Police are already abysmal at actually documenting reported crimes. That's double so when it runs against the toxic reactionary attitudes common to these departments.
How so? They can both do 80%. This will increase the total number of crimes to 160% but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to pay to protect equality, the second amendment and the free world.
[Excuse me while I "mansplain"] But if women want to increase their violent crimes to match men's, they need to increase by an additional 300%. This would result in a total increase of violent crimes of 60% more violent crime.
C'mon girls! Try harder!
Do your part to achieve equality!
Then maybe men can cease being expected to open doors, put toilet seats down, put women and children first, die in wars, buy dinner and flowers, carry all the heavy things, fend off attackers, fix everything, [(quietly)] die younger, thrive without emotional support, be sole provider as a trad-hubby gentleman sigma-male feminist-ally bad-boy softie stoic emoting funny but only in a specific way and tall but not too tall and looking good with a six-pack without spending time working on it and whatever else in the cluster of impossible contradictions, alone.
If it helps at all, it's not entirely true, statistically, just very slightly funny when not explained. Men are like 75% of the victims in homicides and lead in other violent crimes, if my Googling is correct. Women do lead in other categories, though, so it's still competitive. I'm not trying to take anything away from anybody. But I also admit "borders on bad taste" is pretty much the line I walk.
You reminded me of a dead stupid subway sign I saw once, it was about the fact 1 in 4 homeless were women, which don't get me wrong everyone deserves a home, but it was so tone deaf in delivery it felt like unintentional parody
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.
Stats are valid when they are used in the proper context and are not being misrepresented. For example, Black and Native American people account for a disproportionate number of drowning deaths in the US. But it would be irresponsible to simply conclude that those groups are inherently bad swimmers. Just like the way the 13/50 trope is irresponsibly used to imply non-whites are inherently more prone to criminal behavior.
All that aside, this meme isn't attacking men. It's attacking sexist tropes used against women.
Statistics are just numbers. What matters is how they are used. Anyone who has studied stats knows that it's common to craft misleading conclusions from real data.
So long as they are helping the "downtrodden"* it's ok to see the numbers differently?
I have studied statistics. In my studies I learned that numbers do not lie, people lie. And, as was stated before, people can manipulate numbers to match their narrative.
I've seen studies published as "fact" just because the author manipulated the numbers to match their findings.
This is what we should base our outlook on?

"ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) and FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structure) are safety features integrated into heavy machinery to protect operators."
What do you mean? We're just describing what we see in the picture and how it compares to our lived experience.
Does your country have an osha or can people go to construction sites without hardhats, or do you have a regulating body but hardhats aren't required / the rules aren't enforced?
Saying OSHA is like saying Kleenex to us, we don't even realize it is a brand name. It has become the generic term in our en_us language anyway.
Sure it is a redundant protection but as a longtime journey level construction worker I can tell you you still have to wear a hard hat on construction sites anywhere on site
I know cal osha requires everyone at all times needs a hard hat on a construction site. I don’t work small private residential cal osha may be more strict on bigger jobs but it is an osha requirement here so I assumed it was a federal osha policy. I know it was definitely covered in my osha 10 and OSHA 30 courses. I was also an instructor for my trade union and this is what is taught in the nationwide union curriculum and yes any heavy equipment we use we have to wear a hard hat while operating nationwide In my trade.
I think the brand-newness of her clothes and hard hat, as well as full makeup, indicate that it’s a photo shoot and she is not actually an equipment operator.
I can just imagine it now. Me, in my little hard hat, on a big ol excavator, paying no mind to the ROPS/FOPS overhead, completely safe from all the debris that wants nothing more than to crack open my noggin, excavating to my hearts content!
I am just a 5’ honey badger waiting for my moment. Closest call was that time Jehovah witnesses peered into my car while I was alone at night outside of a store. Turns out they are easily frightened when you hold your car horn down long enough though.
We’re not a monolith but I am aware of some facts about us, like we’re statistically more likely to have shorter hair and take more dangerous jobs and commit violence—none of which offend me although the third one is incredibly disappointing.
I believe I can see where you’re coming from. That said I would be interested in reading a bit more about your perspective on why this meme attacks men. Thank ya
Yeah, (as I recall) that bigoted bias in USA gets even more damning when looking at the victim's demographics instead.
The Karens cry loudest, like they're the only victims, or like they're magnanimously mending the situation for everybody, when they're already the 1%ers of victim pride.
Lets take the worst black man in the world, and then apply his actions to the whole...
Lets take the worst woman in the world, and then apply her actions to the whole...
Lets take the worst... You get the idea. The lack of nuance in arguments is why a lot women think that men are all totally safe walking home at night. Worse, they think they are at great danger walking home at night, when the statistics say that they are in FAR more danger when they get home. And thats with underreporting of violence in the home.
I mean, men are also victims 81% of the time according to the UNODC. We get 100% of the blame for the crimes, but 0% of the outcry for being the victims of that crime. And everyone seems real fucking comfortable being bigoted as fuck when it comes to men. And the actual number is 91% of violent crimes is done by men, but the % of men that are violent criminals is between 0.3 and 0.6%. So 100% of men globally endure hate and bigotry because of the actions of less than 1% of the total. Does that sound like "punching up" to you?
Hush you. Men are supposed to just take it. Women and children first.
No emotional support for men. Keep the demands on them. Keep berating them for striving to meet those demands. Keep taking away their ability to support a family. Keep demanding them to. Keep judging men with the hasty generalisation fallacy, ignoring the statistical outliers. Keep men dying younger. Keep saying "patriarchy" like all men are all advantaged rulers. ;-}

In terms of frequency, women are significantly worse than men; men more damage per physical act of violence.
In terms of emotional and psychological violence, women are so far ahead of the race they disappeared over the horizon.

More like, want to have the same outcome as men at 80% of the effort.
Or am I making a shitty effort meme that mimics OP? If you're offended by this joke and not by OP, think of your own bias.
Agrivar@lemmy.world · 26 pts · 321d
OP is a lighthearted joke that punches up, whereas yours was the opposite. Maybe think about your own biases, jackass.

Don't women think it as a bit demeaning to think that they're universally and categorically below men when it comes to jokes?

how the fuck is attacking men punching "up"? Are men a monolith in your world?
parody@lemmings.world · 7 pts · 320d
We’re not a monolith but I am aware of some facts about us, like we’re statistically more likely to have shorter hair and take more dangerous jobs and commit violence—none of which offend me although the third one is incredibly disappointing.
I believe I can see where you’re coming from. That said I would be interested in reading a bit more about your perspective on why this meme attacks men. Thank ya

Replace "men" with just about any protected class, and this statistic with another one that reflezcts comparably on that group.
Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de · 5 pts · 320d
Yes! Black people are far more likely to go to prison in the US! We white people need to work on that!
Digit@lemmy.wtf · 2 pts · 320d
Yeah, (as I recall) that bigoted bias in USA gets even more damning when looking at the victim's demographics instead.
The Karens cry loudest, like they're the only victims, or like they're magnanimously mending the situation for everybody, when they're already the 1%ers of victim pride.

Lets take the worst black man in the world, and then apply his actions to the whole... Lets take the worst woman in the world, and then apply her actions to the whole... Lets take the worst... You get the idea. The lack of nuance in arguments is why a lot women think that men are all totally safe walking home at night. Worse, they think they are at great danger walking home at night, when the statistics say that they are in FAR more danger when they get home. And thats with underreporting of violence in the home.
I mean, men are also victims 81% of the time according to the UNODC. We get 100% of the blame for the crimes, but 0% of the outcry for being the victims of that crime. And everyone seems real fucking comfortable being bigoted as fuck when it comes to men. And the actual number is 91% of violent crimes is done by men, but the % of men that are violent criminals is between 0.3 and 0.6%. So 100% of men globally endure hate and bigotry because of the actions of less than 1% of the total. Does that sound like "punching up" to you?
Digit@lemmy.wtf · 6 pts · 320d
Hush you. Men are supposed to just take it. Women and children first.
No emotional support for men. Keep the demands on them. Keep berating them for striving to meet those demands. Keep taking away their ability to support a family. Keep demanding them to. Keep judging men with the hasty generalisation fallacy, ignoring the statistical outliers. Keep men dying younger. Keep saying "patriarchy" like all men are all advantaged rulers. ;-}

Is it really punching up though? The victim complex is part of the bias, jackass.
Although it might have been funnier to make it 20% effort.

teslasaur@lemmy.world · -17 pts · 321d

Studies have shown that males are jailed with 8:2 ratio compared to their female counterparts!
We demand equal prison female population for equal criminal efforts! Just because I'm a woman, does not make me an inferior criminal! lmao..!
RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz · 5 pts · 320d
Clearly this just shows bias towards sentencing men to prison smdh my head
MNByChoice@midwest.social · 8 pts · 320d
There is a lot of that happening. Pick a crime and look at the statistics.
Additionally, women are less likely to be charged for many crimes like domestic assault.

Not that you deserve an explanation, but i saw a tesla coil as a kid and thought it was the coolest thing in the world. That and dinosaurs. Mix them up, draw a couple of pictures in paint on Windows 3.1 and boom: Enter to the teslasaur. Dino that shoots lightning.
