    Men are just as likely to get murdered by men as women are likely to get murdered by men.

    And yet men are not afraid of talking to other men.

    It ain’t the stats, it’s the perception.

      Thank you for being the voice of reason, and backing it up with data, Any chance you can share the source?

      Women are physically inferior to men, and most men don’t have a sense of romantic entitlement towards other men. I really can’t believe I have to explain why the dynamic of men telling another man no is different from a woman doing the same.

          Fear of demonstrably real repercussion. Not unwarranted fear.

          You’re trying to state that the fear should be just the same, but the dynamic is not. Men don’t tend to kill other men out of unrequited love. Trying to say that the difference lies purely in how the media portrays the problem is completely ignoring the context.

          It doesn’t matter if the murder rate of men to women vs men is roughly the same if the causes are fundamentally different.
