When 96% of all murders globally are committed by women, get back to me.
When 93% of all solved killings in England and Wales are committed by women, get back to me. google.com/amp/s/www.inde…
When there are seven times as many women murderers as there are male murderers in the United States, get back to me.
When 92% of accused murderers in Scotland are women, get back to me.
When 98.5% of identified rapists in the UK are women, get back to me.
When a man is killed by a woman every three days in the UK and six men are killed every hour by women across the world, get back to me.
When 56% of men killed by women are "overkilled" (the use of excessive, gratuitous violence beyond that necessary to kill) get back to me.
This isn't about casting men as villains. Of course men are also victims of murder and rape. By other men, mostly.
You don't see women crying "Not All Women" when someone points out women are more likely to kill their own children.
The defensiveness of #NotAllMen is denial.
Turns out that's not actually true, sorry. Fathers are the most common perpetrators of parents who murder children. manchester.ac.uk/discover/news/…

Not your childhood bully frequently tweeting "Be Kind" 👀
I really feel adults who were teenage bullies should reach out to apologise to their victims before tweeting things like "Be Kind"
To be fair, she *tried* to bully me once by falsely reporting me for bulemia, so during badminton I told the boy she fancied that she'd just bought Songs About Jane by Maroon 5.
Man: Hey, sorry, can we do this another time? I've got to be home at a specific time.
Me: Let me stop you there. No. You cancelled and rescheduled five times. Bye.
Him: ... Um, my nanna just went into hospital. I said I'd phone her at 8.
Me: ... Oh.
Lesson learned. Always listen to the sixth excuse lest you become the villain of the story
Five. Times. He's cancelled and rescheduled this five times. Three months have passed since we agreed to go on a date.
Now history will record me as the dickhead, not him. That's so frustrating.
Members of my family gaslighting me into letting my father verbally abuse me, and although now I can identify it, it doesn't make it easier when they say that sure, my father is unpleasant, but l when I stand up for myself, I'm making *them* feel awkward and uncomfortable.
The same family members sat in silence when my father called me every name under the sun.
It took years but I learned to stand up for myself. No-one else did.
Finally, they spoke up to say "That's enough, now stop" - but they weren't talking to my father.
They were talking to me.
My father: (referring to me) She's a fucking gobshite! She talks utter shit! Oh look, off she goes crying again.
Me: Don't talk to me like that. It's disgusting.
Family member: (sharply, to me) Right, that's enough. You're making this evening awkward for all of us.
You're right, of course. Christians in the UK don't commit acts of terrorism.
Catholics and Protestants have never committed acts of terrorism in the UK. Especially not in Northern Ireland or Scotland, where sectarian violence never happened.
Christianity has never played a role in UK terrorism, and there definitely wasn't a clear split between Catholics and Protestants during the Irish Troubles. The Ulster Volunteer Force never bombed Catholic owned businesses in N.I, which was obviously a coincidence.
During the Troubles, nobody ever asked you which church you attended in order to ascertain whether or not you were an enemy. No, sir, never happened.
Absolutely none of the IRA were Catholics, and the UVF were definitely not Protestant loyalists. Christianity was not involved.
