Maybe this; I quote (I'm assuming I don't need to CW given the whole thread is but I'll edit if I'm wrong):

Computer-assisted self-interviews were completed with a random sample of 163 unmarried Caucasian and African American men in a large metropolitan area. Almost a quarter (24.5%) of these men acknowledged committing an act since the age of 14 that met standard legal definitions of attempted or completedremoved; an additional 39% had committed another type of sexual assault involving forced sexual contact or verbal coercion

Then again it might be this (depressing I found two candidate studies immediately with a single shitty search):

In college and community samples, rates of self-reportedremoved perpetration range from 6% to 15%, and rates of sexual assault perpetration range from 22% to 57%

I didn't look at either in depth / their methodology; but I wouldn't be surprised. I am a man and I can count on the fingers of a single hand the amount of men I've known in my life that didn't feel comfortable saying objectifying stuff about women when there were none around.

(Koss et al., 1987; Koss, Heise, & Russo, 1994). In college and community samples, rates of self-reported rape perpetration range from 6% to 15%, and rates of sexual assault perpetration range from 22% to 57% (Abbey et al., 1998; Calhoun, Bernat, Clum, & Frame, 1997; Koss et al., 1987; Muehlenhard & Linton, 1987; Rapaport & Burkhart, 1984; Senn, Desmarais, Verberg, & Wood, 2000).

Calhoun et al. [1997] surveyed 65 young men in a rural community in Georgia who had recently participated in a study of school-aged youth. The average age of participants was 19 and most were Caucasian. Twenty-two percent of these men (n = 14) had perpetrated some type of sexual assault based on their answers to a modified version of the SES; 6.4% had committed an act that met standard legal definitions of completed rape

Senn et al. [2000] surveyed a representative sample of 195 men in a small Canadian city. Participants ranged in age from 19 to 82 and most were Caucasian. Using a modified version of the SES, 27% of participants reported committing some type of sexual assault; 7.7% reported committing attempted or completed rape. M

One large noncollege study was conducted with a special population. Merrill et al. [2001] surveyed 7,850 male US navy recruits from three different locations. These men were on average 20 years of age and approximately two-thirds were Caucasian. Using a shortened form of the SES, approximately 11% of these men reported that they had committed an act that met standard legal definitions of rape.

So yeah, there's quite a few different studies......all of them paint a pretty dark picture. They are self reported, so the number could potentially be even higher.

Unfortunately it may very well be higher.

oh it's almost certainly much higher

Yeah...... Definitely not a good thing. I'm a pretty masc dude who's always gotten along better with women. I played football in school and the way those guys talked about women made me quit teamed sports.

My best friend from highschool was the only dude I ever really got close too and they ended up transitioning about 5 years ago, we are still besties.

I don't really know if anyone in the last 5 years could even get funding to do that kind of study. Schools kinda started to lock down that kind of research about a decade ago. The studies I was thinking of were from the 00s, back when schools first really started to pretend to care about women.

Judging by the ages in the study the assaults had probably happened more recently, like in the last 2-3 years.
