@laura__palmer let's see how far your opinion goes to making meaningful change. Beat the drum all you like. Unless men and women work together, the status will remain the same. Irrespective of how angry you get about it. It's actually mind boggling to me that you're arguing against the idea that women have something helpful/useful to contribute to the solution. I believe they do. I would NEVER discount a woman with a good idea and the will to see it to fruition.

@laura__palmer The fact that you just put Dr Jordan B Peterson and Andrew Tate in the same category is alarming to say the least. 


"I think the women belong to the man" (Tate) vs 

"Self-love is the only antidote to the chaos of existence. And if you don’t love and care for yourself and your own needs, you will cause unnecessary suffering both for yourself and others" (Peterson). 

Not advice I'd equate as "equivalent" somehow..... It is unequivocally true that men are FAR more represented in acts of violent crime. But neither do I ascribe to your view that only men can fix the issue - even if the issue is "men". It's a human problem, and it needs a human solution.  Helping fix and fund the state of Australia's abysmal mental health system would go some way for a start.

I think the sad reality to the question "why won't they stop killing us?" - is that they won't stop killing each other, so they're unlikely to stop killing women too. 84% of homicide victims in NSW were male. 71% of homicide victims in VIC were, yep, you guessed it, male. Men kill more men then they kill women. It doesn't minimise the pain, suffering or tragedy when men kill women. It's wrong, it's horrible and it has to stop. But looking @ it through a gendered lens probably isn't helpful particularly when the data suggests that there is a "bigger problem" with men killing men. Men just have to stop killing entirely. I wish it were possible.
