Darleen, your statistics are a complete non sequitor, so yes, I’ll dispute it.
You say that 3 percent of men who are murdered are murdered by their spouses and one third of women who are murdered are murdered by their spouses.
So if 100 men are murdered, 3 will have been murdered by their spouses. If 9 women are murdered, 3 will have been murdered by their spouses. See the problem with your stats?
The relevant statistic would be: Of all people who are murdered by spouses, what percentage are men and what percentage are women?
