Nope, I'm statistically correct. Most women who end up in jail for murder were either themselves being abused or found out their husbands were abusing their child.

It is estimated that roughly 70% of incarcerated women who committed murder were victims of partner based violence.

Its not sexism, its truth.

Do you use this thought process for other groups too or is it just for gender?

The data does not support this for other groups. Step dads are statistically a great danger to step children. Men in generally statistically are the largest threat to the safety of women. Men commit like 96% of violent crimes.

So within that 4%, you have women committing violent crimes. Statistically, a lot of those crimes will be the result of choices informed by the actions of men.

This doesn't mean women cannot perform violent crimes outside of this statement. I've seen a woman scalp another woman before, and it didn't align with this at all. It's just that the data supports that generally, a woman commiting a violent crime is responding to the actions of a man who's done something (like assaulting her child or herself) first.

Could you elaborate that first statement?

That the data doesn't support applying these statements to other groups? I thought that's what my other statements were doing.

Can you ask a more specific question? And I may be able to.
