Witches VS Patriarchy

Women also are more involved in the sexual assault of children than most people realize, but they are extremely underreported (due to patriarchal biases in our society, largely). Men still commit more offenses, but patriarchy is a double-edged sword in that it causes more women to be victimized and also protects female perpetrators of violence from punishment.

That said, men still commit much more violent crime and we should do better as a society to prevent that through social programs, education, etc.

So for some reason you're suggesting that women need men... to protect them from other women? I don't see anyone pretending that women are incapable of violence.

Absolutely crazy to see that ~~82%~~ (e: whoops, binary thinking) 77% of violent offences are perpetrated by men and feel the need to remind people that 18% are commited by women.

18% reported.

let’s not pretend women never commit violent offences

Bro that’s a whole new sentence wtf are you talking about

The point was that in the modern day, pretty much 100% of the violence scenarios where women “need” a man in the equation to protect them, the source of the problem is another man.

I actually don’t agree with when the pendulum swings all the way to total misandry like “men are all the problem sources and even outside of physical-violence scenarios they aren’t really needed.” You need a balance. There is a hilarious article by someone who tried working in an all-female office and she found the experience intensely unpleasant and not at all like the post-gender feminist utopia that was advertised. But as far as I can tell, no one here was saying that that was the goal, or that women were never criminal or violent. Just that selling men as a vital solution to the problem of interpersonal physical violence is missing a crucial leap of logic.

Source? That’s higher than I would have guessed, honestly.

I'm reading this as crime rates would be reduced by 82%. Not 100%, but that's pretty damn good. And given that women are more likely to attack people they know, discord amoung your friend group or family would be more dangerous than walking in public.

Fun fact: In a society of all women, women would suddenly be the known perpetrators of 100% of all violent offences!
