@RikaDerufu@LukeAlmighty It is given that violent crime is a near-zero factor, it makes sense that women are murdered more than men. This is because all the murderers you have left are insane people and assassins, the latter being effectively a non-factor. When it comes to being attacked insane people, it is definitely easier for a man to defend himself, given his superior phyical strength, than it is for a woman.
Assuming that the mentally deranged attack men and women at a similar rate, it adds up that men survive these encounters about 25% more often than women. To think that there is a culture of "kill all women" in the mind of all the mentally stable Japanese men is crazy, that stuff is reserved for Koreans.
@RikaDerufu@LukeAlmighty Let's take some other famous countries, and see how safe they are for women:
USA, 18%, 14 women murdered per one million pop UK, 30%, 3 women murdered per one million pop China, 22%, 2 women murdered per one million pop Russia, 25%, 23 women murdered per one million pop Romania, 38%, 6 women murdered per one million pop
Japan is as safe or safer for women than all of these countries based strictly on how often women are murdered.
@RikaDerufu@LukeAlmighty But why does the ratio matter? The question we are asking here is "Is the UN correct when they say that Japan is unsafe for women because of anime", and after that the question "Is Japan even unsafe for women at all". The answer to both questions, based on homicide rates, is "no".
>We should also look at updated data (like the one I brought up) Give me an easy to sort through worldwide list, and I will do that.
>Austria and Germany notoriously have problems with gender based violence Since I have statistics only for homicide, that's all I can talk about, but Austria is the second safest country in Europe with more than a million inhabitants. Italy would based on this statistic have around three homicided women per one million inhabitants, still more than Japan.
@RikaDerufu@LukeAlmighty >I'm not surprised they rank high on this chart THEY LITERALLY RANK THE LOWEST! I am telling you that Japan is comparable to the safest countries in Europe, not the least safe! If Japan has a problem, everyone does.
@RikaDerufu@LukeAlmighty 2013 data has 31% female homicide victim rate for Italy, so these numbers are even more in your favor in terms of women murdered per one million inhabitants, assuming the murder rates have stayed the same.
@RikaDerufu@LukeAlmighty I don't care about Italy. You made a point about Japan being a unique case, and the numbers I could find told me otherwise. In fact they told me that Japan is a safer country for women (in terms of risking homicide) than Austria.
@RikaDerufu@LukeAlmighty A quick look at homicide victims by gender on wikipedia in 2013: Japan: 59% Switzerland: 57% Austria: 57% HongKong: 53% New Zealand: 51% Latvia: 51%
It's not like Japan is a significant outlier, even if it is the worst in terms of women killed per man. They do in fact have the third lowest homicide rate worldwide based on those same numbers. So while Japan has around two murdered women per one million inhabitants, Austria has around four murdered women per one million inhabitants.
All of this is 2013 data though, so a bit outdated.
@RikaDerufu@LukeAlmighty Looking exclusively at the gender ratio of murders without looking at the total number relative to other countries is retarded.
@LukeAlmighty The population will bounce back I mean, and by extention also the retirement system.
As for something other than money being protected; everyone understands that being in a healthy economy rather than a broke one is conductive to a life that makes you enjoy being alive. On the other hand; not much is being done to fix the population issue exactly because people's freedom is being respected. Our incompetent leaders still have to figure out a solution to the problem though, and replacement migration seems to be their chosen one.
@sickburnbro While it keeps cowards and weaklings away from power, I also think it might push psychopaths and sadists into the positions as well, since every candidate would have to say to themselves "yeah, I could kill my competitor, no matter who it is".
@LukeAlmighty Every time I have had a recommendation from staff it was simply "we recommend [most expensive item on the menu]", so I don't really care for the staff's recommendation. It might be true that the most expensive thing is also the best thing, sure, but for a penny-pincher like me, I don't get the feeling that they have my interests at heart when giving me their recommendation.
