The philanthropic organisation, The Thomas Reuters Foundation, has released a list of the top 10 most dangerous countries for women, and Australia is not one of them. India gets top billing, followed in order of seriousness by Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Congo, Yemen, Nigeria and the United States. The survey repeats another TTRF survey in 2011, but with the addition of the U.S, the only Western country on the list.

In separate data, Australian men, although about 50% of the population, are the victims in two thirds of all murders in Australia. In fact, 79% of all homicide victims, globally, are men. In all countries, the rate of female victims is lower than that for males.

Perhaps the noisy feminists could take advantage of their safety and freedoms to involve themselves with the danger to their sisters overseas. Although that would involve, in most cases, confronting the fact that most danger to most women occurs in Islamic countries. Probably not a goer, then.

Never thought our place on a list in any way is the issue, this days SMH tells us 40 percent of murders in NSW are related to domestic violence, yesterdays murder of a mans own kids warns some men are no man much prefer to say once is too many times than pat our selves on the back because of a list

The only surprising thing about the list is that it's the USA, not Mexico, on it.

I'd no more expect Australia to be on that list than on the list of the ten wettest countries. But that doesn't mean we should ignore the issues.

If you want to talk about fathers killing their children, Belly, although that has nothing to do with the topic, you should be aware that biological mothers account for about 35% of all filicides (killing their own children to you) - about the same proportion as stepfathers and de factos - while biological fathers account for 29%.

Of course you are likely to ignore that too because of your self- loathing and anti- Australia attitude.

Try To Be Nice you have my pity, your world is a bleak place indeed, however you do not and never will, have the right to put words/thoughts/and opinions I do not hold in my mouth,your thread is nothing if not trying to blame women for being victims

ttbn,

You accuse Belly of "self-loathing and an anti-Australian attitude?"

This from a poster - whose posts absolutely drip with
love, respect, civility, and the Australian "Fair-Go?"

Yeah, right!
