How can it be "male-pattern violence" when violence usually occurs as a reaction to extreme poverty, drug dependence, social inequality, and other things that only plague the poorest populations? It's only correlative that men are the poorest parts of society, and should be a call to ending discrimination against the poor and against men (especially on account of their race, here in the US). By calling it "male-pattern violence," the author is blaming an entire gender as the problem, not the actual causative circumstances surrounding the violence itself.

Redditors were debating in the comments thread about posting THIS LINK as their Facebook status.

When I saw the author himself was not willing to post it to his own Facebook I figured, fuck it, and posted it to my own.

The discussion has not been terribly heated, but one (quite liberal) feminist gentlemen did fracture the debate with this "almost all violence being male in nature" link.

I reposted here just in case r/mensrights had never seen it.

Does he realize that OTHER MEN are the victims and targets of most of that violence?

2.5-3x the amount that women are in violent assaults, robbery, murder, etc?

Men are 99.99999999% of war deaths historically?

You can't talk to these lunatics. They are as bad as fundamental christians or hardcore atheist. Systematically denying any atrocities committed by anyone, except those they do not like.

tl;dr Claims to clear up terms on egalitarian grounds, cite maybe one statistical research incorrectly, poor attempt of analytically criticize the research and proposed to establish a new term to make it more extreme than before.

If some of us object to the "most violence is committed by the menz" meme it is not because we don't think it's true, but because it carries the subtext of "Men are bad, probably innately bad"
