I really don't know how much of a minority of men it is....many more men are doing this than you think. I guarantee you know many. Every woman knows many women that have been assaulted and harassed. This isn't done by an evil handful of guys.
It is a minority of men. What is actually underestimated is what percentage of women are affected. It's a much larger percentage of women than most people think. Because one rapist can have many victims. So it might be up to 1 in 5 women or more experience sexual violence but that doesn't mean it has to be a 1 to 1 mapping to 1 in 5 men comitting the assaults.
Also it's good to be aware of the scale of our world. Like for example IF 1% of 1% of our total world population were, for example, murderers. That would still be over 800,000 people, nearly a million. So a tiny percentage of a large number of people can still be a shockingly large total number. Just to be clear I'm not saying Rape is this rare. And even if it was only 1, something should be done about it. I'm just saying it's good to keep in mind that our brains don't really handle scale well when assessing risk.

Men and women are together everywhere else in society. Is he saying American servicemen are unable to not rape?
