    Most serial killers, most violent offenders, are men.

    In the US, violent offenders are also disproportionately performed by black folk (including being an actual majority for homicide and robbery). I suspect you don’t think we should make assumptions about black folks being violent though? I doubt you think when someone is killed we should simply assume the killer is black because the killer is usually black?

    And note, I’m not arguing that we should - I’m using it as an illustrative point of why this line of thinking is bullshit.
