[–] girlfreddy@mastodon.social 1 point 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (1 child) @AngryCommieKender Thank you for the apology. It's appreciated. Statistics for rape conclude that 10% of the world's female population are raped, which equates to about 400,000,000 girls and women. Stats on male rape are fairly non-existent (from a PDF here https://www.equalitynow.org/resource/the-worlds-shame-the-global-rape-epidemic/). That's 400x the amount of people killed by mosquitoes. edit to correct numbers permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago* (1 child) No it isn't. That's 400,000,000 total, not per year. The total number of humans killed by mosquitos is in the billions. Mosquitoes have killed more of us than anything else including us and war Oh, and that million+ per year is way down. Before we figured out how to cure malaria it was tens to hundreds of millions of humans per year. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] girlfreddy@mastodon.social 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) @AngryCommieKender It would take 400 years for mosquitoes to kill as many people as rape has affected. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago* Only at today's death rate. Prior to malaria being cured it would have taken 4 years to 40. PS. They've been at it for 250,000 years the death toll isn't even close. You're arguing in bad faith. permalink fedilink source parent
