1. I had no idea there were so many female homicides in that time period.

That is just plain horrifying.

And eye-opening.

3. world wide numbers are staggering.

In some countries, it's "Sunday sport" to hunt women, gang rape and kill them.

5. Omigod, I am sickened to hear that.

How awful.

I feel most fortunate to have been born into a family where the women are respected and treated decently. My husband's family is the same way.

And of course, we raised our daughters to be respected also.

6. Now can we see the

number of Men and children killed by their mothers, wives and sisters? That number may just dwarf all the numbers combined

[Luminous Animal]

8. Shouldn't the comparison be apples to apples. How many men were killed by their wives & girlfriends

would be an apt comparison.

9. you're kidding, right? first of all, the categories you mentioned are not

equivalent, as i'm sure you know. the equivalent category would be men killed by their wives or girlfriends. do you think this would dwarf the reverse? as far as children killed by men vs women, why don't you find those numbers for us. even though women have significantly more contact with children than men do, i'm betting men still do more than their share of the killing. this isn't about blaming or criticizing, it's about men needing to admit that there is a problem, before we can all find a solution.

14. He's not kidding. It's just another pathetic bleat from the "wimmins do it too!" brigade.

10. LOL. Are you seriously suggesting that it would be a large number in comparison?

You cannnot be serious. Your comment has to be tongue-in-cheek, right?

Like, there must be a huge number of humans biting dogs!

12. Here is part of your answer.

13. Wow. Every day I'm impressed by the fact that so many people are able to find food every day

despite possessing the intellect of a mailbox. But you have truly set a new standard with this brainfart.

7. hey...stuff happens...that's just the way it is...

sarcasm, btw. actually i think that the number of men killed by other men is higher than the number ow women killed, but either way, men are doing more than their share of the killing, and it's something that men don't really want to address.

11. Men are doing pretty much all of the killing in domestic situations!

Men are doing pretty much all the murders in non-domestic situations as well. Is there even a question about this?
