It's an epidemic.
Men are "disposing" of wives, ex-wives, girlfriends, ex-girlfriends at the slightest hint of turmoil.or bother
Men are snatchin up, abusing and dumping [anonymos] women at an alarming rate.
Men are snatchin up, abusing and dumping [anonymos] children at an alarming rate.
---(anonymos: unknown and unrelated to them)
What causes this increase in killing?
Can it be stopped?.....or atleast decreased?
-----------------
or should I just shut up and go away?

Well you could supply some data to support your supposition and don't forget to include any of the above that is perpetrated by women. There is guilt enough to go around the gender circle.

LOL, should I match this rant phrase by phrase with one about the trashy women my brother has dated? LOL
I could also add a list of incidents of child abuse by the mother that I have seen, if ya want. Of course I would rather not because even thinking about it sickens me all over again.

Hate to point this out to you, Shey-but there was no basis supplied for who is killing who, where.
There was no ignorance-if someone starts a thread, they should let posters know where they're coming from.

I agree that it goes all the way around the gender curve and is just as bad no matter how it happens, or to whom.
But I'd like to see the OP elaborate a little more about specifics from his perspective.

Oh I am not pleading ignorance at all. I am aware of the multitude of atrocities that are happening all over the world. And I also know that most of them are perpetrated by men. I was just making sure that everyone knows that even though the majority are men they are not just men.
You know in most countries outside of Europe and North America it is common for the man to be dominant in every way and that includes physical violence against anyone in his family that he deems deserving. Now we know that is not right but that is the way it is. Those of us that do know, do what we can but that is not much even if you were to go to these places. Personally I can't understand how anyone gets pleasure out of destruction of any living thing. Sometimes it is necessary to kill in this crazy world but to enjoy it is sick. To do it just because you want to get rid of your spouse and get a new one is so disgustingly sick I don't even have words to describe it.
Now with that said I can only pray that God will illuminate these dark minds. And I am sure others are doing what ever they can. I think if you try to force reason on these multitudes it will only bring more violence. So what is a really good solution for all? I have no idea. But believe me Sheyenne I know there is a problem around the world.

You need to check your facts. When it comes to child abuse, most physical and emotional abuse is done by women, the mothers. Most, but not all sexual abuse is done by men, but since the amount of physical and emotional abuse is many times the amount of sexual abuse, most child abuse is done by women.
Here's a link with the facts to backup what I say...

Well sir you need to check yours on a worldwide level. Abuse across the globe for the majority is perpetrated by men against women. This is well documented. And in many countries it is legal for a man to beat his wife to death. That is what the op was talking about and what I was responding to. Not just abuse but murder as well. You are mistaken.
The numbers are staggering. Here are just a few of the
statistics. It's estimated that from one to two million women and
children are trafficked each year.
Horrific abuse
There is one item for you. There are scads of others. And even more unreported. If you have never been to a third world country or don't know very many people in any I recommend that you get out a little more or find some people overseas to talk to. There is so much disgusting stuff going on that no one knows about you would not believe it.
I have checked my facts, have you? This is being discussed on a world wide scale not just in the USA. There are no cut and dried world wide statistics. You have to dig deeper for that and much of it is hidden or unreported. Go take a look for yourself.

OP:
or should I just shut up and go away? ...Unless you could provide some basis, some starting point for your statements as being fact in what area, what country, what culture, etc., your title was just that; a statement with no relevance.
Sheyenne:
Sealacamp....check out Amnesty Internationals web site then check out India to name one...peruse to the various Muslim dominaint countries and don't over looking Africa as one. Your too bright of a man to plead such ignorance let alone attempt to turn the tables. ...Shilo, if we are considering the total 7 Billion populace of the world, specifically about 3 billion from your choices above, this could be an endless endeavor.
...The injustices, the inequities from all facets would be overwhelming for any one individual to digest and needs to be narrowed down by the OP.
Touch:
Here's a link with the facts to backup what I say... ...That was an interesting link! ... thanks

As to the number of which sexes are being attatcked:
Every two and a half minutes, somewhere in America, someone is sexually assaulted.
One in six American women are victims of sexual assault, and one in 33 men.
In 2004-2005, there were an average annual 200,780 victims of rape, attempted rape or sexual assault.
=============================================
2005 Statistics
In 2005, there were 191,670 victims of rape, attempted rape or sexual assaults according to the 2005 National Crime Victimization Survey (PDF, 287KB).
Of the average annual 200,780 victims in 2004-2005, about 64,080 were victims of completed rape, 51,500 were victims of attempted rape, and 85,210 were victims of sexual assault.
Because of the methodology of the National Crime Victimization Survey, these figures do not include victims 12 or younger. While there are no reliable annual surveys of sexual assaults on children, (PDF, 37KB) the Justice Department has estimated that one of six victims are under age 12.

...Alright, so it is narrowed it down to female rape victims in the U.S.
...How about the thousands of male rape victims while incarcerated or otherwise, that is never reported?

Errr, Gemini, those rapes are generally men as aggressors as well as victims, so your point?

East:

...That is hardly the case; there are aggressors and their are victims for both genders, no matter where they are. It is the method of reporting that gives some accountability and all studies retain a certain percentage that are not divulged.

No numbers here but this is interesting. I don't totally agree with east as she is usually out to lunch on most of what she says. But rape in jails is a common unaddressed problem. Or maybe it is not a problem. I guess that would depend on a persons point of view.
Mine is that many people that are in jail should not even be there. Some are jailed and should not even be left on this earth. And others that should be in jail are still stalking you and me on the streets of the USA.
Here is a link to some jail stories.

Why is it so easy for ANY man to do violence on women or children??
It's sort of expected between men

I really don't see this as a gender issue, or it being any easier or more expected from one or the other. I have known more women who were snipish and looking to cause drama and pain than I have men. Abuse comes in many forms. And have you ever seen the series "Snapped"? Just women who have killed. Maybe I just run with a bunch of mellow jumbo dumbos LOL (yeah, I am so small that is my pet name for these 6'+ guys, they don't mind).
