Because it’s not “politically correct.”
Let me give you some statistics from my adjunct work in Sex Assaults when I was a detective for a major California law enforcement agency: roughly 40% to 50% of rape claims by women were false, at my time in the 90s. When investigated fully, the bulk of these women had, in fact, post-coaital regrets. Force and/or rape — non-consensual sex — was not factually or evidentiarily involved.
But I was forbidden from revealing these statistics to my Executive Staff or to others. I was young enough and stupid enough to conform and obey. We were also forbidden from seeking charges against these persons for filing false reports. The DA would not take them because our administration refused to create the cases.
How bad of me to reveal the actual truth from my time in detectives to you now. I am not in keeping with the purple-skied reality of Millennials.
Oh, and yes. The number of men with prostate cancer roughly equal the number of women with breast cancer. Yet, do you see blue ribbons or people walking or running for prostate cancer? Serious sexual disparity, anyone? Bueller?
Of course you don’t.
That would be sexist to reveal the truth.

the first domestic violence injury i ever saw was a young woman on her honeymoon.
she had a broken hand from punching her husband in the head.
One of my first calls as a reserve deputy sheriff in the early 70s was that of a woman calling the emergency lines, saying that she had just shot her husband and could we please pick him up. We found her cooking hamburger on the stove because she was hungry. Her husband was dead, shot in the head, on the linoleum. She had dragged him there because otherwise he would stain the carpet. Neighbors said he had been beaten by her for years.

i can’t top that, but then they had to live to make it to the hospital for me to see them.
i did get a man that, as he came through the door of the trailer house, his loving wife shot him in the belly with a .243 rifle.
made a helluva mess and a very long day for me.
