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.

Yes, it's relevant of course in a sense. But the current mainstream feminist narrative around that stuff is pretty appalling. "All men are rapists", "teach boys not to rape", equating someone making a sexist joke as being part of a continuum that ends in rape & murder etc.

Yes, motivation matters. We can point out stats showing that men commit more violence or that black people commit more crime but why are we doing this? Is it to suggest solutions rooted in your concern for the human worth of everyone or is it to justify racism/sexism?

And yet, we haven't talked about motivation once. My motivation has been assumed (sexism) because I suggested it's a relevant piece of data.

We are talking about it now. No-one was talking about you. You are not of the people who keeps going on & on about male violence to me/.
