Omg, please make this a thing.
GIVE THE BIG TITLES WITH BOLD UPPERCASE CHARACTERS A TRY ;)
Oh I'm not criticizing your lack of decorum. I'm criticizing your hypocrisy.
Your point is "look at what this one woman did" as a counterpoint to "women can't go out at night because violence is so prevalent". How am I making that up? That's literally what you're doing. Lol
I mean... you're the one being hostile and hysterical now too telling people to go fuck themselves instead of defending or elaborating your point.
Wow, a single article being used in a feeble attempt to overstate a trend that's almost a magnitude smaller than its counterpart, and that doesn't compare very well to the topic of the thread?
Gee, I wonder why people aren't convinced with you spewing facts.
Well, yeah. Who is doing the overwhelming majority of the murdering? And why does this fact bother upstanding men at all? Are you not secure in your ability to convince others that you're not a threat? I have no problem with that at all.
First of all, I'm glad you found a way to make this political. Good on you.
Second of all, just like secure straight men don't get violent when they're accused of being gay, there should be no reason upstanding men should take it personally when women voice their concerns about other men.
I don't. Why do you?
I live near one of those areas. And while I'm weary of some shady women, it's quite a common trend that women get creative and men get brutish.
I'm more worried that the woman may pickpocket or deceive me first way, way before she pulls a weapon out on me.
It's not enough to point at a dangerous place and be like "see how bad people are?" but you also need to be be granular and observe the trends in behavior.
That said, I have been warned of a gang of three men and one woman who have been accused of mugging folks in the neighborhood. But even that is rare to hear. Will it ever be three women and one man?
Edit to fix autocorrect.
I like the idea of Snopes being called "Snipes" in an parallel universe. It gives it an air of vigilante je ne sais quoi and it makes me giddy.
