I didn’t mean for this post to cause a bunch of arguing in the comments =(
I thought this was just some gallows humor (e.g. “Everything’s lovely except that I have to fear for my safety all the time”) type of shitpost that sounded similar to comments I’ve heard from women irl a lot.
it literally does. you don’t even understand my argument.
good luck having women work with you though, i’m sure they’ll love how you downplay their experiences with sexual violence because “not all men are bad”
No, I get your argument. It doesn’t prove what you think. Plain and simple.
You cant make a comparative argument and claim it’s a population inference b/c the comparison could either be devoid of any scale/sampling consideration and/or the comparative bar could be set so low that it’s misleading. Both are well known issues in statistical analysis as well as human biases that are well documented.
But sure, go ahead and keep believing what you will. It’ll only negatively affect you. Why? B/c most ppl don’t like being hypocrites, and to behave like you is super hypocritical as well as pretty blind.
the FBI crime statistics were good enough for you a couple replies ago, but now you’re concerned about biases? why does this only now fail to meet your criteria? why should the burden now be on me to prove the authenticity of the source you told me to find? i have more sources that all suggest the same disparity of violent crime between women and men if you have good reason to believe these particular statistics are misleading, but do you?
Yes, b/c the stats I’m talking about (the percentage of men that are actual criminals) actually prove my point.
You used a comparison between two groups as supporting argumentation for a population inference. It’s a nonsequitur fallacy. I believe you that men are more often the perp, but that doesn’t mean all men are murderers or violent in any other way. That’s what someone is implying when they say things like “too bad men are murderers tho”. There’s literally no qualifier to that…it specifically aims at men.
Enjoy your night.
aaaand we’re back to “not all men” again
for fuck’s sake you stupid ass, nobody is saying it’s all men. the point is that violent crime toward women predominantly comes from men, and happens enough that women must live in fear because they are likely to have a violent encounter with men. saying men are murderers is not the same as saying all men are murderers. there’s a reason the word “all” is used and isn’t used. it is a fact that women have to be afraid of violence from men and men specifically. that is why she says “too bad men are murderers” because men are the ones that are statistically likely to take her life (among other things) when she’s out alone. she did not say “all men are murderers” because that’s a given that doesn’t need to be clarified to anyone except for incel pricks like you arguing in bad faith.
you aren’t even capable of having this discussion because you’re fixated on one fundamentally flawed strawman argument that refutes nothing being said. have the night you deserve.
You are an absolute fool.
