Hey, it's 80% of reported violent crime. We're just better at it and don't get caught, obvs.

The real reason women love true crime podcasts: learning from the mistakes of others

And watching all the men fail

Sometimes minor league ball is a more interesting game.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 21 points 4 days ago

I am officially calling true crime tv "the minor leagues"

There were several generations of women that killed abusive husbands in ways that looked like accidents.

That's because you're measuring physical violence, not psychological. We skate under the radar once again.

80% of violent crime? Cute. Lesbians are busy cornering the space crime market (allegedly).

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 66 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That was a fake, just so you're aware. Still hilarious as a meme.

[–] TaterTot@piefed.social 31 points 5 days ago (1 children)

oh.... I guess it's true what they say... never meet your heroes...

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 29 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Be the lesbian space crime you want to see I guess?

>makes ragebait post for men

>laughs at men getting ragebaited

>pretends like ragebaiting people is progressive in any way

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 32 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Is this ragebait? I'm a man and I thought it was funny. This is the kind of thing I would say to the feminists I know.

[–] adminofoz@lemmy.cafe 8 points 3 days ago

Its funny to everyone who can handle a joke.

Quoting crime statistics based on gender:

Quoting crime statistics based on race:

[–] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 21 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (9 children)

Quoting crime statistics based on race, like the old "13/50" trope, is often used to enforce racist notions that minority groups are inherently bad people. It's punching down at marginalized people.

This meme, at least as I see it, is the opposite. It's satirizing the usual crap from the anti-feminist crowd claiming that women are inherently inferior. It's punching up at sexist men.

Statistics put men globally as being 81% of the victims of violent crime. And the perpetrators of that crime being less than 1% of the male population. So to put it another way, youre making the same argument as racists when they claim that all black guys sell drugs because some black guy sold them a joint one time.

This is just yet another in a long line of "men bad" memes, in an online society that accepts and celebrates bigotry.

Don’t worry, we men are already evening out the odds by getting our panties twisted in a bunch over a clever meme.

[–] EvilCartyen@feddit.dk 18 points 4 days ago

Pathetic. Get in the game, women.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 33 points 4 days ago (12 children)

And they've always gotta be the victim. 🙄

But but but if they did 80% then MEN wouldn't be taken seriously!!!!!

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 80 points 5 days ago (11 children)

How so? They can both do 80%. This will increase the total number of crimes to 160% but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to pay to protect equality, the second amendment and the free world.

Checkmate feminists.

I am just a 5’ honey badger waiting for my moment. Closest call was that time Jehovah witnesses peered into my car while I was alone at night outside of a store. Turns out they are easily frightened when you hold your car horn down long enough though.

[–] BilSabab@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

what's unnerving is that there lots of POW reports that indicate that women showcase far more cruelty towards female POWs compared to men.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Studies have also shown women in power tend to block more women from being promoted to positions of power.
