That doesn’t tell much, the important stat is how big of a risk is there that a given person will be abducted at all. Obviously 73% sounds horrifying but 73% of what percentage of the population? Who’s doing the abducting? Are there other factors that increase your risk bf being abducted?
Okay, but how big of a risk is there for actually being abducted. How many people total out of a given population are victims? Are there other factors like primarily family members, or location based or things like that? Just knowing that most abductees are women doesn’t really tell you how concerned women need to be about this. Not arguing for or against the idea, I don’t have the data. Just saying the stat you’re using by itself isn’t valuable.
I’m willing to bet those male murder statistics are just related to gang activity. That’s not a huge part of the general population. 99.999999% of men are probably pretty safe to walk around outside alone and not get bothered or noticed at all.
This is peak boomer, “well I did this and I’m okay” energy.
Your experiences do not erase the statistics of women’s issues.

73% of abductions are females. Therefore 27% of abductions are male.
100 % of lightning victims are people.
And 50% of my phalanges are on my left side.

Okay. Murder victims are predominantly male (~3/4) aged 30 or younger.
So if what you both say is true, women are more likely to be abducted, men are more likely to be murdered.
Yeah, exactly. The difference is that men don’t let it control whether or not they go outside.

US bias? :)
It’s roughly the same everywhere in the West. Similar to sexual assault that targets women, the victim and perpetrator almost always know each other.
But yeah, while many men have been harassed at some point, very few have been violently robbed, beaten or murdered.
