No - you're off by two orders of magnitude. Much closer to ~1500 women/year.
That's still ~1500 too many, no question. But is it likely to impact this study in any meaningful way? Seems unlikely to me (to put it mildly).
> Among US women, fear/wariness-of and preparedness-for attempts at bodily harm and abusive behavior by men appears to be near-universal.
That sounds like a reasonable assumption and not one I'd argue against (as someone with no real insight here).
But the question was explicitly regarding murder. Not more general violence/abuse.
I welcome the well-meaning comment and think your contribution was valuable in its own right, but please don't move the goalposts.
- floatingatoll 7y agoI apologize that my reply does not meet your standards. It is not my intent to "move the goalposts", but simply to convey a mindset you seemed not to recognize, in order to help you understand why they might have included that concern. You now grasp that mindset, even if my construction was terrible. I am grateful that you were able to discern my intent regardless.
