Men and Women Kill Intimate Partners at Rates Closer Than You Think, Says Ann Silvers

To those familiar with mens rights discourse we already know that women abuse to similar rates to men. This substack article gives a full breakdown of the origins of women are 6 times more likely to die at the hands of men, men are more violent BS and other misconceptions about men in relation to domestic violence.

From the article " The U.S. Department of Justice found the following breakdown of victims of intimate partner homicide in 2021: female victims 61% (1,690) / male victims 39% (1,078). That is a ratio of 1.6 to 1.1

The United Nations found the following breakdown of victims of intimate partner homicides across 78 countries in 2022: female victims 66% / male victims 34%. That is a ratio of 2 to 1.

The author of the article makes this additional point

"The U.S. Department of Justice found the following breakdown of victims of intimate partner homicide in 1998: female victims 72% (1,320) / male victims 28% (513). That is a 2.6 to 1 ratio.

In the origins of the statistics that are often cited by feminists lies here according to Ann Silvers page 65 of her book:

"The widely circulated idea that six times more women are killed by their partners traces back to an article by Heidi Stöckl et al., “The global prevalence of intimate partner homicide: A systematic review,” published by The Lancet in 2013. Sponsorship from the World Health Organization gave the research additional weight. In the summary of their article the authors say: “Data were obtained for 66 countries. Overall 13.5% of homicides were committed by an intimate partner, and this proportion was six times higher for female homicides than for male homicides (38.6% vs 6.3%).

The author of the substack notes the following:

"To be clear, what Stöckl’s data showed was female victims of homicide were six times as likely as male victims of homicide to have been killed by an intimate partner.

It did not show that females were six times as likely as males to be killed by an intimate partner, nor that six times as many females are killed by an intimate partner.

The latter assertion exaggerates the safety risk to women of coupling with men and it downplays the safety risk to men of coupling with women, as do many false or misleading factoids about intimate partner violence that have been propagated for decades".

The facts matter and oftentimes propaganda of this nature has lead to the issues of violence against men being downplayed or minimised. What is also left out or understudied are murders by proxy. The author notes from his own research that women will hire someone to kill their male partner or spouse.

Secondly it is fear mongering narratives that assumes that women have to perceive all men as violent/ abusive by nature. That women have to be scared of men at all times and assume the worst.

Enough is enough.
