The DOJ disagrees with you. They say 216,000 victims of rape and sexual assault assault per year, meaning that it's likely that more men are raped in prison than women raped outside prison. It's epidemic, for sure. I suppose you think that you know the prevalence because men who got raped readily told you about it.

If pot and alcohol are gateway drugs because people who use coke, speed, and heroin first used pot and alcohol, do you consider milk, aspirin, and Reese's peanut butter cups to be gateway drugs?

You seem unclear about what "strawman" means. This might help: www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/straw-man.html.

I agree that the idea of gateways is predictive. I can identify any case of a milk drinker and predict, "this person has some probability of eventually using speed" more accurately than you can say of any case of a pot smoker "this person has some probability of using heroin". But this is practically useless because we don't know that there is any measure of causation. Nor do you know using alcohol causes heroin use.

If 10% of the population has PTSD, and 11% of those who do not have PTSD use alcohol, and all of those with PTSD use alcohol, and 1% of those without PTSD who use alcohol then use coke, while 95% of those with PTDS who use alcohol go on to use coke, and 1% of those who have never used alcohol use coke, some simpleton will say that alcohol is a gateway drug when obviously there is a correlation but no causation, ignoring the fact that PTSD is the real gateway. The fact is, drug use is very complicated, we don't have enough evidence to say what the gateways are. Yet we have stronger evidence to support the conclusion that milk is a predictor of addition than pot. So let go of the bullshit McGruff told you in your fifth grade DARE course about people eating psylocibin, vomiting, then eating their own vomit in desperation to "get high," and the nonsense about gateway drugs. You were being tricked by people who don't know shit.
