“Lady who has a Bible Verse for every situation.”
Mr. Schmidt: I recall a time when my garage was broken into, Mr. Speaker. They stole my truck, and more importantly, more expensively, they stole the accordion that I was storing in that truck. Determining the value of a truck is rather straightforward. There’s a well-established process for assessing what the value is. Now, I could tell you that the value of that truck that was stolen was probably about $60 because it had a full tank of gas, but determining the value of that accordion was not a simple matter, because there isn’t a well-established process for determining the replacement value of an accordion. The insurance company wanted me to get a certified accordion assessor to evaluate the value of this accordion. Let me tell you that no such thing exists, at least not in Canada. I couldn’t find one. I had to go back and forth for months with this insurance company to determine a fair value of the accordion. It took way too long to settle that process, and we didn’t come to a resolution that was agreeable to me. I’m sure it was agreeable to the insurance company because they sure didn’t have to pay out the amount of money that I felt that I was entitled to.
…
The Speaker: Perhaps I might recommend to the hon. member that he reach out to former member Richard Starke for some advice on the price of accordions. I know he was very passionate about that.

I think you might be confused, OP is speaking about the link which is talking about the sex of the perpetrator, your image is of the sex of the victim. Your link never talks about the perpetrators of sexual violence, as they probably wanted a different page dedicated to it (which OP links).
It is actually quite disturbing as while theoretically we know that most sexual violence against women is perpetrated by men unto women, missing that stat limits our analysis if we are only looking out the outcome of a crime rather than a class perpetuating it.
As an example I'd also turn to a study I read on sexual assault/harassment in a lab workplace. One large survey only took the victim's sex, and the sex of the boss at the workplace, but not the perpetrator. Another survey of the same style did indicate the sex of the perpetrator. What was found from the latter survey was that while women were quite significantly victimized by men, the most common perpetrator for sexual violence against men was also men (in this case). It also found that vertical harassment was more common for female victims (i.e., by a person in higher authority) vs Lateral for male victims (i.e., by one's peers). Though of course, both can and did occur. It also shows another dynamic in that, it is likely that men were more likely to be elevated in status above women career wise and so can benefit both fiscally and socially from the power of said positions.
This analysis would not be there at all had the sex of perpetrator not been recorded.
The absolute insanity of RAINN’s stats on perpetrators of sexual violence never once mentioning sex even though they analyze age, ethnicity, relationship to the victim (of ambiguous sex, apparently), and the types of violence used….the largest anti-sexual violence organization in the USA simply avoiding the statistics of sex-based offending and victimization…they are literally ignoring the epidemic of male violence against women in order to ????? why?????
which one of you motherfuckers am i gonna think about today (reaches blindly into my comfort character basket)
