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.

You, in particular, are not being called a murderer, because the OP clearly says "men" and not "all men." You are however contributing to the problem by being dismissive and making a discussion about women's safety about you, which is why women should be afraid of you since you are clearly self-serving and have no empathy for and understanding of their plight.

Please explain to me how women talking about violence from men affects you personally. I can tell you how exaggerating your claim is harmful toward women, since because of the disproportionate violence and sexual abuse they face from men, they often find themselves having to speak on their experiences, and often aren't believed thanks to unfounded biases like yours.

The difference is that your claim is grossly exaggerated to appear equal to the OP's claim, which actually has statistic validity. The OP's only mistake is specifying murder, which isn't the only threat of violence at the hands of men a woman would potentially (and has a good chance of having to) face walking alone at night, but anyone who isn't 12 should be able to understand the use of hyperbole in a motherfucking shitpost. The intention is clear. it is not safe for women because of violence from men.

Here are the statistics: https://rainn.org/statistics/scope-problem, https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-2019/tables/table-42/table-42.xls, https://www.statista.com/statistics/251886/murder-offenders-in-the-us-by-gender/

You are using statistics inappropriately. You don't understand the argument you are just trying to villainise men
