no he didn't. He doesn't understand the context and is using a specific type of crime as all crime, it is not.
For example, the paper does not include homicide. It's a report on interviewed victims, not a report of all violent crime.
Now that's just dishonest. disgbo said that "men are FAR more likely than women to be victims of violence, physical intimidation, violent crime, and other physical threats". dirk asked for evidence. The report digsbo cited, and the one he provided below, are exactly the evidence proving his claim.
Lets look at a more accurate and detail review, shall we?
Now who's cherry-picking? This report is about domestic violence only, which is but a small subset of all "violence, physical intimidation, violent crimes and other physical threats". Overall, men are more likely to be both victims and perpetrators in our culture. The argument that women have to be more conscientious about their safety just doesn't seem justified by the evidence.
I agree with the use of #YesAllWomen to bring awareness to sexual harassment, which is still prevalent, but I disagree with its use to highlight some belief that women live under some vague but constant threat of male violence that the rest of us don't, like this tweet. If the message is more targeted at things like domestic violence, that's justified by the evidence.
