Okay but seriously, despite being only 49% of the population, men commit almost 90% of all murders. And that's not arrests, that's convictions. The vast majority of serial killers, abusers, and so on are men. By far the more violent and dangerous demographic.
I wonder how much of that is just because men are bigger and stronger, most of the time. Like, if women were the larger and more powerful sex would the odds be different? As it stands, men being bigger and stronger means women being scared of a man attacking them is entirely rational.
Like absent any discussion of social conditioning or patriarchal norms or history or statistics just on a raw analysis of size and strength it seems that yeah, fairly reasonable and not "misandry" for women to worry about a man doing something bad to them. Even if the odds of an attack from a man or a woman were 100% equal the man would be the more dangerous attacker.
Most murders in the US are done with handguns. I'm sure even out of shape women are totally capable of committing murder.
Even considering size, there's a huge overlap between women and men in size. Plenty of men are the height and weight of an average woman. But they don't seem to be as fearful of walking alone and they aren't significantly less likely to commit murder themselves. It's a complex situation, but I think the biggest factor is the relationship between violence and patriarchy.
That 90% also includes man on man violence
I remember something about men thinking that, without training, they could beat women who were pro cage fighters, or something. Youโre like that arenโt you?
No, not at all. A trained fighter would absolutely crush me. I was just musing on how it's not misandry in the original post and I think I articulated it poorly.
GOOD bit
Men do really ruin midnight walks. Hell, they even ruin it for me. A man.
How many women are randomly killed by women when walking at night? Of course her primary concern is if a man will murder her.
Not to mention that 'murder' can be substituted with a cornucopia of awful verbs in that sentence.
I feel a lot of internal conflict thinking on the one hand that men are far too violent and aggressive and need to be socialized differently, and on the other hand that I want to personally rip limb from limb the men who feel entitled to physically assert themselves on women. We started with curious wolves long ago and ended up with border collies doing that once, maybe it would work again.
Kinda eugenics territory there though, i think that genie should remain firmly in its lamp
Idk, I'm thinking I wanna rub the lamp just a little bit.
I dont think we need to "breed" different men, but something like a joint dictatorship of the oppressed genders
JDPOGGERS
I dont think we posted about it when it happened but back when the meme of "would you rather find a bear or a man in the woods" was popular someone posted it in world and it because the biggest misogynist cesspool in the lemmyverse
dotworlders might be even more regressive than the median redditor tbh
I think itโs because dotworld attracted the core reddit fundamentalists (white cishet techie xillenial men with shitty humor) more than any other demographic when the third party clients went down and basically no one else
seriously. i can't believe i'm saying this but redditors aren't even nearly as misogynistic as these ghouls keep proving to be.
it actually was a good honeypot on hexbear
I really don't understand the people who got mad about it and tried to dunk on women with statements like "hurrr don't you know bears are dangerous and grizzlies eat you alive???"
Wow, bears are dangerous? Somebody should have told me.
It's the same energy as anti-communist dipshits going "vivizel 10 million billion stalins"
somebody put these fuckin lobsters back into the sea
HAHAHAHA ๐คก๐คก๐คก๐คก๐คก๐คก๐คก
going boldly unto death on my way back from picking up a hungry man frozen dinner at wal-mart
Guy pretending not to know why you shouldn't punch women is one of my favourite genres of idiot
I think those are the kind that outright deny that it even happens.
Won't someone think of the men
we need city bears to fight the men
I know there are studies on perception of danger at night, but I wonder if there are any that actually look at violence committed.
I'm a cis man and I would watch vulnerable women kick men in the balls all day long.
That's a weird fuckin sentence.

or why the reddit exodus completely ruined lemmy
found the thread and there's barely any pushback. anyone with lemmy alts wanna help?
update: holy fucking shit these losers are hopeless
Wait hold on it looks like Valerie Solanas has reincarnated
This is basically copaganda. It is extremely rare for a non drug trade/sex trade worker to be killed by a stranger. Blonde white women are faaaaar safer walking my city streets than black men in my town.
I saw that post earlier and had to close Lemmy... All the misogynists came out of the woodwork for that one.
every one of these men know sheโs fucking right. im a nonbinary person but i was assigned male at birth and all i know is iโve never been walking at night afraid some woman was gonna attack me but the constant thought that a man will is in my head and the same can be said for basically anybody walking at night
