Does anyone deny this? It's a biological fact. The strength difference is not going to go away. Laws & social norms already condemn & punish violence particularly when by men against women. I don't know what more they want.

Its nearly always related to a collective blame mentality and this is revealed when you point out that men are the primary victims of violence and are told 'Yes, but by other men.' This is really, really worrying.

Women are disproportionately victims of violence (and murder) at the hands of men in their domestic relationships. The confronting of a “male violent criminal” isn’t what we’re talking about. How do you propose to lessen it if not by pointing it out? Or should we just accept it?
-
They are male violent criminals. How do you think constantly going on about the fact that more violent criminals are men is going to lessen it?
-
Also not saying “more violent criminals are men”. Saying women are disproportionately victims of violence in domestic relationships, at the hands of men. That’s a subset of violence. Why shouldn’t men confront and acknowledge that violence? Prosecution is punitive after fact. /2

It's 60/40 here so I do know that men commit more violence in relationships. They should confront it and get help before they hurt someone, I agree. There's no point the vast majority of men who don't commit violence being asked to confront it.
-
It is also a fact that men are 10X more likely to become victims of violent crime outside relationships making them the majority of victims of violence. Violence is the problem, not men.
-
Not really. Men perpetrate the violence. Violence is not a problem on its own because it doesn’t exist without a perpetrator. I’m a man and I recognize my capacity for violence is greater than the vast majority of women. /1

Most violence is committed by men. But vast majority of men are not violent, either towards other men or in their domestic relationships.
-
Certainly. I'm not saying most men are violent. I'm not saying men are responsible for other men's violence. I'm saying there is a problem with a subset of people, mostly male, who commit the vast majority of violence. That's probably not happenstance and is relevant truth.

It is not useful constantly since men are only stronger in average.
-
The difference is enormous. I think its that 90% of men are stronger than 95% of women? Nearly double the upper body strength. World class female athletes lose to male high school teams? Is that right
@yeyoza? -
IIRC there was a study comparing female athletes to non-sporty men that found the men, on average, to have 50% more upper body strength.
