I mean, yes, on a global scale, femicide, the specific homicide of a woman, because they are a woman, is a serious, persistent problem.

But... in... economically developed, generally more wealthy and stable countries?

Much less so, broadly.

Again, none of this data is perfect, there are a lot of gaps, but its probably reasonably accurate as a starting point.

Paraguay: ~19 / 100,000

Central African Republic & Antigua and Barbados: ~10 / 100,000

Jamaica & South Africa: ~9 / 100,000

Compare that to:

US: ~3 / 100,000

Mexico: ~6 / 100,000

Canada: ~1 / 100,000

Thats all femicides, out of 100,000 women, per year.

So... in the US... a man is more likely to just be murdered, for any reason ( ~ 9 / 100,000 men ) than a woman is, for any reason ( ~ 2.5 / 100,000 women ).

A US Man is also more likely to be just murdered for any reason than a woman is to be specifically femicided ( 9 vs 3 out of 100k ).

Something like ~90% to 80% of women who are killed, who are homicided, are killed by someone they know well, often an intimate partner, which often is a femicide...

... But a guy randomly, awkwardly failing at flirting or just communicating with a woman... is what the stats categorize as a stranger, not an intimate partner, family member, etc.

So... the idea that random men who approach women are... likely to homicide them?

Basically no, if anything its the sort of relationship opposite, statistically, women need to worry about the men they're already in substantial relationships with, more so than a rando they've never met before...

... as women are homicided by strangers far, far less than men are.

IPV is a signifcant proprotion of violence done to women in the US, but its a significant proportion of ... just a smaller pie chart, than the amount of violence done to men, if we're going by violence = murder.

But... how often are men homicided by women strangers?

I genuinely have no idea.

Like I said, I can find 'men killed by strangers' but not 'men killed by strangers who are women'.

I don't know if that data exists, in a readily available format... theoretically I could try to do my own comprehensive meta analysis of existing data sets, but normally people get paid to do that level of research, lol.

Women who are homicided in the US are more likely to specifically be femicided, killed because they are a woman... but again, thats mostly from established existing partners, not randos... and they're also just about 2.5x less likely than men to be murdered, for any reason.

I honestly don't think anyone even bothers to study or keep data on 'androcide', the specific killing of a man because he is a man, a man killed by a woman he is in a substantial relationship with.

That's what I mean by... there's no data specific enough to attempt to actually answer your question, which I guess could also be roughly approximated as 'what are femicide rates vs androcide rates?'
