I engaged primarily in arguments of fact. I did my best to cite sources and outline rational arguments. I was immediately condescended to, insulted, and slandered as racist and a liar. I admit I got testy in response, but you can see that I

Yes, they do. Here's why: No one believes that since most imprisoned murderers are men, there's systemic anti-male bias in the justice system. The relevant biological differences between sexes are acknowledged and accepted. I'

It does not. Americans have a median income roughly 10% higher than Germans, far more guns per capita than Germans, and nearly 40% of male homicide suspects in Germany are non-German in any case: https://www.statista.com/sta
