21. Did you even bother to read the text?
"94% is an epidemic."

An epidemic? Of what? I could have 94% of a pie, but that's not an epidemic of pies. The figure of 94% represents nothing in terms of quantity, only division. More to the point, the numbers are far higher than 6% if you think about it. Look at the article, note that they're talking about reported cases, and then note where they say that almost none of the female offenders are even reported.

And kindly imagine how you would feel if the numbers were reversed, and a man were saying "Oh, these few guys who are raping children aren't that big a problem, we really only need to deal with the perverse women." I suspect you'd be spitting blood.

There are some of us who've spent a considerable amount of effort to spread awareness of female sex offenders. These are people who can literally operate with impunity, do anything to any child, specifically because social attitudes brush them off and pretend that they don't exist.
