The numbers are pretty much a consensus among researchers. If you disagree, then the burden is on YOU to do a deep, critical analysis. I’m just reporting the conclusions of others, not doing any critical analysis. If those conclusions make you feel uncomfortable, maybe you should explore that feeling more. Although if you want to do a critical analysis, I’d welcome it.
2 chicks at the same time
Well, you’re really just throwing out what-ifs. But you happened to chance on one theory that some researchers think could partially explain the discrepancy:
Being bi or lesbian still comes together with a special type of discrimination that a straight woman most likely will never experience;
Being oppressed causes stress, stress causes lack of control. The idea is it’s a similar driver to why poorer couples have higher rates of abuse.
That’s probably not the SOLE cause, but it’s likely a factor.
Just because someone was victimized doesn’t mean every thing they do afterwards is a smart idea. It’s a fundamentally flawed approach and her being a victim doesn’t change that.
There’s 4 billion men on the planet. If you want to find men with 3 arms, you’ll find a lot of them.
Woman who goes looking for shitty men found shitty men! More at 11

You’d be banned faster than trying to say “Tiananmen” on grad
If you happened to go in there and speak against them, you’d just be banned and have your post removed.
Statistically, lesbian relationships are far more likely to be abusive than hetero ones.

They hadn’t invented gloves back then?
if you actually believe the fox news ass all men are rapists line
I heard that first-hand from women on this site.
you wouldn’t argue if I said all bears are dangerous
Yeah no shit, that’s the point.
Because retailers are middle-men by definition.
Hell, a large amount of local businesses’ stock is probably bought on Amazon Business.
I live in a fairly small, poor, remote suburb of my city’s district. The city is divided into districts, with a representative for each district, and the power of the city government is largely in the hands of these representatives. My neighborhood is part of a district that, due to geography, is mostly very separated from us (think like a long thin line sticking way out of the main body of the district with my neighborhood on the end of it).
Certain city boards were trying to make up revenue by taxing our neighborhood specifically in various ways. We were obviously furious about it. We have regularly scheduled community town halls, like all the districts, and our rep shows up at them.
The town hall after the taxation proposal was released was scheduled to run from 3pm to 6pm. It lasted until well after midnight.
My district rep stayed there the whole time, obviously exhausted but still asking questions and opinions of the speakers and making promises. He promised to do something about it. And sure enough, within a month, the city boards backtracked on the taxation scheme.
We’re a poor neighborhood, and we’re not super numerous either. He didn’t have to help us, he could have sacrificed us to subsidize the main body of the district. But he didn’t, he stayed all night and then went and fought for us in the city government. He later went on to higher offices at the state and federal level.
Also, I once accidentally touched the Mayor’s boob at a party rally, so that could count I guess.
I was referring to IRL safe spaces and support groups.
Making men’s spaces online specifically has the dual problem of being attacked by both misogynists and radical feminists. It’s a lot of work and a lot of hate to deal with, so they don’t pop up a lot. But yes, they do exist, there’s a semi-active menslib community on lemmy for example. I think that one veers way too heavily into the “us men are really awful aren’t we?” feminist takes, personally; the reddit one was a lot better.
no one is saying all men are rapists
You know that’s not true.
You know that’s not what I’m talking about.
Man, I have been in SO MANY internet arguments where I am simultaneously arguing against a woman that yes, men have problems, while also arguing against a man that no, those problems are not worse on the whole than women have.
Back when the whole “bear in the woods” thing was going around misogynists would try to jump in and support me.
Woman: “all men are rapists”
Me: “that’s insulting and hurtful and misandrist, and also not even close to true”
Misogynist: “Yeah! And also women are heartless bitches!”
Me: “I don’t remember asking YOU a goddamn thing”
Depends on the city. I live in San Francisco, and honestly I see almost as many gender nonconforming people out and about as I do gender conforming. There are trans flags waving all over the place. A few years ago a bunch of Trumpers tried to have a rally in Oakland and people threw stuff at them until they left lol
