  They can, but you are 7.5 times more likely to be murdered by a man.

    Certain minorities have higher chances of committing crimes as well but treating them differently based on that is textbook discrimination. Weird how one judgment is okay and the other is not.

      Not 7.5 times higher though. No other factor is as big a predictor as gendered violence. Men commit violence against women and other men much, much more often than women do.

      And if you are a man, you should be just as mad because the chances that you are a victim of a violent firm by another man is much higher too.

      Not all men are violent, but men and women are both victims of the anger of this small-subset of men that we have been unable to identify what else they have in common beyond gender.

        that we have been unable to identify what else they have in common beyond gender.

        Don’t look at a breakdown by race or google 13/52, you might find that generalizing based on demographics and using it to fearmonger like you’re doing is in actuality a tactic also already used by racists to other the outgroup and scare their base too. Don’t worry though you’re fine, it’s only bad when they do it.

    I wonder if that’s only for the USA, does that apply to other countries as well?

      Got you covered!

      “A 2013 global study on homicide by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime found that men account for an average of 95% of all persons convicted of homicide”

        There’s more thane one reason someone might not be convicted of homicide and it’s not always because a homicide didn’t happen.

  oh for fuck’s sake you know this is full of shit. just because women are technically physically capable of doing it, that doesn’t mean they’re statistically an equal threat.

  Aww man mad.

    Well, yeah. Who is doing the overwhelming majority of the murdering? And why does this fact bother upstanding men at all? Are you not secure in your ability to convince others that you’re not a threat? I have no problem with that at all.
