    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
