I think Domestic Violence is real and steps should be taken to prevent it, that most murders are very personal, but I get the feeling if all women everywhere spent more time outside it would probably result in even more deaths.
Many places in the world do not have safe streets.
So you’re saying ‘most women die in places with women in them’?
Yes, that’s typically the places where it happens.
I explicitly spoke of the places where the women aren’t dying but could be dying, how you got from that to your completely unrelated statement is unknown to me.
Okay so you’re just a weirdo whos afraid of going outside and thinks people whose name you know are inherently safe. Cool.
No, I’m a pedant who feels the need to correct vague or innacurate headlines over semantics.
inaccurate
Oh my.
I think it’s not about the amount of time you spend at home but the persons you spend that time with. If they want to kill you, they find an occasion to do so. It’s probably much safer to live alone in a house than to live (outside) on the streets but that’s just a guess, I have no data to support it
Do you think their chances are better with or without a bear?
That’s a tough one. I know what you mean. Living with a bear will make your partner busy and therefore less motivated to kill you. But again, no data just a gut feeling
What steps should be taken? Yes, I know the old refrain “teach men not to be violent” but how exactly do we do that? Most men aren’t violent. We like to drink beer, smoke weed, and play video games.
At the same time, some men are entitled, arrogant, violent, narcissistic assholes. Us regular guys hate being around them and generally try to avoid them as much as possible. We feel bad for anyone who ends up on a Tinder date with one of these creeps but there’s nothing we can do about that!
-
Creating pathways for women to succeed and be independent. <— first and foremost
-
Creating support networks and safe spaces for women to get away from abusers. (These networks should also exist for men)
-
Investigate any and all reports of abuse and educate victims on options to keep themselves safe. Also properly investigate family and friends in such cases of abuse as legitimate suspects.
-
Yes, as you said, teach men and women empathy, inclusiveness, emotional intelligience, and also history and culture involving disparity between men and women in society at large. In Schools.

So, what he says downthread: arf arf.
Now I want to see per country stats.
Funny enough if you reduce the number of men committing murder you save lives across the board, hell men would even benefit more from it than women by the numbers.
Yep!
In all honesty it took me a good 5 min to remember the lesson from the BLM movement that a positive statement doesn’t imply the negative before recognizing this as the way to frame that emotional response. …even though my gender is misaligned with that response. Patriarchial brainrot runs deeeeeep
