@gavri Yeah, the numbers are counterintuitive. Men commit far more murders overall, and most women who are murdered are killed by men.
@gavri Common belief is women are especially threatened. But that's just not true. Women are especially safe. That makes it a privilege play

@gavri nb also: I am not claiming women are not *oppressed*. They clearly are. I support feminism--just not third-waver neo-Victorianism. -
@gavri An analogy would be something like serfs vs. rebel freeholders: serfs are safe & oppressed. Freeholders have agency but get killed. -
@gavri To double down on this: I don't think intersectionality can progress w/o engaging this duality between agency and security. -
@gavri The caste split btw masculinity & femininity is unusual in this: black ppl, LGBT etc. both more oppressed & more endangered. -
@gavri But straight white women? The most protected class in human history, telling themselves they're the most threatened.
