I do not and can not deny that men commit much more severe crimes then women. According to FBI crime data, men are guilty of 97% of rape and sexual assault, 88% of murder, and 76.5% of aggravated assault.
Even though 71% of those arrested for simple assault are men, it is possible/likely that women commit most simple assault. For example, according to many studies, women hit their intimate partners more then men. Few of them are arrested.
Nevertheless, the point stands that men commit a big majority of sexual offenses (97%), murder (88%), and aggravated assault (76.5%). According to a 2002 study, 6.5% of all men have committed rape. Other studies give higher numbers. Based on conviction data alone, only 1% of all men in USA are sex offenders -- about 230,000 in prison and 830,000 under lifetime supervision.
On the other hand, over 80% of men are not guilty of any major crime. Are men the morally inferior gender? Many women think so. A few express this sentiment overtly, while most express it in a slightly veiled form -- like ``men are pigs", ``men are trash", ``men are the worst". Should men view themselves as the morally inferior gender? Many men do. They second sentiments mentioned above or at least take no offense.
In Liberal circles, disagreeing with any negative generalization about men is considered unacceptable. "Not all men" is a famous meme making fun of those who disagree with these generalizations.
