Men also appear more prone to use violence in seeking revenge while "women tend to view murder as a last resort," he said.

I don't know about that last as stated. Women tend to kill fewer people personally, but if we factor in the women who insigate killings by their boyfriends/hired thugs I suspect the number that view murder as something other than a last resort would even out.

If I only had a brain...

Women tend to kill fewer people personally, but if we factor in the women who insigate killings by their boyfriends/hired thugs I suspect the number that view murder as something other than a last resort would even out.

But what about all the men who instigate killings by hired thugs? You have to compare two comparable quantities:

men who murder + men who hire murderers vs. women who murder + women who hire murderers.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Am home now because I had a dentist appointment at 2 and figured it was silly to go back to work afterwards.

I should be much more exhausted than I am since I've slept quite poorly the last few nights.(panic attacks or something similar triggered by meds, I think)
