Transcript: With a picture of a snake in the background, post reads: The chances of a human being bitten by a venomous snake is 1 in 70 thousand.
The chances of a woman being attacked by a man is 1 in 3.
And somehow, your fear of snakes is valid. But a woman’s fear of male violence is dramatic.
And yet the chances of a man to be attacked by a man is higher.
All fears are valid, but humans are bad at ranking them
Are you aware of the community you’re in? We aren’t really worried about men attacking other men in this conversation because this is a women’s only community.

They mostly explain it by the fact that men take more risks and go at sketchy places alone that women tend to avoid
Men face a higher overall risk of general physical assault, primarily perpetrated by other men, whereas women experience vastly higher rates of sexual assault and intimate partner violence committed by men. General crime data indicates that men are more frequently victims of public and stranger violence, while women face disproportionate risks of domestic and sexual abuse. [1]

I’ll ask again, since you seem to miss details, you sure you’re in the right community?
