Also the overwhelming majority of murder victims in the entire world are men.
About 80% of victims are male: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homicide_statistics_by_gender
What do we do about it? - Not giving a fuck. We do not think about it. We accept the risk. We always do. 90% of job fatalities are also men. Men do not give a fuck.
So women of the world: Learn to not give a fuck.
Then maybe you can close that pay gab.
Why do you feel the need to tell everyone that men are more likely to be killed than women? Why do you feel the need to tell everyone to not give a fuck about potentially getting raped or murdered?
This post disgusts me so much and I feel like you are vastly missing the point of this strip. It is a reality for women to not EVER feel 100% safe when they are out late at night on their own, because of how disgusting the world is - and for the reaction to be "well she shouldn't have worn such and such outfit, she should have gone home with some friends" is outrageous and you are telling women not to give a fuck?
Also, men do not "accept the risk" that they might get raped if they go out for a fun night out with some friends and yknow decide to take an Uber home. So fuck off. I don't care what you have to say back to me, im just so angry that something had to be said.
^^^ agreed
the basic premise is correct. we can't control when something bad might happen to us. nobody knows if they're going to die tomorrow to a drive by shooting. (though certain people in certain situations have more chance to be in danger than others) all we can do is prepare and try to stay safe. advice like that "don't go out at night, don't hail a cab" are good advice, and the people that give it usually give it with the best of intentions, because they don't want to see the people they care about get hurt. it's why parents constantly call their children even when they know where they are, just to make sure. the problem is you can't do what some people do and what this comic is showing, you can't shut yourself off from the world and stop doing all the things you enjoy just because you might get hurt, it's a danger inherent to life.
if you could please forgive my boorishly worded compatriot, I'm sure they meant no ill will.
