Gender Statistics and Violence

Is Tumblr one of the last social media sites to let users post lists of sources without flagging it as spam or OfFeNsiVe? Let’s find out.

Background: Some guy in a YouTube video titled "Children Roast Polyamorous Women" by Think Before You Sleep, claimed that feminism, women getting rights, and the abolishment of forced gender roles is why the divorce rate is high and that marriages are "ruined". I commented saying that it might actually be because men are statistically more likely to abuse, cheat, abandon, etc. User Polydopamine replied t my comment: "Procure the statistics that men are more likely to abuse, cheat, and abandon. I can procure actual studies that confirm that domestic violence is 50-50, and in some cases (like Australia), women are leading in domestic abuse and that women initiate over 80% of divorce fillings. How is doubling the workforce good for the economy, when wages are slashed in half with the doubling of the supply? Genuinely interested. How come homeownership has plummeted, median household income has plummeted against inflation and normalized PPP, and single-parent households have quadrupled, leading to an increase in teen incarceration, and decreased educational outcomes for the children involved? I am sure you are not just parroting feminist drivel and you can provide me with sources and citations, right? Surely."

I tried to link him my sources but YouTube kept auto-removing them. I tried just listing the links, I tried taking out the "." in the links and replacing them with "(dot)", I tried making a Carrd with the sources, I tried using PasteBin, I tried just using the text sources without the links, and everything gets butchered! It all either gets automatically removed within a second, flagged as spam, or doesn’t let me publish it at all!! 

So, Polydopamine, here are my sources for you:

But yeah, men being more likely to be violent, abusive, cheaty, and scummy than women is totally woman’s faults!!!! Men are violent because it’s unfair that women get to be seen as human beings and have human rights!!!1!1!1!!

Edit: I tried to tell him to go here for the sources by saying “tumblr period com slash citingmysources but YouTube even removed that!!! So I tried to edit my original comment and said “tumm blur” instead but then YouTube removed that comment! I reposted my comment but idk if Polydopamine will ever see it. Or it may just get removed again! Why has YouTube started sucking so bad :( I just wanna have a debate and cite my sources wtf
