    That is argument of popular which is fallacy and doesn’t address the argument at all. Just cuz something isn’t in the news Doesn’t mean it’s a safe world. Just doesn’t mean an event is popular to listen to. Much rape reporting doesn’t get televised because of it being so common. Just cuz something isn’t newsworthy doesn’t mean it’s still not wrong and getting unfairly dismissed

      Yes, that’s what I said. It is reported about, meaning it’s news-worthy and probably rare. Like the murders mentioned in the cartoon. Rejected men usually don’t kill people.

      Of course that doesn’t work as well for rape because of the many cases that never get reported. It’s much harder to keep a murder out of the statistics though.
