Please don't leave! Keep speaking your mind, if enough of us stick it out we can drown out the users like Captain Asshole here.

I understand if you do, but I hope you won't. I like this place despite its flaws and I hope it won't turn into a far right community.

Block anyone or any instance you find regularly being outright misogynistic and slowly, but surely, create a better place for yourself.

Please don't leave. We all need you here. (But I understand if you do...)

You're not alone! Please stay!

It fucking sucks. This place was great shortly after the reddit exodus. Now it's just as bad, if not worse.

As a man, are there any fucking online spaces that haven't been co-opted by right wing interests? I'm sick of this "red pill" bullshit infecting the minds of young men in every corner of the internet. Nowhere is safe. I wish they'd crawl back into the holes they came out of.

We are going fucking backwards and it's infuriating.

It's not just misogyny. I'm watching the sweetest, most kind user getting ripped to shreds for posting articles from MSM about candidates across the spectrum, who are of neither major party. The toxicity is wild , self-justification more wild. In the short time I've been on Lemmy, it's "gone to hell in a fast car and keeping it hot," as I hear a user elsewhere say. about certain topics. I'm quickly becoming of the opinion the up and down votes get discarded and a randomized ranking algorithm put in place.

I honestly have no idea how any Lemmy comment might be helpful at reducing the murders of women.

How many in that statistic are men being killed by women? How many of those murders are the result of gang violence that’s predominantly committed against men by other men?

I assume you’re referring to this stat:

In 2022, the FBI reported that 14,441 men and 4,251 women were murdered in the United States.

… which equates to about 79% of all murders.

There’s a lot of nuance in that broad, sweeping statistic, but here are some statistics that are more clear:

In the same year, there were 15,094 male murder offenders and 2,107 female murder offenders.

… so the problem isn’t that more men are being murdered in general, but that an overwhelmingly larger number of men are murderers, and they target each other quite a bit. Gang violence stats are wrapped up in that 79%, and most gang violence is male-on-male.

Here’s another:

Among homicides in the United States, intimate partners kill almost 50% of female and 10% of male victims.

Many of these stats are situational, making that overly-broad figure misleading.

Also, the likelihood of being murdered increases quite a bit when a woman is pregnant:

In 2020, the homicide rate for pregnant or postpartum women was 5.23 per 100,000 live births, which is 35% higher than the rate for non-pregnant and non-postpartum women.

And that doesn’t include all the violent sexual crimes against women and girls, that are also committed at a far higher rate than against men and boys.

The overarching fact seems to be that men kill men a lot, and they also kill women an order of magnitude more often than women kill men, so maybe the problem here is men’s propensity for violence.

e: If that’s what you meant, I agree, we should be finding and implementing ways to reduce male toxicity in general, which includes many things like supporting mental health care and opposing norms (mostly within the online ‘manosphere’) that promote and foster toxic rather than healthy masculinity.

You are over three times less likely to be a victim of murder (in the US at least) if you are a woman, than a man.

There is a big difference in intent. Do these 3x times men been murder just for been a man?

The femicide(at least in a decent country) is a category of crime, a discriminatory crime, is not a normal murder, is associated with rape or domestic violence, etc.

I'll just say this: End femicide.
