    You are over three times less likely to be a victim of murder (in the US at least) if you are a woman, than a man.

    There is a big difference in intent. Do these 3x times men been murder just for been a man?

    The femicide(at least in a decent country) is a category of crime, a discriminatory crime, is not a normal murder, is associated with rape or domestic violence, etc.

      How many in that statistic are men being killed by women?

      Thinking this is a question of any merit already exposes you. It does not matter, at all, what sex a murder victim’s murderer is, to the victim–they are equally dead.

      The attempt to minimize male victimhood with this insane implication of ‘if the perpetrator is the same sex, it doesn’t count’ is actually pathetic. For shame.

      Reminder that the vast, vast, vast majority of males have never and will never murder anyone, despite these disgusting sexist narratives.

      There is a big difference in intent.

      Literally irrelevant. The victim is no less murdered. What kind of ridiculous justification is this for devaluing male victims?

      ‘But the reason they were killed isn’t as bad (according to me)!’

      Who in their right mind gives a shit? They’re still murdered! ‘I know your son was murdered, but don’t worry, the motive wasn’t one of the (in my opinion) really bad ones’. Seriously?

      So to push this absurd ‘logic’ just a bit further, if the same number of women were murdered, but the motives were in alignment, incidence-wise, with murdered men, this would be an improvement, in your view, even though the same amount of killing has occurred. Because motive makes a murder more or less bad, apparently. Absolutely absurd.

      ‘Sure men are killed way way more often, but people who kill women are (I assume, hehe) more likely to do it for a way more worser reason’ is some of the dumbest, flailing, desperate attempts I have ever seen to minimize and erase male victimhood.
