Sexual assault rates of women are not direct indicators of the number of, or gender of, perpetrators. 1/3 of women being victims doesn't make 1/3 of men perpetrators. That does not follow.
Asking people if they're a sexual abuser isn't going to have them saying yes. This is a known barrier in research to getting accurate information of prevalence because people won't be honest if you ask them if they are an abuser. So asking men I know really isn't great advice, is it?
Also let me guess, 1/3 of women experience sexual assault of some kind, at some point in their life? That's a pretty wide net to cast...
Perhaps you can clarify what makes someone a 'disgusting predator' so we're both not he same page?
Go have those conversations.
For reasons that should be obvious, no.
