AITK for calling out an infographic that compared men to venomous snakes, even though I agree with the statistics?

I consider myself a feminist and I completely acknowledge that violence against women is a horrific, systemic issue. But I recently got into an argument on this subreddit because I called out a specific post for karma farming, ragebait and fueling gender wars

Edit: i actually checked their WHO source and the math is rigged. the snake stat is annual (1 year) but the 1 in 3 stat is lifetime (80 years). comparing annual odds to lifetime odds is a massive statistical fallacy meant to spark outrage. also, the 1 in 3 stat includes female-on-female violence, yet they used it to compare only men to snakes. pointing out this fake math is what got me called 'low on brains.
