I'm a middle winger.

I don't have to time to educate anyone who can't browse to www.fbi.gov and then look for the uniform crime report and then look at the total arrests by gender. By the way, this is a seven: 7, and this is a nine: 9.

Since 72% of all arrests were men, that would mean that 7 out of 10 crimes were committed by men as opposed to 9 out of 10 as you assert.

Well apparently you didn't read it.

80.4 % of people arrested for violent crime were men. And men commit ~90 % of all murders, depending what year you look at.

In 2011 the number of women killed by a husband or boyfriend was 500 % higher than the number of men killed by a wife or girlfriend.

Which means that chihuahuanut was still wrong.

And you can also show that age and race have large swings in homicide rates. Do you plan on having a special law to protect older Asian men from younger black women? Should we have the violence against everyone else by 15-30 year old male act?

Is their a chart we can use for age, sex, race, and income? I also think height and weight factor in. Obviously a 250lb man is going to have different statistics. There are lots of demographics we could use. What is the vegan male homicide rate?

Well, the statistics are what they are. I still don't get your point. There's a unique vulnerability to being the victim of violence at the hands of an intimate partner, and I don't see why a law that addresses that is a problem for you.
