It's hard to find stats for the US, but here's one from Canada:

Men are overwhelmingly the majority of victims of stranger violence and robberies.

Getting punched in the face or losing your wallet is a bit less traumatizing than sexual assault perhaps...


I suggest looking into the stats on sexual assault. The "OMG did you hear..." stories we tell each other aren't reflective of underlying reality.
