I write about this sometimes, but still stunning to see how misinformed people are about violence vs. gender.https://twitter.com/Aella_Girl/status/741050614407254016 …

Sorry, should have specified cishet in the above. Statistics are scant but LGBT risk seems much higher.

Huh, fascinating. Got any links I could peruse? I mean, well-off folks are obviously far less likely to be victimized...

But I would have figured risk for women would be very slightly higher, if only because they are usually less intimidating than men.

Short summary of the numbers last time I ran them. Women are about 22% of murders, men 78%. That's 2 women per 7 men.

But more significantly, black Americans are murdered at about 7x the rate of white Americans.
@furrygunner -
Black men are murdered at about 30-35x the rate white women are. WW rate is barely a rounding error.
@furrygunner -
Stats for Asians and for LGBTs are thin, but seems the former is slightly less than whites, latter sig. higher than cishets.
@furrygunner -
Sexual violence rates are technically tricky to analyze, but if you include prison rape they seem to be v. roughly equal.
