If women killed men at the rate men kill women

Women would not be able to:

vote
own any kind of weapon
drive
leave the house unescorted
supervise children
teach at any level
work in the medical profession

feel free to add your conclusions

This was triggered by the latest domestic violence incident in Virginia.....

The husband who drugged his wife so people could rape her.

He used a secret website available exclusively in a very small geographic area. He wanted men who could show up with only 2 or 3 hours notice. 50 men were identified in the videos and were prosecuted. Scores more couldn't be identified.
