To be clear, someone else did.
The fact that someone answered to "actually males are more likely to experience violence" with "eh, but go look who does that violence" prompted my comment.
And it almost sounds like somehow the focus switched from the victim to the cause, when the victims are men. This is the cause why I decided to comment. Almost like violence and protection of who experiences matters depending on who is experiencing it, as if there would be any difference from a woman or a man experiencing violence, whether it is from a man or a woman.
If this is your argument, it is a weak one, because I specifically commented in a child thread about this very topic, in response to a very dismissive comment (from my POV). There is no conversation that I am hijacking nor it was me who brought up violence on men on the first place.
Thankfully neither happened.
I'd like to make a longer response but something here at work blew up, so I'll just say fair. I don't completely agree that there wasn't some sort of derailing, but you weren't the one who did it, and it can be argued the top level comment was the reason for it anyway.
