I think they are just speaking from experience. Most people agree that there is a double standard. A handful of convictions against women does not disprove that. It is certainly not "plenty".

If less men are complaining of sexual assault it's likely they are getting sexually assaulted less.

Or what do you think is happening?

Most men would not complain about sexual assault because they know they will receive very little compassion or sympathy.

That does not mean that the sexual assault is equal. The proportionality doesn't change anything. There is still a double standard, even if it happens less to men.

No, women are 100% innocent and can do no wrong and everything bad is mens' fault. Even when a woman does something bad it's actually a man's responsibility somehow.

The patriarchy made them do it.

Or could it be that the men know they will be harassed if they accuse a woman of anything?
