Funny post, good point, but let's not pretend women never commit violent offences. 2022 had 18% of known perpetrators being female in the US.
Edit: For the rage blind morons in the comments, this is specifically directed at the asinine comment in the OP saying "From Who?" As if they've made a slam dunk point or something.
I'm reading this as crime rates would be reduced by 82%. Not 100%, but that's pretty damn good. And given that women are more likely to attack people they know, discord amoung your friend group or family would be more dangerous than walking in public.
Alright then you're just here to meme and not actually talk about real problems.
Perfect is the enemy of good. In the real world we celebrate drops by like 1%. Disregarding *every *other issue with this hypothetical situation, a drop by 82% would be oh so incredibly world changing.
You aren't wrong because violence is violence no matter the offender, but by bringing "whataboutism" in, you are arguably demonstrating bad faith right off the bat starting your discussion. At this point, if you are serious about wanting to tangent and discuss about solving the last 18%, maybe take it to its own thread? Like over to showerthoughts or asklemmy? I do think that's always worth discussing, as is discussing how to solve the original 82% without the nuclear option. :)
Finally, this community is kind of memey. Let the witches cook.
