I was going to ask about that. I wonder if men are more likely to be killed by current or former “partners,” or by other people.

The prior question is how much difference is there between the probability of a woman being killed and the probability that a man will be killed. And I think that will be heavily stacked in “favor” of the man. If (reasonable guess) a man is five times more likely to be killed, the answer to your question could be that men are far more likely to be killed by someone other than a spouse - and yet his likelihood of being killed by his spouse could still be greater than a wife’s likelihood of being killed by her husband.

IMHO age needs to be factored in, heavily. The article seems to be wanting to strain at “gender” gnats, and swallow race/age camels. Without having gone to the source in this thread.
