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.

This seems strange to me. Do you really perceive a society which focuses more on men's issues than women's ones? It seems very clear to me that feminism has a lot more power & influence than men's rights activism. (I disagree with both approaches, btw)

What's strange about her pointing out the imbalance in (scary) difficulties women face that men often aren't aware of or acknowledge? Do you really think that feminism is more powerful an influence on people's lives than the male-dominated societies it criticizes?

I'm not talking about male dominated societies and I don't think she is either. Talking about the US and the UK and yes, here I think there is much more attention on women's issues than men's. This kind of thing:pic.twitter.com/ZaorncaAzp

1. Ok, thanks for responding. Hate to quibble with you (big fan of your writing), but I heard her song as pointing out that women are kind of scared a lot in ways that men don't really ever think about. I honestly think most men don't know this, still.

I honestly don't think women are scared in lots of ways, generally. This is what I have seen most of my female tweeps responding to this anyway. It made me wonder if it works on the same principle as helicopter parenting.

Because there are fewer risks now, we tend to focus on very unlikely things that could happen and overprotect. eg kids not allowed to walk to park and play alone coz kidnap possible. Some women saying theyre scared to open their front door coz could be a home invading rapist.

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.

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.
