    Basically 100% of parents who have killed their newborns by throwing them in dumpsters are women.

    Is this article about a newborn being killed? Or is it about a woman being killed by her partner? If it’s the latter, how often are women killed by their men compared to men being killed by women? If it’s the latter, why are you bringing up points relevant to the former? Please, please, please answer these questions. You’re engaging in the very logical fallacy you’re citing.

    If this were a discussion about a black man being killed by a white police officer, would it make any sense to bring up stats about black men killing white police officers? Because that’s pretty much what you’re doing right now in an attempt to deflect from the main issue. I often see white supremacists in conservative spaces doing this, i.e. mentioning George Floyd’s criminal record or irrelevant stats about crime by black men to deflect from Derek Chauvin murdering him, and I think what you’re saying is fundamentally no different-- just with women/sexism instead of black men/racism.

    Edit: Nevermind, just blocked ya. You’re the same clown that said this about women who fear being killed in the USA:

    A completely irrational fear in the US at least, given that in a country of 340,000,000, less than 5,000 women are murdered a year. And that’s even if you pretended every single murder was by a rejected man.

    Stop letting ideological propaganda make you paranoid.

    Fuck off, you hate women and you’re trying desperately to gaslight them.

      No. The illustrative example was about newborn getting killed. Try to understand the point OP is making SMH.

        I understand the point that person’s trying to make-- can they, or you, understand the counterpoint I’ve made? I swear, men will do the most impressive mental gymnastics to avoid acknowledging the simple fact that most violence against women is committed against men. It’s so pathetic.

          most violence against women is committed against men.

          I’ll leave that one for you and Freud to figure out.

          …one question, though: When you say “violence”, do you mean psychological, physical, or both?

      Is the concept of an analogy really so far beyond you? Do you not understand my simple point that it would be completely unfair to point the finger at the entirety of the female sex and say “hey you, stop killing your babies”, based on a crime that a tiny percentage of them commit?

      And that therefore one might consider that it’s equally unfair to point the finger at the male sex, based on a crime that a tiny percentage of them commit?

      This is not exactly cryptic, you know.

      You’re the same clown that said [that it’s irrational to live life in fear of an event that has a 0.00147% of occurring]

      I did say that. Stating simple facts is not exactly what clowns do, though, you seem a bit confused.

      Fuck off, you hate women

      No, I hate fear-mongering used to manipulate, in all cases. In this case, it’s feminist fear-mongering that tries to deceive women into thinking that murderous men are always all around them, waiting to strike the moment their guard is down.

      Hate it just as much as sensationalized media that deceives the public into thinking the violent crime rate is much higher than it actually is. Just to give one sex-neutral example of the exact same phenomenon.

      You could say I hate manipulation via deception in general.

      and you’re trying desperately to gaslight them.

      This is straight-up projection–you can’t gaslight someone with facts, lol.

      Holy shit. I cannot help but laugh at the absurdity of this. Guy made a perfect example on why your viewpoint is insane, and it went so far over your head.
