Socities protect and build, as well as harm and destroy

Statistics of harm and destruction are always going to alarm people until we get to a utopia

A preference of being in a less harmful and destructive society is probably normal and not controversial

....
Someone being grateful they are in a less harmful society rather than a more harmful one is so obvious it goes without saying

Problem comes when you DO say it

Its distasteful especially with the GBV element coz from a womans perspective every dude is a potential killer/raper
So from that perspective when you say

"women should be grateful they arent experiencing a higher likelihood of encountering a raper/killer here than they are there"

It comes off threatening given the topic and also callous and unempathetic
I dont think dude was endorsing rape or murder

But he doesnt have his thoughts together to speak intelligently about it, so he's going to get the smoke

Best case scenario he learns to think before he speaks about such a sensitive issue
