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)

From Gud's link: I've forgotten my stats terms, but on the two charts the difference between the min and the max for the women's numbers is very low, resulting in a fairly smooth line across the graph. Isn't there a term for that?

Anyway, I find it interesting that it's pretty much the same for women both as offenders and victims.
