Was there no SNS because of budget cuts? Gawker going under? There have been less articles overall this week. So much so that Mohammed Ali’s death has only been covered in Dirt Bag.

This is the worst post in this entire debacle of a comment’s section. Men’s soccer is far more competitive and makes far more money, and generates far more interest than women’s soccer. Can you name a single US women’s soccer club team?

Your understanding is wrong. Total Women’s World Cup prize money - 17 million. Total Men’s World Cup Money - 358 million. The USMNT got 9 million in 2014 for going to the round of 16, even without counting TV revenue, that’s more than the women have ever brought in, in a single year. The only year the women ever made…

I don’t understand it, why journalists - not just Jezebel, but even the Daily Show fail to report on the real numbers. Numbers you can arrive at after a cursory google search.

It is actually you who are wrong. Women only generated more revenue than the men in 2015 (they made 8mil) because the Women’s world cup was held that year (yes, this was the same year the men’s team lost 2mil, because they participated in no major tournaments). In 2014, when the men were involved in the world cup,…

The olympic committee does not pay them though.

The probability of a random man being a murderer in his lifetime -around 0.01%. The probability of random murder being a woman is around 25%. These numbers do not suggest that there should be a gendered approach to the problem of murder.

Yeah, meant 150,000,000 dudes. Final answer still correct though.

There are 150,000 males in America. If all the murders that year were committed by males, then the percentage of males who are killers would be 0.008%. Your proposed policy is Hitlerian.

Well, there are around a total of over 12,000 homicides per year in the US. About 76% of victims were men. Why just address the ones that affect women?

Why did anyone care about any of this in the first place?

I actually have a link to one right here. If you really want to see it, I could send it to you.

No. We should should focus on all rampant and senseless violence, because attempting to focus only on the violence against women in these situations is a non-starter. A violent mudering, possibly drug dealing/abusing lunatic is not probably not going to change his mind about rape if he continues to think murdering…

Boko Haram killed boys because there was very little demand for boys - not as wives/sex slaves. In say... Sierra Leone a few years ago, the boys would be recruited to fight as part of the rebel army. They would be drugged, indoctrinated, given rifles and sent to the front lines. If the leaders of Boko Haram had use…

Societies that are less violent are also more wealthy, better educated, and have lower birth rates. The government in Rwanda is 63% female, their homicide rate is top 10.

They do not see other people’s (men’s and women’s) lives as worth anything. This is why they can kill and otherwise harm indiscriminately. They don’t identify with other men or with other women, anyone other than themselves is disposable. As for playthings - have you seen any of those videos where Cartel members party…

We are talking about 2 different things. I agree in some cutlures women are seen as inferior, but that has little to do with things like this that happen in a Favela in Brazil where murder is probably a daily occurrence. There is so much violence going around that actually the fact that women are comparatively…

I’ve posted too much on this article, I agree women probably should be treated better, but they are actually treated far better than men are. In places like Brazil, men are murdered in MASSIVE numbers by other men. The shit that happens to women is probably byproduct of the god awful carnage that motherfucking…

You must be pretty sheltered if this is the straw that broke your camel’s back. Last week, about 2 streets over from where I live a girl had gasoline poured in her face by another girl. She was then set on fire and watched as her face burned, her airway closed off and she suffocated. They brought her in to the ER…

This is something people in many places do to their rivals, more recently, mexico comes to mind, rape notwithstanding. The people in question probably have done, in the last week, things worse than the worst thing you can imagine. You’re not in their league when it comes to violence. I don’t know why you would want to…
