Are you ever going to respond to the "once you've been sexually or physically assaulted by an intimate partner you are a victim from then on" ?
I'm a rape victim. And I have been abused by multiple male partners. And I have had my life threatened by a male intimate partner. The 60% figure isn't even taking into account people who have been abused multiple times by seperate men (most of them).
Calling me a Karen is incredible. You don't own this forum. I am absolutely allowed to talk about this here no matter what you think about it.
If you're a woman dating men, you categorically do always need to be concerned about the possibility that you will experience physical and sexual violence from male intimate partners. Women are murdered every day in acts of intimate partner violence. Not to mention having to be concerned about gender based violence in general, in the workplace and in public spaces. If you have some gripe with that assessment then you are fundamentally misunderstanding how women are made to constantly assess their own safety. You are dramatically underestimating how prevalent this kind of violence against us is.
You do not determine the relative threat of being raped or beaten by men by how many women are presently being subjected to those things. You do so based on your own experiences with male violence and the experiences of other women both ones you know do and dont know personally. These statistics are not influencing any woman's relative fear of men. They are purely there to illustrate the extent of violence against us.
If you don't want to talk about this then again, that's fine, go do something else. I came here to talk about it and I am absolutely allowed to do so.
