This is peak boomer, “well I did this and I’m okay” energy.
Your experiences do not erase the statistics of women’s issues.

Okay. Murder victims are predominantly male (~3/4) aged 30 or younger.
So if what you both say is true, women are more likely to be abducted, men are more likely to be murdered.
Yeah, exactly. The difference is that men don't let it control whether or not they go outside.
I'm willing to bet those male murder statistics are just related to gang activity. That's not a huge part of the general population. 99.999999% of men are probably pretty safe to walk around outside alone and not get bothered or noticed at all.
That doesn't tell much, the important stat is how big of a risk is there that a given person will be abducted at all. Obviously 73% sounds horrifying but 73% of what percentage of the population? Who's doing the abducting? Are there other factors that increase your risk bf being abducted?
73% of abductions are females. Therefore 27% of abductions are male.
100 % of lightning victims are people.
And 50% of my phalanges are on my left side.
