"Greater intelligence" I disagree wholeheartedly, Fry having produced nothing to prove that. but I'mma try not to argue on the web

Depends on the firearm and object you'd be getting stabbed by.
Of course of course, but my statement is still accurate unless you go out of your way to set up an unusual statistically unlikely scenario.
.22 rifles and pistols are incredible common. So are Kabars and Kukris. Any would kill you if used correctly.
But a comparison of stabbing incidents to shooting incidents will lead to more deaths with Shooting incidents. Come on...
MrJoeGGriffiths
And the location of the wound.
Pandaphilophobe
Not actually true. GSWs are generally less lethal than legitimate knife wounds. Knives do a huge amount of damage.
A) They said "Stabbed" not "Knife" B) Wiki on Stab wound shows in the UK a mortality rate of 0-4% so do you have alternative evidence?
Colloquially ¨get stabbed¨ implies a knife. As for lethality, flesh contracts around a knife stab or slash compounding the damage
A 1/4 inch box cutter can create a half-inch or deeper cut very easily. 3- or 4-inch blades can easily reach vulnerable organs, etc.
But you aren't comparing it to anything! Gun shot wounds are high velocity with less 'smooth' cuts. Thus, more lethal. Do you have Evidence?

DoctorCatDog
Nothing is WRONG with the list. As someone else said, there are fewer commentaries on life written by women. There will be soon, but not yet
That not even close to true. There have always been great women. They're just been shoves aside. We can give them their due.
Also true. Most of the men on this list have great female equivalents in their era and location.
I'm not saying there has not always been good women leaders but its not untrue that history made less of an effort to revere their opinions.
