Child molestation is a type of sexual assault.
Are you disputing that a large majority of sexual assaults and/or child molestations are comitted by males?
I just did a search of the Megan's law database, using my own zip code and half a dozen others, and here's what I found.
In my zip code, one female registered sex offender, more than 80 males.
Jumping around a bit we get: 2 females, over 100 males. 0 females, 70+ males. 1 female, more than 100 males.
Male sex offenders outnumber females in my quick little survey by a factor of between 50 and 100 to 1.
In Los Angeles County about 1 female for every five to six pages of males.
I don't see how there can be any dispute that men commit these crimes much more often than women, and that, by your own admission based on raveneye's statistics, men are more likely to choose stranger abduction as their method of aquiring a victim.
It's unreasonable to be suspicious of a man trying to sell you insurance or who's looking after your child's safety at a party; I agree completely on those. Being cautious of a strange man around a group of kids in a park is also, I think, an understandable reaction.
