The chances of that happening with your typical Dilbertian white male software engineer are vanishingly small.

    The parent said that the chances of that happening are vanishingly small. Your source (and your source's source: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/66/wr/mm6628a1.htm https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/66/wr/mm6628a1.htm) support that statement: > The CDC analyzed the murders of women in 18 states from 2003 to 2014, finding a total of 10,018 deaths. > The overall age-adjusted homicide rate was 2.0 per 100,000 women. 18 states, tens of millions of people, and an inconceivably small number of homicides in reality. The overwhelming majority of women are not murdered by men, but live a long life and die of heart disease, cancer, or other old-age diseases. Even when you only consider the age range in question - call it 18-64 - the leading causes of death are still unintentional injuries, cancer, heart disease, and suicide: https://www.cdc.gov/women/lcod/2014/all-females/index.htm https://www.cdc.gov/women/lcod/2014/all-females/index.htm There is a spike in homicides up to a staggering 7% of all deaths for the 15-24 age group, but that's only because young women almost never die, there's little real danger but an awful lot of fear surrounding this topic.

Geez, men are a bunch killers. Why can they be more like women?

Well statically a man should worry whether both a man or a woman would kill him. Because as a whole, men kill men in a higher rate than they kill women. And, women kill men more than they kill women.
