Because cutting out even more aspects of the total population drowns out how crazy the stat is to begin with. You could easily be turned on doing this when women say “men commit 95% of murders, I guess we should ban all men.” It’s just better to keep it simple with 1350.

I still don't understand how saying "7%" is worse than saying "13%." If anything, it emphasizes how small a portion of the population is committing the overwhelming majority of violent crimes.

And I doubt it's as low as "50%" of murders.

If you get filtered by a woman saying such a line, that's a reflection of poor preparation, not of the cunt having a valid point.

Statistics are more damning when they are broad. When you start cutting down by sex, age etc. it loses its edge.
