Reminds me of that Donald Glover stand up routine from over a decade ago: "Guys have tons of crazy ex-girlfriend stories, but women don't have a lot of crazy ex stories. Because if their ex is crazy... they die"

Except that’s not really true.

It’s true women are more likely to be murdered by their partners, but the vast majority of even crazy men don’t kill their partners.

Imagine if they did. There are so many crazy men around that if they were killing their partners like that women wouldn’t only be 20% of homicide victims.

Many women have crazy boyfriend stories.

Then why mention it at all on a serious news article if it’s mostly BS?

are you new to reddit? you’d be extremely hard-pressed to find any thread with over 100 comments that doesn’t have a single joke, let alone one that is actually relevant to the subject of the post. “fact checking” a joke that is not meant to be taken literally, that no one is taking literally, is just dumb
