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.
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.
