- Yes, my sentence does seem to imply that the ~70% figure is yours.
- That wasn't my intention. The ~70% was mine, coming from reports that
- some rape crisis centers say that 10-20% of their calls are from men
- who have been raped and the rates of sexual abuse of boys.
-
- I think that the percentage of male rape victims/survivors is higher
- than usually thought, especially when sexual abuse of boys is included.
