I mean jokes are fine but this kinda borders on bad taste

If it helps at all, it's not entirely true, statistically, just very slightly funny when not explained. Men are like 75% of the victims in homicides and lead in other violent crimes, if my Googling is correct. Women do lead in other categories, though, so it's still competitive. I'm not trying to take anything away from anybody. But I also admit "borders on bad taste" is pretty much the line I walk.

You reminded me of a dead stupid subway sign I saw once, it was about the fact 1 in 4 homeless were women, which don't get me wrong everyone deserves a home, but it was so tone deaf in delivery it felt like unintentional parody
