Then it’s 0.009% of sexual violence between gay and bisexual men

I'm sorry Glenn genuinely this is a total stats fail 0.009% relates to absolutely nothing that's been said in this thread.

Well if 1.8% is the percentage of gay men and nearly half (45%) have experienced sexual violence. I just halved 1.8%

Well for one that would be 0.9% not 0.009% and for two that would be saying:

"0.9% of the overall general population are gay men who have experienced sexual assault"

Which (by these numbers) is correct as a statement, but it doesn't really mean anything .

Well the calculator came out with 0.009% not me.

And either way that’s the percentage of gay related sexual crimes.

It's around 52% of women who experience sexual assault so quite close to the percentage of gay men as victims. What that tells me is it doesn't really matter if a man is straight or gay, men in general are by far the biggest perpetrators of sexual assaults

It isn't. I dunno what to say. Both the maths and the interpretation are just not correct.

You need a calculator to half 1.8? Why? It's exactly the same as halving 18, but you move the decimal point.

And I guarantee no calculator had trouble with dividing 1.8 by 2 ... that is the problem you entered into your calculator, right?
