Feminism claims of male violence are hugely exagerated and a tiny proportion of the risks women face
Whenever you read a feminist site, violence towards girls, or women, form men is one of the major talking points. Whether it's sex crimes or homicide, it features predominately in discourse. Now, obviously crime is horrible, it's awful. Nobody should be attacked and the full weight of the law and law enforcement should be deployed to protect people against crime.
However whenever you dig into the statistics, or look a little closer the whole story seems rather more complicated than "horrible man beating women" which has almost become such a meme amongst feminist circles.
Here's the actual numbers, the risks that women face in life in 21st Century United Kingdom:
Activity | Fatalities |
---|---|
Dementia | 40,256 |
Diabetes mellitus | 30,132 |
Alzheimer's disease | 25,789 |
Parkinson's disease | 22,456 |
Heart disease | 18,789 |
Stroke | 15,678 |
Respiratory diseases | 12,345 |
Travelling by road | 400 |
Homicide | 156 |
Feminists would save more lives by campaigning against the food industry to help fight obesity. Outside of the numbers of death that women expereinced a teeny, tiny percentage is travelling by car. Even lower than that is homicide, murder. It's extremely rare. If a woman goes out for the evening her biggest risk is travelling there and back by car.
Really if a woman comes across a bear, a man and a motorcar in the middle of the woods the most dangerous thing she could do would be to eat the chocolate bar she has with her, second to that it would be to get into the car and drive off in it.
The serious point to this is just to show the inherent misandry in feminist discussions. It is there to find awful facts about men and to show how terrible men are to women. It's not based on protectng women, or making women safer. If it were they would be campainging on Road Traffic Safety. The primary purpose is to hate men and show them in the most negative light they can.
