Police association chief Dirk Peglow has stirred debate with his advice to women to avoid relationships with men for safety's sake. But his provocative tip is not without reason, as statistics show.
Per the statistics of violent behavior men should not be around other men.
Men are statistically more likely to be violent than all other groups defined by gender.
However, there are far better groupings of humans to use when it comes to predisposition for violence than “gender” (for example, “people espousing rightwing ideologies” display a higher tendency for violent behavior) and the thing that needs questioning here is why the German police association chief purposefully chose to use a grouping of humans with a lower correlation to violent behavior rather than one whose members are far more likely to engage in violent behavior, and the same questioning applies to the “journalist” that wrote the article.
This shit stinks of “stirring identitarianism to avoid pointing finger at certain specific groups”, kinda like how the same shit is relentlessly used in Neoliberal politics to distract people from the size, scope and effects of Wealth Inequality.
