73% of abductions are females. Therefore 27% of abductions are male.
100 % of lightning victims are people.
And 50% of my phalanges are on my left side.
Okay, but how big of a risk is there for actually being abducted. How many people total out of a given population are victims? Are there other factors like primarily family members, or location based or things like that? Just knowing that most abductees are women doesn't really tell you how concerned women need to be about this. Not arguing for or against the idea, I don't have the data. Just saying the stat you're using by itself isn't valuable.
