The highest risk of death from a type of human being

There are many ways we demark our differences. Colour (because it's
often colour rather than ethnicity which is why black coloured people
are called "afrocaribbean" - those are two different cultures yet the
people are the same colour), gender (don't even get me started on how
complex this is) and mental phenotype.

There is a fear of mad people. A fear that isn't justified. The fear
should be based on the risk to the individual, i.e. how likely is it a
mad person is going to kill me? A psychiatrist has likened this risk to
the same as being hit by lightning. I think that's an exaggeration but I
get the point.

The group that represents the highest risk of being murder by....is men.
Go look at any statistics - I know this is asking to look at evidence
and many people prefer to use evidence to inform their prejudices so
it's probably pointless - but just go look. Men commit the most murders.
It's several times the rate of the mentally ill. The mentally ill are
too busy killing themselves to get round to hurting anyone, but there
are a few exceptions of course.

Someone might fear going on a date with a mentally ill person for fear
of the risk of death. The dating scene would rapidly collapse if
understood the risks statistically. But if they did it wouldn't -
because everyone knows that almost everyone they know who's been on a
date hasn't been killed. If you argue the fear of death, then the fear
should be men rather than any other group. It certainly shouldn't be the
mentally ill. The majority are so passive and internalise their
suffering tsuch hat they'd kill themselves rather than hurt a fly.
