Why are things—like murder—seen as way worse when women are involved?

I'm more saddened when it is children :(

That's obvious. Society views women as fragile and something to be protected so people feel uncomfortable when they're hurt. It's the same with children. Think of the cliche save the women and children before men

Yeah I'd say so. That's how when people are talking about terrorism or any war with civilian casualties they use the phrase "women and children". To highlight how barbaric it was.

Because women are seen as the 'gentler' sex.
Which has been dispelled many times!
Wanna know something truly disturbing?
People always assume paedophiles are men. But not all of them are!!!

@falconpunch yeah it is but society doesn't usually see it that way. Maybe feminism will change that, I'm sure that's one of their highest priorities..after the word bossy and man spreading 🙄

I guess maybe because for a long time, women weren't ever fighters, like they weren't allowed to be knights in medieval times or they weren't cavalry (except for the Mongols) or archers or whatever else. So people I guess thought that since women weren't fighters with weapons and stuff, it was even more despicable to kill them because they didn't have any chance to defend themselves.

I didn't know people were like that. I'm sure some are.

I can't tell if you're being serious or not, A7x.

@bluemetal yeah I'm mysterious like that 😎

There's a inclination toward believing the woman had done nothing at all. Nothing justifies murder but sometimes with men who are killed, people think he'd done something.

@fernie nice rant. Wrong thread!

Ooh, you like that aura of mystery 😁

@fern yes go and feed your cats

@falconpunch RENOUNCE YOUR PRIVILAGE!!! REEEENOUNNNCCCEEE!!!! 😠

BlueMetalChick aka BMC...I can always count on you to say it straight!!! (oddandsingular)

Feminism.. I guess

Because we are kind beings. Well, most of us.

SolivagantJC ...what does that mean exactly? What does Feminism have to do with anything?

idk

@falconpunch your a man..you can't do anything right lol oh and if you could try not to rape any of us today, that'd be just swell 😋

Fernie, my posting is about being killed, bud.

Both as victims AND as perpetrators, because the primary role of women is seen as sisters, daughters and mothers.

Maybe because close to 90% of homicides are committed by males. Mass murderers are almost always white males. Yes, women kill too....the numbers make it a bit of a shock when they do though...and they kill for different reasons and in different ways...just as heinous but, men take the big prize when it comes to killing

@Fern pillaging? 😂 im not mad, I just find bitter angry women like you embarrassing and cringe worthy.

@fern what does "white males" and "mass murder" have to do with anything? You just can't stand it that for once you're not the victim of social bias so you resort to some mad rant that has nothing to do with the question..honestly you people are an embarrassment to womankind!

A7xqueen you really are a ridiculous child...really. I'm done with you.

A7xqueen ...LOL! Mad rant? That is nuts. I stated some facts that clearly pissed you off. You are silly and yep....WHITE MALES do most of the raping, pillaging, molesting, murdering, genocides, crimes in general....you can google this stuff ya know
