. I've found this after deciding to scroll through the "expert incel researcher" William Costello's Twitter account. Not much interesting stuff there, though I do like how often he repeats that the idea that people rape because they don't get sex is complete bullshit and has been known to be bullshit for decades, that really can't be repeated enough.
Anyway, this tweet he retweeted actually caught my attention:

Just the fact that the abstract above doesn't divide people by their sexual orientation, meaning that you are left to wonder whether it's homosexuals pushing the numbers up for men especially had me wondering what the numbers are. So, I found the numbers for heterosexuals only, and here's how it looks like compared:
Nothing even approaches being thrice as common for one gender than the other. There's three categories of behaviour which are about twice as common of a nonconsensual experience for one gender than the other, with men reporting being bit by their partners in the last year twice as often as women do, women report being choked without their consent in both past year and in their lifetime about twice often as men do, and they also report being called names twice as often in the past year and something over twice as often in their lifetime.
And, that's it, nothing else really stands out. Quite the difference from the narrative of hordes of men forcing women into rough sex they find uncomfortable, isn't it? I've even seen people on this site talk about their experiences of some weirdo "speakers" coming to their schools to lecture the young boys there on how to treat women or something, meanwhile this is what it looks like in reality.
And in case anyone wonders, while this is what the numbers look like for heterosexuals, it turns out homos' numbers are actually pretty similar. At most the differences are again around twice as much or so for most of those. The big finding here was that bisexuals, and especially bisexual women, are much more likely to experience nonconsensual acts like this from their partners, but the numbers for other groups are actually pretty similar to each other.

Prevalence and Demographic Correlates of “Rough Sex” Behaviors: Findings from a U.S. Nationally Representative Survey of Adults Ages 18–94 Years - Archives of Sexual Behavior
Rough sex behaviors have become prevalent among young adults in the U.S. and internationally. However, little is known about these behaviors at the population level. Using nationally representative survey data of 9029 U.S. adults, we aimed to provide population estimates and demographic...
