Fun fact: People with certain proclivities often cannot conceive of other people not sharing those proclivities. In this case, a serial sexual assaulter and rapist assumes that all men are prone to the same behavior. This is a prime example of what is commonly known as a “self-report.”

I'm wondering if the key term here is "cannot". Just cause I'm super paranoid of everybody's intentions with my daughter doesn't translate into my intentions being wrong. The reason why I linger on "cannot conceive" is cause I am painfully aware of how insane my thoughts are, whereas I'm guessing the true psychos assume everybody is just like them.
