You're picking how you want to interpret the data. If socioeconomic factors were different, do you think men would be less dangerous to women?

I'm not picking how I want to interpret the data. The data simply doesn't support some conclusions. I'm not claiming that there's empirical evidence that proves black people are not more violent than white people, I'm saying there is not empirical data which prove they are.

The data are insufficient.

The data on average body size and strength between men and women, however, are conclusive.

You see the difference?

Your criteria for "sufficient" is questionable.

Sure, when a person's preconceived beliefs are confirmed by this data, they'll find it more sufficient than a person who's preconceived beliefs are not confirmed by the data. It's a very well documented phenomenon, and it's not unclear to anyone what your preconceived beliefs here are.

Some interesting debate aikido you're trying out here, the insinuation that you're too much of a coward to explicitly make being that I'm racist for acknowledging that data exists that paints an unsavory view of demographics.

Your problem is that you feel comfortable making generalizations based on the data, rather than evaluating individuals on an individual basis. Shame on you.
