I am saying when we play games pretending men suffer just as much from violence or sexual assault I have to use kid gloves because people like you will dismiss the actual facts. As you are doing right now. And pretend there is some vast anti-male conspiracy ("sociological phenomenon") that causes over 95% of all murder and rapes in every society on Earth (including hunter gather tribes studied by anthropologists, and the overall average is 98% of murders and 99% of rapes) to be committed by men.

Saying "I believe women are superior morally in general" is kid gloves? Its not a competition on who has it worse, you're missing the point.

The point is that this goes back to the crime stats comparison. It leads nowhere. Yes, more men do the bad stuff statistically. And? What solution am I supposed to extrapolate from that exactly? Men are here, they are people, they exist. Are you suggesting we disregard them entirely in the progressive space? Cuz it reaaaaally sounds like that would be your preference if it were possible.

You get personally offended and feel you must defend men by claiming actually women are just as bad. Which is again why we have to use kid gloves.

Lets be realistic, the kid gloves are not for me. The kid gloves are so your viewpoint on this looks less asinine than it actually is. I never said anything about it beign just as bad for women. What I said was this statistic is pointless unless your aim is to disqualify an entire swath of people from the table.
