The risk-reward calculation for women is dramatically different than for men. For men, risk: not get laid, deal with rejection. reward: get laid, possibly meet soul mate For women, risk: person you matched with rapes and murders you. reward: get laid, possibly meet soul mate And before anyone tries to rebut this with the tired argument of "sometimes women commit murder" yeah that's true but exceedingly rare. The overwhelming number of violent crimes are committed by men.

Funny (not really) - you are obviously correct about the statistics, but the only person I know who was murdered by a partner was a man.

Went is it considered socially acceptable to point out the differences between men and women when the men are portrayed in a more negative fashion, but not when the women are portrayed in a more negative fashion? I see this as well with attributing certain cultural behaviors to certain races - a one-way street. Why?

  >but not when the women are portrayed in a more negative fashion? Could it be because for centuries we ran the world and told women they were inferior, didn't let them vote, didn't let them drive, didn't let them have financial autonomy, etc.? Could it be that, generally, men have things pretty good today and in many ways women still have not caught up? Could it be that you need to tread a pretty fine line if you want to make humor by poking fun at half the population who were systematically oppressed for the last I-don't-know-how-many years? One wonders.

      >Nobody cares that we were oppressed for millennia. Lots of people care, but both sides of the Israel-Palestine situation have done some pretty reprehensible shit going back decades. >So no, that line of reasoning is wrong. You can not try to excuse double standards with historical baggage for some groups but not for others. This is irrelevant to dating apps and I'm not interested in discussing this further with you.
