In reply to the discussion: When Men Hate Women: Femicide in Ciudad Juarez [View all]BainsBane
(54,087 posts)97. Yes, regardless of your views about guns
What was said in that thread does not justify your anger over discussions about the murders of women. 1) you didn't bother to read the OP. So much of what is in your post reflects poor reading comprehension 2) your statistical source is dubious and provides no information about the gender of the victims. You don't know they are all men. 3) 400 is not the total of women killed. It is the number thought to be killed by this one perp or group of perps. Get it?

Start your own thread, then. BTW: Serial sex murders are not the same category as other killings.
