But there's straight up evidence of that. So plz no vapid eye rolls.
http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2014/05/13/3437471/women-homicide-work/All told in 2012, 351 women died on the job. The leading cause of death was homicide – 28 percent were murdered, a sharp increase from the 8 percent killed at work in 2011. While far more men die on the job than women overall – 4,277 were killed at work that year – just 9 percent are murdered.
Why are so many women victims of homicide at work?
The only problem with this article is it's a huge beat up. It's like asking "why are so many white people arrested by the police?" and only looking at raw numbers, not percentages. This is a textbook logical fallacy:
"begging the question".And the "Sharp increase" never happened. I checked 2008 figures and they're the same as the 2012 figures. I'm guessing they misread the 2011 male-homicide rate of 8%. So this is a scare campaign about an epidemic of female-centric murders at workplaces which isn't even happening.
9% of 4277 men = 376, and 28% of 351 women = 99 (from checking the data source). So, women are a lot more safe from murder than men are. They're just
disproportionally extra, extra safe from all other things that happen to men on the job.
So a data source which screams "women are really safe compared to men" is twisted into "epidemic of anti-woman violence is upon us!"
It's like the feminist version of the Daily Mail scare campaigns.
