I actually don’t think this is as true as is often assumed. Men are far more likely to be murder victims than women are.
Sexual violence is another matter however.
I wonder if that's still true if gang violence is not counted.
I’m not sure. This is a complicated topic and I would assume that a higher proportion of male victims “provoked” their killer in some way. But I don’t know that there’s real data on that. I also think we need to acknowledge that this fact does not justify their deaths.
I recently started jogging through this long, dark trail that hosts a nearby homeless encampment, and honestly didn't think about it at all until my partner raised her eyebrow at where I was jogging. Just one of those little patriarchy taxes that I don't have to pay.
Not that unhoused people are particularly dangerous or anything, but still you're less certain if you're going to meet someone on a really bad day there
I'm a man and I wouldn't think going on that trail would be a good idea, unless there were lots of other joggers there at the same time. I don't fear being alone in the countryside but I'm much more wary in an urban area.
It's fairly mid traffic because it cuts across a part of the city, so you're likely to run into someone on a bike or something every ten or so minutes
While a lot of these were certainly relevant in 1990, i think we've made great progress in some areas; particularly around precipitation of cognitive abilities, employment, and corporate position.
Women still suffer a shitpile around children/family views and, as you and this article point out, victimization from sexual assault and violence.
We could still do with a decrease in men thinking the sun rises out of their assholes, despite being marginal in performance or social values. Far too many basement trolls wallowing in a muddy mixture of Dorito dust and mountain dew, thinking they know it all.
We men also need to do a L O T of work on developing emotional intelligence, healing wounds from toxic masculinity (boys don't cry) and passing this on to future generations.
E; I was trying to reply to the guy who posted the list of white male privileges but failed fantastically.
Grumbles as he crawls back into his hole to die
In my home town I definitely wouldn't go out after dark on my own. Too many twats with knives.
I know I’m in the minority of guys, but over half of them don’t apply to me.
