@gavri Yeah, the numbers are counterintuitive. Men commit far more murders overall, and most women who are murdered are killed by men.
@gavri ...that implicitly assumes that 'men' are an entity, i.e. the men getting killed are the men killing, which generally isn't true.

@gavri & of course if you follow that line it also implies black people deserve to die more than whites, bc they also commit more murders. -
@gavri Ultimately, objecting specifically to violence against women is a claim of privilege--saying they're especially deserving of life. -
@gavri The numbers are broken out in the FBI annual violent crime reports eg http://www2.fbi.gov/ucr/05cius/offenses/expanded_information/data/shrtable_02.html … -
