Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
Posts with little-to-no context
Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
"Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")

Rules:

Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
No bigotry of any kind.
Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Exactly, and that's why more men than women die at the hands of their partners. (/s, if it's not obvious)

Of course it's unacceptable for women to hurt men, but please, let's not reverse the problem.

Both sexes participate in intimate partner violence at rates close-ish to parity (it's something like a 60/40 split). Interestingly, despite the social narrative that IPV is all men's fault, gay male relationships have less of it than straight ones, and lesbian relationships have more.

Studies and statistics based on arrests, convictions, or other interactions with law enforcement are really bad at identifying female perpetrated IPV because often law enforcement ignores IPV perpetrated by a woman. It's fallout from training built on the Duluth model that's been around forever. When you build policy and training around something and that something is shown not to be accurate the training and policy doesn't just go away.
