And if research about race and crime were published, do you think there would be any patterns?

Relative risk vs absolute risk. When majority does something, I wouldnt fault someone. You arent biased if a majority does something, your realistic. When a small minority does something, and you lay it upon all the rest, your biased. Even if relatively, they do it more.

That's not different than the situation presented by op

Yes, and that would be wrong based on what I wrote above. Also, a presumption of innocence is baked into the law system. This is simply because the stakes are so much higher.This high bar shouldn't be held for daily life.

There is no population where they have >50% crime rate (unless you are sampling from a prison). Nowhere near this. Thus, you are severely biased.

I never said they did. You're assuming my bias and applying a racist dog whistle to it, when I never quoted statistics. I simply asked for op and the commenter I was responding to, to treat gender as if they would race, and make the same assumptions and treat it, socially, the same.

No where did I quote race and crime statistics.

No one here has presented any statistics on fathers in the delivery room being supportive.

Everyone's arguments are just based on feelings and misandry.

Your argument that presumption of innocence is baked into the law system but shouldn't be baked into daily life is flawed and biased.
