“But men commit 90% of violent crime.” This might be one of the laziest responses in the gender debate. I’m going to break this down, slowly, so we can stop using regurgitated words not understanding how ridiculous this I argument actually is. First: the number isn’t even 90%. In the FBI’s 2024 arrest data, men accounted for about 79% of violent-crime arrests. That is absolutely disproportionate. I have no problem acknowledging that. But here is where people immediately expose that they don’t understand base rates: “79% of violent offenders are male” does NOT mean “79% of males are violent offenders.” Those are two completely different denominators. There are more than 165 MILLION males in the United States. There were roughly 374,000 reported violent-crime arrests in the FBI data, about 79% of which were male. That’s roughly 295,000 male arrests. Even if we pretended, incorrectly, that every single arrest represented a DIFFERENT man, that would be around: 0.18% of the male population. And arrests are NOT unique offenders. The same offender can be arrested multiple times. In fact, criminal offending is highly concentrated among repeat offenders. In one major BJS analysis, just 16% of released prisoners accounted for nearly HALF of all subsequent arrests. So yes: Men are massively overrepresented among violent offenders. AND The overwhelming majority of men are NOT violent offenders. Both statements are simultaneously true. That’s what base rates and proportionality are for. Then we get to IPV, as this repeated statement is used as justification to dismiss men’s issues, assuming, of course, that this is in defense of women Here it becomes even more interesting. There is an enormous body of research using measures such as the Conflict Tactics Scales finding substantial gender SYMMETRY in the perpetration of physical partner aggression. Straus reviewed 200+ studies finding roughly comparable proportions of men and women reporting physical aggression toward partners. That does NOT mean the consequences are identical. Men are, on average, physically stronger. Male violence is therefore substantially more capable of producing serious injury, and women experience greater injury from partner violence. Fine. Acknowledge it. But “men can inflict more damage” does not magically transform female violence into non-violence. A woman hitting a man isn’t empowering. It isn’t funny. It isn’t justified because he can probably hit harder. It’s violence. And current CDC estimates also remind us that men are not some hypothetical class of victims: about 930,000 U.S. men reported physical violence from an intimate partner in the preceding year in the 2023/24 survey. Finally, if we’re going to invoke male violence, let’s talk about who actually experiences it. According to the 2024 National Crime Victimization Survey, approximately 2.39 million violent incidents involving male victims had male offenders, compared with about 1.82 million involving female victims and male offenders. In other words, MEN themselves absorb an enormous share of male violence. So the next time someone responds to a male issue with: “But men commit most violent crime…” Ask them three questions: What percentage of men actually commit violent crime? How concentrated is that violence among repeat offenders? And who are the victims of male violence? Because “most violent offenders are men” and “most men are violent” are not remotely the same proposition. If you don’t understand the denominator, you don’t understand the statistic. And using the behavior of a tiny, disproportionately violent subset of men to assign collective guilt to 165+ million males isn’t statistical literacy. It’s stereotyping with a calculator.

Your responses to provocations are gold. Don’t give it to undeserving twerps spread all over social media.

But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” - 1 Sam 16:7 He was already built and tattooed like this before he became a pastor. This man was an actor - a very good one at that. Anyone can be called into ministry. Him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead and calleth those things which are not, as though they were. - Rom 4:17 I think we box God into the creation we have in mind because we forget we are the creation, not Him. Who ministers is at God's discretion. That is why 1 Cor 1:27 says "Instead, God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong." I'm not saying don't judge him. Judge him by what he preaches. Crosscheck his preaching with the gospel of Christ for any controversy and false doctrine. Judge his life for ungodliness. Is he performing fake miracles or extorting his members through biblical misinterpretation. Appearance is a nebulous claim to godliness. Bodily exercise profits little(1 Tim 4:8), but at least, there is profit. Holding to a form of [outward] godliness (religion), although they have denied its power [for their conduct nullifies their claim of faith]. Avoid such people and keep far away from them - 2Tim 3:5 It is not by clean cut and suit. By their fruits, you'll know them.

A man says he was voluntarily paying his child’s mother $300 a week, but after asking for just two months to get back on his feet financially, she filed for child support and the court ultimately ordered him to pay only $13 a month

This is what family and parenting should be. Some people are simply better prepared to be parents than others.

Men, things you would not want in your marriage, don’t accept them in your relationships. Not for any reason, not for any “peace to reign”. This is an unspoken rule. You would regret it.

Ahora están cantando juntas en otro escenario. QEPD.

I hope you miss me. I hope my children miss me. I hope the people who matter to me remember me fondly, and I still light up faces way after I am gone. For in my mind, there is no worse fate than living and leaving this world without having touched anyone so deeply they wish you immortality.

SERENA WILLIAMS AND CARLOS ALCARAZ REACT TO THEIR US OPEN WIN! 🤩🔥 Fresh off their debut win, @serenawilliams and @carlosalcaraz talked about their chemistry on Arthur Ashe! Key Moments From the On-Court Interview: Serena's Return: "I never expected to be back on this court... I never thought this would happen!" Carlos' Nerves: Admitted to double-faulting on the very first point due to pre-match jitters after 5 months out: "Playing alongside Serena, it’s still competition, full crowd... She made it really easy for me." The Secret Sauce: According to Serena, the key against Cobolli & Bencic is simple: "Just have fun. This is such a bonus for us to be out here." Both superstars are clearly enjoying each other's company on court and it is an absolute treat for tennis fans worldwide!🍿 Are you taking Serena & Alcaraz to win the whole tournament?

SERENA WILLIAMS AND CARLOS ALCARAZ. Dear Lord. 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

@whube_urpadi @Wizarab10 I genuinely hope you're proud of this stupidity you just displayed.

This boy is actually stoopid🤣

NO BABY DESERVES TO SUFFER LIKE THIS ON DAY 1, PLANET EARTH! 😭😢 Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) Hello dear pregnant women, I want to speak with you about something vbery important, not just for your health, but for your baby’s future. When a pregnant woman takes drugs like opioids, cocaine, cannabis, or even drinks alcohol regularly, those substances do not stay in her body alone. They cross the placenta and go straight to the baby. And bbecause babies cannot clear these substances the way adults do, their tiny systems become dependent. The painful truth is that after birth, when the cord is cut and the drug supply suddenly stops, the baby begins to suffer withdrawal. This is what we call Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS). The baby may cry uncontrollably, shake with tremors, struggle to feed, have breathing problems, or even seizures. It is heartbreaking to see a newborn in so much distress simply because of what happened during pregnancy. But here’s the good news: NAS is preventable. By avoiding drugs and alcohol completely in pregnancy, you protect your child from a painful start in life. If you are already using substances, please do not feel ashamed, but do seek help. There are safe, supportive programs that can help you stop in a controlled way, so both you and your baby stay healthy. Avoid self-medicating with painkillers or sedatives. Always consult your doctor if you need treatment. Every mother wants her child’s first cry to be of life and not of pain. And you have the power to give your baby that gift... by choosing health, by choosing support, and by choosing to let go of drugs and alcohol. Your baby’s body is built from your choices. Let those choices be ones you can be proud of.

I’m delighted that this particular argument is finally being resolved.

Bruhh, listen to the exhaust🤯😮‍💨

women get fvcked as revenge??😅
