No, it means exactly what is says: that means that in 8 out of 10 cases, a woman recognizes the man who attacks her. Where is the Justice Department statistic that says all men, or even the majority, participate in the violation of women?

Why do they think this? Because they believe Terry's myth: that only a few deviant, strange men commit violence against women)

This is a poor attempt at putting words in my mouth. Stated as such, I would disagree with the so-called 'Terry's myth'. What I am saying is that because some men are criminals it does not follow that all men are criminals.

The Justice Department documents that women are most likely to be raped and/or murdered by a man that they know- their lover, husband, male relative, male neighbor, male work associate, male clergy, male teacher...

Agreed.
Wrong. I haven't attacked anybody. You consistently make a leap that is not supported by the evidence you sight. You nullify the possibility of the man who is innocent of violence. And by making an unjust claim maligning the integrity of these men you loose the support that would otherwise be easily yours.
The kind of self-blame that you project onto all men doesn't just occur spontaneously. What happened to you to cause these feelings of guilt and self-loathing?
