I googled “what fraction of famous stalkees are female”. After insisting I meant “stalkees” not “stalkers”, Google’s AI said:
Available statistics suggest that a significantly larger fraction of famous stalkees are female. Some studies indicate that women account for about 70% to 80% of all stalking victims, according to Oxford Academic.
However, some research focusing specifically on celebrity stalking, particularly involving television personalities, suggests a more balanced gender distribution among victims, where the percentages of male and female respondents who reported being stalked were similar.
This is false. Many men have stalkers. Basically any male celebrity, for instance… even minor, local or “internet” celebrities often have stalkers.
I didn’t say males don’t have stalkers. There is simply a large statistical disparity: the very large majority of stalkers stalk females.
I did say upthread “likely to have a stalker at some point”, not certain to have/not have one. That is what’s relevant to EV/risk.
The sort of person who is likely to have a stalker, if you know nothing about this person other than their sex, is very likely female.
The sort of person who is likely to have a stalker, conditional on being at all famous, cannot have their sex predicted so easily.

Which, unfortunately, doesn’t give the answers in its abstract, and doesn’t appear on sci-hub.
