Edit: Alright, I just realized I posted this in the wrong section. It was meant for the Off Topic board. For that, I apologize. However, this is a good opportunity for PC gaming neckbeards to possibly reevauluate their lives and try to better themselves. Seeing as it's here and we can't get rid of it, we might as well talk and hopefully convert some butthurt, PC gaming basement-dwellers to decent human beings.

 

  • Every 9 seconds in the US a woman is assaulted or beaten.
  • Around the world, at least one in every three women has been beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused during her lifetime. Most often, the abuser is a member of her own family.
  • Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to womenmore than car accidents, muggings, and rapes combined.
  • Studies suggest that up to 10 million children witness some form of domestic violence annually.
  • Nearly 1 in 5 teenage girls who have been in a relationship said a boyfriend threatened violence or self-harm if presented with a breakup.
  • Everyday in the US, more than three women are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends.
  • Ninety-two percent of women surveyed listed reducing domestic violence and sexual assault as their top concern.
  • Domestic violence victims lose nearly 8 million days of paid work per year in the US alonethe equivalent of 32,000 full-time jobs.
  • Based on reports from 10 countries, between 55 percent and 95 percent of women who had been physically abused by their partners had never contacted non-governmental organizations, shelters, or the police for help.
  • The costs of intimate partner violence in the US alone exceed $5.8 billion per year: $4.1 billion are for direct medical and health care services, while productivity losses account for nearly $1.8 billion.
  • Men who as children witnessed their parents domestic violence were twice as likely to abuse their own wives than sons of nonviolent parents.

Keep in mind these are just for America alone, which is commonly believed by many to be the best country in the world. And even if it's not, it's still, at the very least, in the top 25/200. No one would dare go farther than that without looking like a complete idiot.

So, what are you guys doing to help?

It was an accident. I'm sorry. If I was a woman and this was real life, I'd bet you'd be the type of guy that would beat me. Or maybe you don't even need a reason. You're that kind of sick ****.

Well, I'll beat the fvck out of you, regardless you're woman or man.

j/k, I'll just give you a pat on the head, change your major son, you chose psychology, but it doesn't choose you, too bad.

It is not. He was commenting yesterday on Kevin VanOrd's neckbeard and how it looked awful and how he should shave it, etc. etc. I questioned his sexuality because he cared so much about it. I don't care if he is or not. I was just wondering if it was true.

2.This is still being studied.

 

3.Old, car accidents kill more women and women are the primary lead in car accidents.

 

5.More men are killed or have someone assult them by a girl because they broke up with the female than the other way around now.

 

6.Immigrants. Locally more men are threatened by women who either think they are cheating or break up with them,

 

8.If that was true the job market would have opened more hours in cap yet it decreases in all categories?

 

10.This has not been proven and is complete crap, most down beat parents are women who get pregnant early not ready to have a kid, and most drug abused kid to parent relationships involve females.

 

 

Thread is full of error.

Or if you include nagging, exponentially more. 

No, that's not how you use "exponentially." Exponentially is a scientific term that means increase over time. It is not a substitute for "incredibly" or any of its derivatives. People are abusing that term more than men are abused. Why? Because men's powers feel threatened, so they make a big deal out of nothing.

Blah, blah, blah, blah... I've heard it all before. Fact is, women are way more oppressed than men. As PC gamers, surely you don't need me to prove it (since you guys never back up your claims with any evidence and just use ridiculous hyperbole). I could actually prove it, though, unlike you guys who are unable to make convincing arguments about your shallow PC games, but I know you all won't listen... The neckbeards... It's eating away at your brains.
