Around 30,000, or 34 percent, were committed by intimate partners alone.

“This amounts to some six women being killed every hour by people they know,” the Vienna-based body said.

Did they reveal the religious orientation of the killers? There is one particular religious culture that fancies cruelty to women.

Who’s more dangerous for the child

A man in the household

Or a woman

It’s like the connection of homosexuality with pederast indulgence

Truths that shan’t be mentioned

Rape culture meh

The statistics defy what the media purports as truth

So if all women moved out and lived with strangers, would the number of murders go down?

The Founding Fathers were pro-family. Their standard did not allow the family situation to become oppressive to fathers, as the “equality”-preaching anti-family Marxists do.
