- An interesting mixture. Especially number 9. I can see that as

- #13 is pure propaganda with little basis in fact that I've found. Violent
- crime has not been increasing at any sort of 'epidemic' rate. Furthermore,
- when one actually looks, the victims of most crimes have been and continue to
- be men. (Also, as I have pointed out a few time, men are over-represented in
- prison, or women under-represented, for the crimes they commit.)

- There's been a lot more *publicity* about crimes against women -
- but that doesn't mean it really happens as much as it's touted. One of the
- sorrier examples (IMO) of fairly-recent media hype.
