You used that statistic in a back and forth, left this, right this, thread.

What I don't understand is what that had to do with the argument at the time.

It was in the Free Speech Rally thread in reply to Livia who, in the middle of a discussion about the threat of men to women, decided to bring up trans people (again) suggesting the "trans loving, woman hating gay men" don't actually care about women. She did this because she believes we can't care about women because we support trans women as in her opinion, trans women are a huge threat to non-trans women.

The stat you have mentioned was amongst other stats to remind people that woman are at risk from largely men then know and/or cis, straight men - this was illustrated by the various stats which were either relating to women being killed or attacked by partners, ex's or family, or stats that showed almost half the men who were arrested for protesting migrants last year had prior due to domestic violence.

My post aimed to highlight that women, by and large, are at a much, much, much great risk from their partners who often fall into the demographic on said march as evidenced by the domestic violence statistic, and not from trans women as Livia was (once again, and falsely) suggesting.

The mothers/sons stat was not being used to link any political party, no.
