Might be true. Somewhat muddied by the fact that most legal definitions of rape includes the forcible penetration with a penis or an object in a non-consenting partner. A definition that almost entirely excludes female perpetrators (who can force full-fledged intercourse on an unwilling or even unconscious partner, and then only be convicted of sexual assault.) I would argue that if the definition is changed to something like "sexual intercourse with a non-consenting individual", the numbers would even out considerably. It's also worth pointing out that the whole "all men are potential rapists" is a lie bordering on the slanderous; 4% of men possess the cerebral makeup (which is detectable) that make them a potential rapist, and not even all of these men are rapists. 90% of rapes comitted by male perpetrators are by men in this 4% category, and most rapists are repeat offenders, which means that the actual number of rapists is even lower than the stats suggest.

Even if you could show me that there's an overwhelming majority of men comitting or supporting the comitting of various politically or religiously motivated crimes (which I doubt you could), this means nothing.

See above. Even further muddied by the fact that when women want someone dead, they often get a man to do it for them.

More likely to be aggressive - Males
Now you're arguing that biology is somehow a fault on mens part? Seriously? Unsurprisingly, men have higher levels of male sex hormone, testosterone. This is the reason for our greater muscular strength, our greater degree of competitiveness and, yes our greater tendency towards aggression. This increased competitiveness is also the reason why you're not likely to ever see 50/50 gender representation in positions of political or corporate power; getting to the top means working hard and fighting against a lot of stiff competition. It's not that women are worse at it, or that all the evil males are oppressing them, it's that fewer women than men have the inclination to do it.

See above.

Less likely to show emotions or feelings - Males
Also a question of biology. After puberty, men have a much harder time doing things like crying, because of hormones. Men are actually more likely to show their love, their hate and everything inbetween through their actions rather than just displays. Why is this bad?

More likely to sexually harass females - Males
The majority of men are straight. Thus, of the men that are inclined to sexually harass at all, most of them would harass females. It would be just as true to say that people who sexually harass men are more likely to be female.

More likely to be dangerous to women - Males
Complete and utter lie. A man spotted in public hurting a woman will be mobbed by other men and beaten to a pulp. A woman engaging in the same behaviour might at worst have to put up with people filming it on their phones. Women are more scared of being mugged and assaulted, but men are wildly overrepresented as victims of both crimes.

Would not let women vote for decades - Males
The vote is a complex issue more related to class and legislation than to gender. The short version is that women didn't have the vote because women didn't have the draft, as well as being exempt from several other social and legal responsibilities.

Pretty much a straight up lie.

Although additional research in this area is clearly needed, this study leads to the unambiguous conclusion that the differences in the compensation of men and women are the result of a multitude of factors and that the raw wage gap should not be used as the basis to justify corrective action. Indeed, there may be nothing to correct.
