Yes, I am asking that. More men are murdered each year than women. They are all victims. Why are women dying more important to you than men dying.
I suppose it's much the same as plane crashes. People dying in cars is orders of magnitude greater than planes, but we all remember the plane crashes.
Your previous post seems to cast walking around your neighbourhood as like you are walking around a war zone. The reality is that is is not like that at all. Australia is a safe place to live. Your chances of dying in a car wreck are so much higher than being murdered. I don'y see you railing against cars.
While I deplore any violence against a person, I cannot agree with comments that women cannot walk around safely. The stats do not support that.
