Nearly all paedophiles are male. Is it sexist to mention this? No, it's just a fact.

Does follow from this fact that nearly all men are paedophiles? Not at all. Nearly all males are not paedophiles.

Some Mudcatters, however, have difficulties if it is mentioned that members of a minority group are more likely than people not belonging to this group to commit a certain type of crime. That can happen if it is religion what defines the minority group or sexual leaning or whatever.

But in fact, the situation is quite the same as in the innocuous starting paragraphs of my post.

Men with homosexual leanings are more likely than men with heterosexual leanings to commit the crime of paedophilia. That is a simple fact that everyone can know who has read a bit on that field.

Does from that follow that most homosexuals (men) are paedophiles? Not at all. By far most of the homosexual men are not paedophiles.
