No, but they want sex just like men do. So celibacy isn’t a solution for the larger problem, it just ensures everyone is unhappy. And just as important it isn’t a “solution” most people will accept so it’s useless. It’s the gender-relations equivalent of abstinence-only sex education.

False comparison, that’s an assault.

As has been repeatedly been pointed out, the answer to that question is “a woman”. One more time; the problem is the lopsided favoring of women when it comes to such accusations, not any particular woman. There’s no identifiable group of women that can be avoided to stay safe.
