Ehhh… maybe they are, statistically. I am sometimes shocked by what goes on in the world; things like trafficking and seeking “prostitues” (including very young individuals and always the desperate or defeated) is observed to involve mostly men. There are some atrocious women who make excuses for such men, enable them, or facilitate the process — like Ghislaine Maxwell who Donald Trump said was a friend of his and that he wished her well. Sometimes, it is wives. Anyway, I still don’t agree with the statement as a generalization, but it is the way some people are. It could be jealousy, it could be camouflage.
