How to respond to "men commit 90% of violent crimes, so it's okay to treat them differently"?

They site some stats which claims 95% of violent crimes are done by men. But is that good enough to discriminate against men? According to them, if we commit more crime, it's okay to discriminate against us and treat each of us as potential risk factors.

Was wondering, how to respond to this.

Wife is extremely hot tempered and I am in dilemma whether to leave or not. Newly married.

Throwaway account. My wife is an extremely problematic person. She snaps really quick over anything that doesn't go as she wants it. She screams and swears at me with extremely questionable things, I am even starting to question whether she loves me or not. I didn't know all these before marriage. We had talked for about 4-5 months. But the reason I can't leave her is because her father is a great man, who had helped me a lot in so many points in my life. He has done a lot for me and was a friend of my father. These things were seperate. But later, when my parents were searching for someone, mom proposed her name and it kind of felt like a safe choice to marry into a family that I already know. And now here I am... She is the type of person who wants everything to be done as she wants. She doesn't listen to me or respect my wishes. She has also been violent quite a number of times, I admit I was at some faults some times but I have never raised my hand. When I accidentally broke a glassware or when I didn't want to go the spot she had planned, she had slapped me, pulled my hair. On another occasion she had broken my glasses too by trying to hit me. These things are making me rethink whether she even genuinely cares for me. Dont get me wrong, she isn't doing these everyday but it has happened so many times that I can't say these are rare. She can be a very sweet person but for anything that she doesn't like she acts like this. I am confused. Now, both of our parents want us to be married. They think these are minor things partly because I haven't told them everything about all she does. And I feel a sense of duty to my fil so I can't just divorce even if I wanted to. We are married for 8 months, after the 5 months if talking.

How do I say these to them, without sounding like a bad person? What should I do?
