Getting shot, stabbed, robbed, beaten, choked, ganged up on, sexually assaulted. Weird, the exact same list that women have to fear.
Oh except men also have to worry about being falsely accused of sexual misconduct, having their names put on the sex offender registry and the entire rest of their lives ruined because no one will believe them.
Choosing the gender of the driver won't give men any more safety, but it will make a lot of difference for women.
Lmao this is just categorically false, and there's so much fucking data to prove it. I've never once felt threatened that a woman would do any of these things to me, but I definitely have feltoke other men would.
While is sadly true, it's so much less common than sexual misconduct happening to women. It's so rare in fact that this has never been a fear of mine because I treat every person I meet with respect and I know for a fact that I'm not a creep. Same goes for all of my male friends. If you have a fear that this may happen to you, I think you need to reassess how you interact with women. I would be willing to bet that things you do to women you see as innocent flirting or something when in reality it makes those women extremely uncomfortable.
"Lmao this is just categorically false" I'm sorry, are you saying women are incapable of wielding a knife? Or pulling a trigger on a gun?
"I've never once felt threatened that a woman would do any of these things" Oh well if you personally have never experienced such a thing, it must not ever happen to anyone.
/S
You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Just fuck off.
Have you looked up how little this happens to men compared to women? Unprovoked, it's almost non-existent. Again, if you're being threatening to women then I'm not surprised this happens to you.
Your attempts at attacking my character only demonstrate how incapable you are of making a genuine point.
Ummm excuse me I have never felt threatened by a man, so why are women complaining?
Also, are you going to use 13/90 as an excuse to be racist too?
Wait are seriously asking that?
"Too" as in sexist? Why is it sexist to point out the reality that women are disproportionately violently assaulted by men than men are by women? And what does that have to do with race?
