Interesting point.

Hardly. He's been dead 30 years!

Wildbushlady · 28/12/2025 21:05

Statistically? A step father.

FiatLuxAdAstra · 28/12/2025 21:04

Her parents.

Apologies - a poster wrote something like brown skinned men as the answer to your question. That reply appears to have disappeared

Yes I saw that, someone wrote “a dark skinned man she’s attracted to” but no one seemed to have noticed or cared!

They are most likely to murder after partner/husband and other close male relatives.

Partner or husband.

Tell that to the quarter of a million women who die each year due to childbirth. Oh wait, you can't.

Nah. Far more likely to be offed by your husband/partner/boyfriend/ex or your son. Sad but true.

Orangemintcream · 28/12/2025 20:52

Only this week, I heard or read somewhere that approx 9-10% of all women killed by men are killed by their sons. I just Googled to check and confirm this. Google says ’in the 15 years between 2009 and March 2025, more than 170 mothers were killed by their sons’. That info apparently comes from the Femicide Census and other reports.

Their baby. Childbirth is still one of the riskiest things women do.

A man who wants women to pay 50/50 while she does all the housework, childcare and child rearing, cooking, all domestic chores etc. And he just pays 50% of the bills.

I always laugh at the notion that a situation where all financial costs are split equally but the woman does all the childcare and domestic labour is seen as 50/50.

Very good point.

Otherwise I think step-father/mum's partner (although they can be a danger to the mum's sons as well as daughters).

JHound · 28/12/2025 20:47

A bad romantic partner (a great one is quite something else though.)

confusedctf · 28/12/2025 20:47

For the child :-
The mothers partner/ step father. So you could argue the mother who fails to protect!

For the adult it's her partner/ husband.

MEN

Luckyingame · 28/12/2025 20:46

A man.
Sometimes it starts as early as with fathers.
