I'm tired of feeling alienated for being male. I'm tired of the default consideration for what a man is being a rapist and a murderer; someone dangerous not to be implicitly trusted; someone you should own a gun to protect yourself from. I'm tired of being labelled a cis man because saying just man would imply that trans men could ever be monsters like us. I go out wearing a skirt and heels and I am trusted, women approach me, give me compliments, ask me for directions. I go out without shaving and am embraced by callousness. If I could ask one thing, if you wouldn't be comfortable using the word "brother," "father," "son," "boyfriend" or "husband," don't use the word "man" or "men." Use another word. A murderer doesn't have to be tied to their gender.

Blahaj.zone is good!
Come to Finland, safe to walk at night
finland has a homocide rate of about 1 per 100k.
Countries are generally lower than cities, but some cities for context :
Hong Kong : 0.29
Glendale CA : 0.52
Tampere, Finland : 2.2
Arlington TX: 4.8
Los Angeles CA : 10.3
Albequerqe NM : 21.3
Washington DC : 31.85
Flint MI : 70.7
Tijuana MX : 95.9
Maybe I'm too tired or dumb to understand this... But 1 per 100k what? Is this successes per 100k attempts? Is it murderers per 100k people? 1 homicide per 100k human interactions? Maybe a citation would help me to understand the statistic you are referring to. It's not that I don't believe the sentiment of this comment but I really don't know what the figures mean here so I can't meaningfully gauge what each number means for the safety of a city.
Why is Washington DC so high?
All the whistleblowers probably lol
By "night", you mean the perpetual night in winter?
What about the trolls?
That's Norwegian, I think.
Hey hey. No hogging the mythos bro. We have our peikkos as well.

This why we can't have nice things
