You have to deal with realities no matter how uncomfortable.
Part of the reason the race element is so contentious is the data is not as good as it should be because people didn’t want to collect it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002dzj6
But, if you look at the element of gender, and the element of race, in sex abuse, even with bad data, gender makes race pale in comparison.
So we need to look that shit in the face, in the eye, and deal. That’s how we improve things for our daughters, and our sons.
Ok - next topic, infanticide, 80% of perpetrators are women.
Let’s look that shit in the face,in the eye, and deal. Let’s get our elected representatives on the TV, internet and radio and make it clear that women are killing their children.
We like to put things in neat boxes, categories, in order to break problems down, sometimes those categories are helpful, sometimes they are not.
I’m sure with infanticide risk they are looking at mothers. Focus where the risk is. That’s what data is for. Why it has to be accurate. Infanticide risk monitoring will a postnatal depression checking on the mother.
So not all women? Just mothers? Just new mothers? Just new mothers showing symptoms of PND?
I think you may be correct, it would be ridiculous to send out politicians to say things like “women kill their babies”, much in the same way it would be ridiculous to to say “abusers are men”
We don’t get anywhere pending the problem is not as it is. Not all us men are abuses, but “93% of defendants in domestic abuse cases are male; 84% of victims are female.” https://refuge.org.uk/what-is-domestic-abuse/the-facts/
So we need to look at what is going on with men that is causing this.
Well she’s not wrong, unfortunately. We have to face that if we are going to improve things. Which we should all want to.
They were both generalising, one is racism, the other is misandry, neither should be tolerated from our reporters or politicians.

How exactly does generalising help us in this situation?
We know where we need to focus to improve things. You need to analyze a problem to fix it. Denial fixes nothing.
