Lorne ,'Why We Fight'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
men who murder + men who hire murderers vs. women who murder + women who hire murderers
First new hit show for the CW
what about women who manipulate other people into killing for them? like boyfriends or [whatever the word for a male mistress is. mister?].
like boyfriends or [whatever the word for a male mistress is. mister?]
Sucker. Patsy. Stooge. Chump. Take your pick.
Mug. Rube. Fred MacMurrary.
I could do this all day!
[whatever the word for a male mistress is. mister?].
Gigolo. Piece of ass. Himbo. Garden boy. Chewtoy.
Fred MacMurrary
Only if the woman looks like Barbara Stanwyck.
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.
