    Yep, like the suicide gap that will often come up, MRAs will talk up how men commit suicide at 5 times the rate of women, but quietly not mention the part where it’s not for lack of trying, women will more often choose less violent means that are easier to be saved from, meaning that despite actually attempting far more than men, they are rescued or are able to back out of it much more often.

    On that point, women and men engage in abuse patterns differently, which is why society has had trouble recognizing women abusers and their victims. Instead of battering them or choking them, they’ll call the cops on them or pursue them with a knife or threaten their loved ones or treasured possessions or even pets.

    Victims of male abusers come out often fearing for their physical safety and mistrusting other men, victims of female abusers will come out fearing for their safety but mistrusting society at large because abusive women will often make the levers of society their weapon instead of the more blunt instruments abusive men tend to use.
