Still a minuscule fraction of its androcide rate, but don’t expect people to give a shit
Not really following what’s going on in Italy, what is the rate of males killed by their ex-girlfriends?
Are we counting all the suicides due to the ex girlfriend’s actions, or the ones who die in situations instigated by women, like when she lies about something and the males in her family seek retribution? Those stats seem suspiciously absent from articles like these. Proxy violence is routinely ignored
If we’re going to advocate against domestic violence, we should include all its forms and not carefully gerrymander the definition
Female suicide, or the jealous ex killing a new partner, are not included either.
Domestic violence is a complex issue that “should” include, and address, a lot of cases that it currently doesn’t, but for some there is not even an idea on how to start addressing them… so I think it makes sense to tackle the obvious ones first: homicides.
Once we get that sorted out, with no more people thinking that “their” mate is “theirs” to do what they please with, like they do with “their” kids or “their” dogs, including putting them down whenever they wish… we might be able to get to the next issue.

On Wednesday, a court in eastern Germany, where Turetta, 21, had been arrested after his car broke down, said it had approved his extradition to Italy, where he will be taken into custody on arrival and questioned by an investigating judge.
Through both social media and interviews, Elena Cecchettin has linked her sister’s killing to the normalisation of toxic male behaviour, characterising those who commit femicides as the “children” of patriarchy and rape culture.
She also appeared to push back against the government’s request for schools to hold a minute of silence for her sister, calling instead for widespread sexual and emotional education and the financing of anti-violence centres.
The discovery of Cecchettin’s body also prompted comment from the prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, whose party was among those who abstained earlier this year as the EU voted to ratify a landmark international treaty aimed at preventing violence against women.
“Every single woman killed because she is ‘guilty’ of being free is an aberration that cannot be tolerated and that pushes me to continue on the path taken to stop this barbarity,” added Meloni, who last year became the country’s first female prime minister.
“In Italy we need to put an end to journalism that still emphasises the point of view of the murderer, explaining what motivated him to kill a woman,” said Menecali.
