Just as in the case of Aszia Johnson, women in the U.S. are predominantly killed by men they know, and largely by current or former intimate partners. Of all intimate partner female homicides in 2018, 92% of victims were killed by a man they knew, and 63% were killed by current husbands, boyfriends, or ex-husbands.

Bump. I keep hearing about women who were killed by their partners - or ex-partners. Like this one: http://nypost.com/2024/09/11/world-news/miss-switzerland-finalist-strangled-to-death-then-pureed-in-a-blender-by-her-husband-kristina-joksimovic/ IP: Logged |

This is such a huge problem, not only in this country, but all over the world, and what do we usually hear? That women need to do better. IP: Logged |

An epidemic means something that is getting exponentially worse every year, spreading widely and rapidly. Do you have statistics to prove that WAY MORE women are being killed now every year than 10 or 20 or 30 years ago? IP: Logged |

A couple of days ago, a male Democratic strategist decided to post that Kamala should be focusing on men more. Like he wasn’t aware of what’s at stake for women. He apologized, and deleted his post, but he approached the topic in the wrong way. IP: Logged |

Wait, so all of the women being killed, don’t matter?? It’s been an issue forever, and it’s just been normalized. The article is from 2023, in January. The woman I mentioned today, was from a different country. She was *blended*. But let’s hear why men have it worse. They aren’t getting enough sex! Apparently. IP: Logged |

So, I'd like to hear what that wondrous protector of women - Donald Trump - is going to do to protect all of us from male American citizens, who are out here murdering women in their lives. I haven't heard a peep about anything like that. Only his BS about undocumented immigrants. And of course it's #notallmen, but it's too ******* many of them. IP: Logged |

Must your logic be always clouded in emotionalism? 1) Do you understand the meaning of the word "epidemic"? You have not answered my question but deflected. Again, where are your stats that this has reached "epidemic" proportions? 2) in the US, 3 times more men then women are killed each year!! Imagine that! It's called the "epidemic" of homicide. Stats: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1388777/murder-victims-in-the-us-by-gender/ Which means you are 3x more likely to be killed if you are a man than if you are a woman. IP: Logged |

Still haven't seen anything from Trump, about what he's going to do, to stop all of these murders of women, by their partners, friends, or family members. IP: Logged |

In fact, I don't see anything about this from Republicons, at all. IP: Logged |
