Quoting crime statistics based on gender:
Quoting crime statistics based on race:
Quoting crime statistics based on race, like the old "13/50" trope, is often used to enforce racist notions that minority groups are inherently bad people. It's punching down at marginalized people.
This meme, at least as I see it, is the opposite. It's satirizing the usual crap from the anti-feminist crowd claiming that women are inherently inferior. It's punching up at sexist men.
Statistics put men globally as being 81% of the victims of violent crime. And the perpetrators of that crime being less than 1% of the male population. So to put it another way, youre making the same argument as racists when they claim that all black guys sell drugs because some black guy sold them a joint one time.
This is just yet another in a long line of "men bad" memes, in an online society that accepts and celebrates bigotry.
