Just to clear up any confusion: I'm not here to delegitimize men's struggles. I'm just hoping that we can finally start legitimizing women's. Regardless of what you've decided about me, I'm not "anti-men". I am, however, super "pro-women". You should be too.

Okay, this might be true. I will reconsider. Certainly agree with your point about helicopter parenting.

I wouldn't want you to think women generally live their lives being afraid of men violently attacking them. I don't know anyone who does this. OK, we can get nervous if out late alone and there's 1 man walking behind us but so do men & we're statistically safer than men.

We barely notice as we’ve been taught that’s how life is. My mom used to say it’s wrong you can’t run by yourself at night. But it’s still not safe.
-
It depends where you live! You're still more likely to be attacked if you are a man tho, wherever you are. But I regularly walk by myself at night and go through London by myself at night. You can't stop living just in case you encounter a criminal. Well you can but what a waste.

Studies show that 1 in every 5 women experience a rape/sexual assault and 81% of women have experienced sexual harrassment. How are there fewer risks now? Keep in mind that some of those harrassments often feel like they could lead to an assault if we don't respond correctly.

Sexual violence continues to drop. I said this about it.pic.twitter.com/6rUsfpy4o5

Ah, I see. Well all I can say is how dare you, how dare you decide what level of trauma someone is allowed. I think you are missing the point of the whole current movement. I don't think you will ever get it. Honestly, how dare you.

That's in the fourth image.

In reality, while we could become victims of a violent crime, it is very unlikely and much less likely than if we were men. I certainly wouldn't want to be a man. The chances of me getting beaten up at least once in my life are quite high. As a woman, they're pretty low.
-
The being beaten up thing is something that crosses my mind every week if not every single day. Assault happens.

I have to watch my mouth when I’m with my husband because I know he’d get his assed kicked - not me.

I have had a similar thought when walking a female friend home or to catch her bus. I have to keep my mouth shut sometimes because I don't want to get curbstomped which would leave no one to walk her home or to her bus stop.

Good point. I've been wondering if this is an inverse of the Right's focus on law and order and we are experiencing a collective neuroticism about public safety. As always, it's pushed into a gendered space but ,as risk has decreased, so has female fear/annoyance at discomfort.
