That's a great point, and I completely agree that reported stats are not equal to the actual stats. I would still say that there are more women raped in America than men.
Incidentally, this (even assuming reliable victimization stats that weren't distorted by it) is one of the reasons why I wouldn't assume that the threat was necessarily less serious issued against a male based simply on victimization stats indicating that women were more likely to be victimized.
