I'll give you the link then.

Read all of it, and you'll see that I have taken a direct quote. Once again, feel free to retract your view at any time. People will think of you more highly for it, not less. We must always follow logic, even when we don't want to the most. Especially when we don't want to.

Given the current evidence, I agree that women overall are less prone to violent crimes than men. However, couldn't a person argue that this is only because women are currently socialized to be more submissive in most modern societies? If men and women were treated completely equally, might the crime rates in turn equalize? Perhaps many of the differences in behavior between males and females in society are a result of conditioning. As evidence for this, I'd need to cite links that show the male to female crime rates in very unequal countries as opposed to equal countries. Alas, I'm too lazy to do that right now, so I can't expect anyone to listen to me.
Aegrus, I understand that you're trying to mediate this since you think I'm going to lose. Look at the data yourself, or kindly exit.
(btw, for people wondering how I deduced that, we're friends)
