 women and children."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How many movies show men being slapped (for the slighest provocation, or no provocation at all) by women compared to women being slapped by men? Is this not violence? - and what does this say to young boys about the worth of men in our society?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How many women seduce men with ulterior motives (they want impregnation; they want money and protection; they want to bask in the success of rich and powerful men)?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How many women are expected and encouraged to spend several months' salaries (portent of things to come) on engagement rings for their soon-to-be-betrotheds?</FONT></DIV>
