I tried to find more information about her claim about divorce and female homicide rates. Over that time period, male homicide also dropped considerably. I am wondering how she knows that there's a causational relationship with divorce and not other factors?

    i will sau I have no source that backs up what she says but I will say that it does make sense from a layman's perspective.

    Everyone in this comment section can cite like 5 different true crime stories involving a partner who decided to stay with their abusive male partner cause they thought it was what they oughta do or divvorce was against their religion or sometjing....and then rhey end up getting beaten up AGAIN by that same male partner.

    Stories like that are too common. You have males trying to justify their violence all because their psrtner cheated on them (...when they could have just left), cause their partner refused to have sex with them for a couple years (...when they could have just left and found someone who would have sex with them) , cause thei r partner or ex-partner wanted to keep the baby (the baby that THEY put in them ...when they could have just not had sex and dealt with it , gotten a vasectomy , used a condom, oor just left and paid child support) its so fucking common its sickening. ANd disgusting, illogical justifications like this have been being oushed and pushed for centuries ...

    And throughout history its been seen time and again thst the most dangerous person a non-male will ever meet is....of course their male partners.

    So from a layman's perspective seeing as how males have had a history of clearly proving theyre the larger , girthier, and more violent of all the genders it makes sense that giving non-males protection mechanisms from males like rights to at will divorce, protection orders, no-contact orders, consitutional rights for non-males , witness protection programs, abuse shelters, etc... will decrease the homicide rates of those poor non-males from abusive males.

    You know , now that Im typing it out I find it odd that we would give non-males SOME protections for their defence against males ...but we dont give them other defences against males and the control these abusive males have over them like universal access to mental health care for all genders (so that abusive males can fucking learn to man up and not be an abusive twat) , universal access to housing and financial protection for people of all genders that live with abusive partners, universal access to ALL birth controls and abortions so those abusive males cant use a child as a means to lure in and attack their former partners, etc...
