  • we do live in a climate where men are seen exclusively as current and temporarily embarrassed perpetrators, and less so as fellow victims.

    All due respect, but where is your evidence because the way I see it is this (male here btw):

    • Men perpetrate the vast majority of homicides.
    • Men overwhelmingly control the vast majority of wealth and power positions, globally.
    • Men are responsible for the vast majority of wars throughout history.
    • Men are responsible for the majority of physical domestic violence cases — particularly those leading to homicide.
    • Is there anywhere in the world where men are oppressed by women the way women are in, say, Afghanistan or Iran or Russia (legalized domestic violence)?

    The data in the UK probably doesn’t exist because the instances are that much more rare. I’m open to being wrong, but until numbers are brought to the table, we’re talking data vs. speculation. What we do know is that Men account for 85-95% of convicted homicides, globally, making an outsized number relative to the portion that they are victims (somewhere around 75%). Of this subset, the most rare scenario is a male victim and female perpetrator.

    There are of course instances of women murdering men and those should not be downplayed; but let’s neither invoke a false equivalence fallacy.
