[05:49:45] <chromas> only one woman on death row eh. shouldn't it be 77%?
[05:50:52] <AzumaHazuki> requerdanos: congratulations. i think you'll do well in this
[05:51:40] <AzumaHazuki> and why 77%, chromas? haven't you noticed men are a hell of a lot more violent and murderous?
[05:52:33] <chromas> that's 'cause the patriarchy's holding them back
[05:54:21] <AzumaHazuki> you wish
[05:54:49] <AzumaHazuki> we just don't have the same violent tendencies, we have a much lower incidence of psychopathy...honestly, i think men are too emotional and volatile to hold office
[05:54:53] <chromas> That's why lesbian relationships have the highest proportion of domestic abuse—no men to hold them back
[05:55:09] <AzumaHazuki> the highest proportion of *reported* incidents, of unclassified severity :) nice try
[05:55:20] <AzumaHazuki> i know that statistic, and it's true but not the entire story
[05:55:22] <chromas> yes, well you can hardly have stats on unreported anything
[05:55:47] <AzumaHazuki> i will bet you good money there is higher-severity and more widespread violence in couples with at least one man
[05:55:51] <AzumaHazuki> but a lot less reporting
[05:56:21] * chromas imagines a gay couple threatening each other with a knuckle sammich if the other one tattles
[05:56:50] <AzumaHazuki> that likely happens a hell of a lot. i'd guess there's a lot of murder-suicide threats too
[05:57:00] <AzumaHazuki> "you tell anyone, we're BOTH outed, and our lives are over"
[05:57:23] <chromas> Also why cop suicides are so low. "Accident while cleaning his gun"
[05:57:43] <AzumaHazuki> also? sample size of one here, but the only abusive girlfriend I ever had was bisexual, not lesbian. the other gay women i've been with were nothing but wonderful
[05:58:29] <chromas> Did any of your girlfriends have abusive girlfriends?
[05:58:49] <AzumaHazuki> no, though the bi woman said her ex Izzy left her very suddenly for no good reason
[05:59:08] <chromas> seems legit
[05:59:58] <AzumaHazuki> we've gone way off on a tangent here. the vast majority of violence is done by men, and a hell of a lot of it to other men
[06:00:18] <AzumaHazuki> all those mens' rights activists ought to be cleaning up their own house and their fellow males' behavior before complaining about women
[06:00:54] <chromas> well much like feminists, you only hear about the bad ones
[06:01:29] <AzumaHazuki> that's...that's not even wrong o_O
[06:01:57] <AzumaHazuki> there's plenty of bad ones you never hear about. the very systems of politics, economy, and work set up by men are violent meatgrinders, mostly to other men
[06:02:22] <chromas> I didn't say you hear about them all
[06:02:57] <AzumaHazuki> it's all a giant racket. a few wealthy sociopaths tell all the poor men they're fucking over "at least you're not {queer/female/black/$OTHER} and presto, they have an army of resentful mediocrities
[06:03:38] <chromas> well also the men getting screwed over in divorces, domestic abuse situations and whatnot
[06:04:08] <AzumaHazuki> small potatoes by comparison. it should be addressed, though; a woman is not always automatically the better parent
[06:38:34] <aristarchus_> Why do we only ever hear about the bad chromases, I want to know?
[06:39:10] <chromas> We're all bad
[06:41:20] <aristarchus_> Seems like, a teachable moment?
[06:41:46] <chromas> what moment?
[06:43:07] <aristarchus_> Just missed it!
[06:43:55] <chromas> well that'll teach me
[06:45:53] <aristarchus_> Speaking of which, I have a new Journal, about nothing. Expect many insightful comments!
[10:09:29] -!- aristarchus_ has quit [Ping timeout: 265 seconds]
[13:15:39] <Bytram> When in a motivated search for something one really wants, it is tempting to make maximum use of all tools at one's command that can be used to one's advantage. Be that physically, mentally, or emotionally. As males generally *tend* to be stronger physically than women, and can make up for intellectual shortcomings in a pinch (knock the other guy senseless), there's a temptation to devolved to "might makes right".
[13:16:44] <Bytram> "Just because you have silenced an opponent, does not mean you have won him over."
[13:17:21] <requerdanos> Also, "Someone convinced against his will is of the same opinion still."
[13:18:54] <Bytram> Why *force* a man to fish when, after being instructed in the challenges and joys of a catch, the man will *want* to fish and no further effort on my part is required. He'll do all the fishing I could ask for, and more!
