Let me spell this out very clearly for the hard of thinking

[KillTheTurkey]

Men commit 99% of all rapes and sexual assaults.

Men (and young men) commit 95-98% of school shootings.

Men commit 90% of all violent crime in the UK.

These are not female crimes, and should never, ever be reported - or recorded - as such. It can safely be assumed in any of the above circumstances that a male person was the perpetrator.

Lots of menz trolls on this site too so don't assume these 'namalts' are women. Menz trolls are the exactly the type of subpar man to minimize male violence. Yes indeedy.

To the tune of “Killing Me Softly”.

I do agree with you, but sadly it's not a tiny minority of women, or men, who have been affected in some way by that tiny minority of men.

True.
Who is most scared of and angry about women talking about male violence and not accepting it? Violent males.
Who feels like something spoken about in general terms is an attack on them specifically? No prizes for guessing who!

Yet its mainly men by a massive number.

Ask yourself or do a real life check

How many women (and men) have been subjected to sex offending?

Of which sex were the offenders

How many men (and women) do you know who admit to being sex offenders?

now we’ve established the gender carries out the overwhelming majority of these crimes these crimes
it might be better to find out what % of the individual overall gender are responsible for these offences
otherwise your just stating your husbands , brothers and dads are all violent rapeist

The point is we can never tell.

some of them will be.

Why are you so concerned about the hurty feelings of my husband and son? Neither are rapists.

But neither are offended if women are wary of them, say in a dark alley or alone in the woods, because how can women tell?

Who cares more about men's delicate feelings than women's safety?

Who said anything about sparing there feelings absolutely no idea where you’ve conjured that up from
I was replying directly to OP original post

Yeah,
In my experience the actually decent men tend to "get it" and aren't offended by suggestions that they avoid acting creepy by, for example, not sitting right next to a woman on an otherwise empty train.

It's the ones who shut down every discussion on sexual violence with a "what about my feelings" that are Sus. Or who talk about all this "hysteria over sexual violence against women" with convicted paedophiles. It very rarely turns out to be about preserving the feelings of innocent men.

Hit dogs hollor in other words.

"So that means 0.12% of men will be convicted of a violent crime"

No it doesn't. It means 0.12% of men were in prison for a violent crime on a certain date (you should have corrected for remand awaiting conviction too). You need lifetime prevalence for your argument. It should also include non-custodial disposals (killed in the incident, mental health detention, served time on remand, alternatives to custody etc). Then you can extrapolate to undetected and unreported incidents. I suspect your 0.36% might be out by a factor of 10.

But my husband’s nice and I met a mean woman once, so that disproves everything

Absolutely made me laugh out loud.

Yes I've missed the point of the thread.

Sex not gender

Sex is female or male

Gender is stereotypical conduct expected from either sex based on the social environment and cultural tradition.

And some nice husbands and nice brothers and nice Dads are violent and/or violent rapists just every single one of them.

The UK produces crime stats.

Sorry , I’m truly struggling to understand your comment, , since I asked what before?, I wasn’t even trying to disagree with the statistics, just presenting the fact that a very small minority of such attacks are female led and it’s clearly wrong to suggest that every single mass shooting/ sexual assault is by males. Don’t get me wrong, their behaviour sickens me as much as any woman on here, but you simply can’t make out statements that aren’t 100 % factual are

So still an overwhelming minority then, albeit a smaller minority. Glad we agree.

Sorry 😕 my bad 👀🚩
I confused you with another poster who was demanding numbers

No, we do not agree. Firstly, you made a category error. Snapshot data is not prevalence. Secondly, you mistake the tenfold difference as non-significant. Prevalence implies both frequency and impact. Impact multiplies disproportionately, given the likelihood that 'victims per perpetrator' is a compound calculation.

Maybe we can do something to stop our sons turning into murderers and rapists.

Yeah, they're largely poverty/addiction fueled offences, with short sentences. Women account for the majority of these sentences.

This despite the fact that it's generally agreed short sentences do more harm than good. Women serving short sentences for this type of crime actually have higher recidivism rates than their male equivalents.

I think (hope?) the "What about Myra Hindly?" comments are more of a bite-back at people making sweeping generalisations than an attempt to dispute or obscure the general point, that men are responsible for the majority of violent/sexual offences.

I think it's also worth remembering that people who are new to these discussions online (or in general) are potentially going to take things a lot more literally.

Nuance and tone is often lost online, and it doesn't help when terms like 'hard of thinking' are being thrown around. It's confrontational and immediately puts people on the defensive.

People might be more likely to offer their thoughts and opinions on where we can go from here as a society if threads were started in a way that encouraged input, rather than 'spelling things out for the hard of thinking'.

I didn’t ignore the difference as non significant, it’s a significant increase but still statistically small. I acknowledge your point on the overall calculation but my point, which is that these crimes are overwhelming committed by men but by an overwhelming minority of men, stands. Anyway, have a lovely Sunday…I’m spending mine with my extremely non violent husband, father, FIL, BIL and their respective families.

Our sons aren’t generally speaking these people, though.

They are the children of terrible drug-addicted families, of hidden abuse, of unmet emotional and educational needs, of macho, abusive fathers, of undiagnosed ND and MH-related issues. These stats are obviously harder to dig into, but it is fairly straightforward to predict which boys are diverging from the others fairly early. Sadly, no amount of institutional help (schools, social services, health services) can significantly change outcomes for children who are on a path to a life of crime.

Today's Scotland Sunday Post. The most dangerous place for a woman to be is her own home.
It is, of course, very important to keep repeating how lovely our own husbands, dads, sons, brothers are, over and over again, like some mantra so men's feelings won't be hurt.
