THE THING MEN KILL FOR

Researchers at the Centers for Disease Control studied over 10,000 female deaths in 18 states from 2003 to 2014 and found that 55 percent of them were related to disputes between intimate partners.

More than 98 percent of the women who were killed were said to have died at the hands of men.

A majority of them were under the age of 40, with 15 percent being pregnant or recently giving birth. Over 50 percent were shot to death.

When it comes to male murder victims, an estimated 5 to 7 percent were killed by intimate partners, according to earlier reports.

As for the overall murder count, black women were the most likely to be killed — followed by Native American women, Hispanics, whites, and Asians.
