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 …

The average middle/upper class white (or Asian) woman in the West belongs to the safest group on Earth. Arguably in all human history.

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.

Black men are murdered at about 30-35x the rate white women are. WW rate is barely a rounding error.

Stats for Asians and for LGBTs are thin, but seems the former is slightly less than whites, latter sig. higher than cishets.

Sexual violence rates are technically tricky to analyze, but if you include prison rape they seem to be v. roughly equal.

That is, the ratio is somewhere between 2:1 and 1:1 women v. men. @furrygunner

But here's the stinger: because of black incarceration, the group at highest risk of rape & sexual assault is black men.
