Getting stabbed in a dark park seems like a pretty universal fear that isn’t determined by your gender. Most people getting stabbed are men, if we just go by homicide statistics.
I’m not trying to draw parallels, I’m literally talking about the likelyhood of getting stabbed in a dark park. How does domestic violence factor into that scenario? On the other hand, I wonder how underreported domestic violence cases are compared between genders.
Getting stabbed in a dark park seems like a pretty universal fear that isn’t determined by your gender. Most people getting stabbed are men, if we just go by homicide statistics.
In 2022, the FBI reported that there were 14,441 victims of murder who identified as male, compared to 4,251 victims of murder who identified as female in the United States. A further 93 murder victims were of an unknown gender in that year.
In 2022, about 442,754 women were raped or sexually assaulted in the U.S. - an increase from the previous year. In that same year, 89,053 men were raped or sexually assaulted, also a significant increase compared to the year before.
So, really, I guess it depends on whether “stabbed” here is a euphemism or not.
Most victims of violence are men – most victims of DOMESTIC violence (or intimate partner violence) are women.
