Men (especially young boys) are more likely to be victims of random violence.
Women tend to receive violence from friends and family in the home.
For whatever that's worth

You're missing the context of WHEN THEY ARE the targets. Women are more often on the receiving end for both. Just because one gender gets one type of violence more often, still doesn't mean they receive more instances of it over the other.

He would feel threatened if a creepy woman TSA agent did this to him too. It's much more rare, but it's a better argument for these kinds of people. I've seen this response countless times. Banned from r/conservative for "threatening" users lol.
Think of them like children (his debate skills are <6th grader, so he literally is). You have to be gentle.

They're not like children, they're just narcissists.
It's the attitude of: "If I do something bad to you, you should be flattered. But don't you dare do that to me!"

Not everything is a debate. The dude is just an asshole.
Actually if you're a Democrat you have to act perfectly all the time. This guy's a Republican so it's totally fine to be a child.
Nah, hit his homophobic ass with the theoretical hyper-masculine leather daddy hitting on him
Satisfying to argue but doesn't work either on these 6th grade debate ability folks. You make a 7th grade argument, not an adult one if you want to help him.

Well, you see. The man has a penis, therefore he is at higher risk of violence than women.
Wait, no. It's the opposite.
Cis men experience more of every non-sexual form of violence than cis women on average, to the point where they experience more incidents of overall violence.
The fun part is when you start digging into where that violence is coming from....

Reminds me of an episode of "Cheers." Cliff calls a woman and starts heavy breathing into the phone, then he's surprised when she hangs up.
"My mom always laughs when I do it to her!"
I recently discovered that, at the beginning of Cheers, Cliff was some five years younger than I currently am, and I'm not happy about this AT ALL.
I saw this one posted recently. Two British actors, both 34 in their respective photographs. One is Sean Connery, born in 1960 so the photo was taken in 1964/65, the other is Thomas Brodie Sangster, born in 1990.
Sean Connery's path to 34 involved a lot more drinking and smoking. Sangster presumably has a skincare routine. But, still, it's striking.
P.S. That isn't Connery's natural hair.
Christ, that's astonishing.
