Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I actually don’t think this is as true as is often assumed. Men are far more likely to be murder victims than women are.
Sexual violence is another matter however.
I wonder if that's still true if gang violence is not counted.
I’m not sure. This is a complicated topic and I would assume that a higher proportion of male victims “provoked” their killer in some way. But I don’t know that there’s real data on that. I also think we need to acknowledge that this fact does not justify their deaths.
I recently started jogging through this long, dark trail that hosts a nearby homeless encampment, and honestly didn't think about it at all until my partner raised her eyebrow at where I was jogging. Just one of those little patriarchy taxes that I don't have to pay.
Not that unhoused people are particularly dangerous or anything, but still you're less certain if you're going to meet someone on a really bad day there
I'm a man and I wouldn't think going on that trail would be a good idea, unless there were lots of other joggers there at the same time. I don't fear being alone in the countryside but I'm much more wary in an urban area.
It's fairly mid traffic because it cuts across a part of the city, so you're likely to run into someone on a bike or something every ten or so minutes
While a lot of these were certainly relevant in 1990, i think we've made great progress in some areas; particularly around precipitation of cognitive abilities, employment, and corporate position.
Women still suffer a shitpile around children/family views and, as you and this article point out, victimization from sexual assault and violence.
We could still do with a decrease in men thinking the sun rises out of their assholes, despite being marginal in performance or social values. Far too many basement trolls wallowing in a muddy mixture of Dorito dust and mountain dew, thinking they know it all.
We men also need to do a L O T of work on developing emotional intelligence, healing wounds from toxic masculinity (boys don't cry) and passing this on to future generations.
E; I was trying to reply to the guy who posted the list of white male privileges but failed fantastically.
Grumbles as he crawls back into his hole to die
In my home town I definitely wouldn't go out after dark on my own. Too many twats with knives.
I know I’m in the minority of guys, but over half of them don’t apply to me.
