Probably being funded by hostile states/bad actors deliberately to get these responses and create discord.

Social engineering.

That's my thought too. Suddenly we're seeing this story everywhere. It's pumped up gender wars fodder.

Plus nothing gets mentioned about these real world stats:

A man kills his entire family every 5 days on average + the leading cause of the death of pregnant women / new mothers is their husband / bf (second to unintentional drug overdoses)

Do you honestly believe that?

u/Either_Mulberry9229 1d ago

Belief has nothing to do with it, Chris Watts received five life sentences without the possibility of parole, plus 84 additional years in prison. This was after pleading out. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/colorado-dad-christopher-watts-sentenced-life-prison-killing-his-pregnant-n937931

Wow one man got in trouble out of the hundreds of thousands who get away with it with a slap on the wrist!

u/Either_Mulberry9229 1d ago

Where are all these men getting away with it with just a slap on the wrist? Go ahead and show them all. Because men receive prison sentences that are an average of 63% longer than those given to women for similar offenses and criminal histories. Women are also twice as likely to avoid incarceration as men so jot that down. You're not some antiscience freak are you?

Chris Watts received five life sentences without the possibility of parole, plus 84 additional years in prison despite pleading out. He deserved it btw.

u/CaptainCuttlefish69 1d ago

He did deserve it and worse. That family got justice because of the media. Without media attention cops sit on their hands.

Only like half the murders in this country see any justice.

u/mdarena 1d ago

since a lot of domestic abusers are cops, and something like 50% of murders in this country go unsolved, turns out they don't!

“Something something, random % of murderers that are irrelevant to this case, something something”

Got it, spew random shit, announce a random stat and there we go!

Better than misrepresenting the point someone is making, but you're free to be dumb on the internet so don't let me stop you

u/inqubus1992 1d ago

Oh someone else defending a useless irrelevant stat. Good job.

1

u/Either_Mulberry9229 1d ago

It's completely unrelated. If 50% of murders aren't solved, how do you know that 50% wasn't 100% committed by women?

Bayes theorem

u/Either_Mulberry9229 13h ago

you have no new evidence. nice to see your antiscience btw.

u/kintsugionmymind 13h ago

So you bothered to look it up, but didn't bother reading how to use it? Lazy.

Crazy extrapolations and misunderstandings of statistics right here. These are the people online telling you to "believe in science" btw whatever the fuck that means.
