I don't disagree with that, but I don't see how it goes against what I said either.

I specifically referenced femicide. Murdering a woman in a fit of rage is not by default a femicide.

Femicide is to kill a woman or girl specifically because she's a woman or a girl. That generally happens due to deep misogyny and patriarchal entitlement.

Simon's claim is that violence against women is due to sexual frustration. But as you so rightly pointed out, men are violent against other men too and by the numbers, more so with deaths in higher rates.

This is mostly due to patriarchal constructs too, which demands men compete against each other for status on the pyramid. It leads to violence.

It's all thr same thing though. That damned pyramid.

Women are supposed to be one of the prizes of high status. When a woman refuses, she has to be "corrected" and put back in her place or eliminated as a malfunctioning sub-human.

This is all subconscious, of course, but there it is. That's what happens.

Dominance hierarchy makes men violent. Not sexual frustration. Women would be just as violent if they held the dominance status.
