How common is getting murdered for saying no to a man’s advances?

[–] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz -1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

I'm going to assume you're asking in good faith even though you could have just googled "woman killed for rejecting man" (or something similar) yourself to find that out, but here's the top results for that query – meaning that these are absolutely not the only cases but just the top ones on the first page of the results:

Naturally you can claim they're lies, or exaggerations etc., but it really should be clear that this is a common phenomenon.

How many articles can you find to support the claim that men routinely get sexual harrassment charges for rejecting a woman's advances? And do you think it's comparable to getting literally murdered? And note that this is just the murders: other forms of abuse after rejection are also common

to be fair, nothing you just did was actually make a case for how common it is, you just pointed out that mass media exists in the modern day and age, by that logic I, as a disabled person, should never leave my house
