    True Detective season 2 might not be that great, but “the fundamental difference between the sexes is that one of them can kill the other with their bare hands” is a sentence that stuck with me.

    Like it or not, one sex is, on average, in considerably more danger in a bad relationship than the other.

      I’d say the de facto differences between the sexes is that one can kill their partner at the cost of sacrificing his own freedom in the process (believe it or not, straight to jail), while the other can utterly and entirely ruin the other’s life without any consequences at all, or even positive consequences like praise and recognition.

      On top of that, I can’t imagine why someone would even Google something like this outside of domestic violence related reasons. Are people really expecting to find out from google why their spouse is upset with them in a typical argument?

        I doubt anyone would google this, if I was going to it would be to find online topics that are tangential. At that point all bets are off tbh, obviously the range of websites related to the search is as wide as the original example shows.

        The to level comment here is correct that it’s more dangerous on average for a woman being abused by a man than the other way around, but you’re correct her that Google should just suggest domestic violence help for anyone.

        Also these days there are quite a few men out there with husbands…

          Even still what can you expect out of some webpage probably written by AI or an author that doesn’t even know you exist?

      Theoretically, yes, practically, no.

      Like, if you got epilepsy, your muscles can cramp, and destroy your body tissue that way. That doesn’t mean it happens under any normal circumstances.
