    It’s insane you’re getting this downvoted. Domestic violence from men against women is a massive global issue, and putting your hands over your ears and saying “ well I’m not the problem” is not doing anything. This problem will never get solved until men take ownership over it and stop it.

      Domestic violence is a global issue. But you’re not helping anyone by further pushing a stereotype and ignoring the problem. Do you think only cis men are capable of domestic violence? Because such a though would be bigoted in a few different ways to be honest.

        Are we talking about what’s possible or what is likely?

        Here I’ll answer both:

        1. Yes anyone is capable of violence
        2. 95% of all murder is by men, so is much more likely.

        Bonus: men are far more likely to be a victim of violence than a woman. Men also should be cautious around strange new men!

          That stat is entirely reductive and meaningless. And two of your answers are sexist. Not that I think you give a shit.

            How? How is a statistic like this meaningless?

            If the statistic were reversed, you’re going to tell me that you wouldn’t care? If 95% of murders were committed by women? You don’t need to answer, I already know.

            The reality, though, is if that were ever the case, men would immediately put a stop to it, and it would be no time before women were relegated to baby-making machines with no agency like freaks like Vance want.

              I’d be calling bullshit still. Sensationalized “stats” for the sake of views on “news”/blogs/podcasts is nothing new and I will not subscribe to it. I’m not sure which fallacies are in play here but I suspect it’s several.

              If 95% of murders were committed by women? You don’t need to answer, I already know.

              You really don’t.

              This is a thread about Rebecca Cheptegei and you bring Vance into this… something 100% unrelated and is frankly, disrespected to the deceased. The problem is, you spend way to much time on the internet/news cycle and now you have a screwed up view of reality. You need to largely disconnect from the internet for a significant period of time
