Our thanks to Stu for a woeful recent piece in the Independent, once a fine newspaper, but for some years it’s been Guardian Lite. An extract:
The greatest number of femicides occurred within the London Metropolitan, South Wales and Greater Manchester police force areas. [J4MB: Hmm… within police force areas covering large populations. Inexplicable. Definitely a two pipe problem, as Sherlock Holmes would have said. I expect the BBC is working on an ‘update’ of the Conan Doyle Novels, featuring a black lesbian one-legged detective, Shirley Holmes.]
The figures have prompted a renewed call for more to be done to address fatal violence against women by men, and for ministers to “urgently” put the prevention of femicide at the centre of its work to combat male violence against women and girls. [J4MB: There’s clearly no need – “urgent” or otherwise – to be concerned about the fact that the victims of most murders, whether carried out by men or women, are men. Likewise, no need to be concerned about female violence against women, although lesbians are the demographic experiencing the highest rates of domestic violence.]
In light of the census, Katie Ghose, chief executive of Women’s Aid, said: “More needs to be done to address men’s fatal violence against women, as once again the Femicide Census reveals fatalities not as isolated incidents but as part of a repeated pattern of male violence against women. [J4MB: There are over 26.1 million women (18+) in the UK today. 113 women were killed by men last year. The chance of an individual woman being killed in the UK today, in the course of a year, is around one in 230,000. Ghose claims this shows ‘a repeated pattern of male violence against women’. Predictably she’s turning out to be as much of an odious liar as Polly Neate, her predecessor, currently ignoring male victims of homelessness at Shelter, a charity for the homeless. 90% of the street homeless are men.]
Justice for Men & Boys 
I too have learned to regard the domestic violence industry with a degree of scorn; not only are these murders punished to the full extent and ability of the law, but the numbers are tiny. Ghose can claim this shows ‘a repeated pattern of male violence against women’ but she is talking about a statistically insignificant handful (https://visual.ons.gov.uk/what-are-the-top-causes-of-death-by-age-and-gender/) of deaths in the scheme of things here in Britain. Why should I have to apologise for myself and my entire gender over a hundred men’s evil acts? Especially when the overwhelming majority of said men are going to be spending life in prison? Ghose is yet another feminist making impossible demands to satisfy her bank account and vindictive personality, something we reward far too highly in the modern West.

I wonder how many of these murders were committed by men who snapped after years of physical and/or emotional abuse, or whose ex-wives ruined their lives with the connivance of the family courts.

Very good question. Such actions (at least in response to infidelity, the #1 reason for men killing women) were treated as manslaughter, but after feminists in the legal system got their way it was treated as murder. While women killing their husbands was historically treated as murder, but now a defence – fabricated or otherwise – that he was violent towards her results in a charge of manslaughter. The double standard is nowhere more visible than in the criminal injustice system.
And I wonder how many husbands are murdered by other men, at the behest of their wives? I’ve always been convinced that proxy violence against men, at the behest of women, is far more common than is generally imagined.

Then of course you have the ‘mafia wives’ the Carmella Sopranos of this world, who are only too aware that their husbands are thieves and murderers but are happy to enjoy the material benefits that their crimes provide.
The female moral high ground is the lip of a volcano’s caldera- precarious and likely to blow up in their sanctimonious faces.
