"Women shld be cherished & protected by men' is not a yes or no. Do we have a right to this from every man by virtue of being female? No

-
Is it a lovely thing to be cherished & protected by men? Yes, provided it's the men you love back & feel equally loyal to & not smothering
-
This whole 'being protected' thing is made unnecessarily complicated & gendered & ideologically loaded. I am a fiercely protective person.
-
Of course, it is necessarily gendered in some ways. If I am under physical attack from a man, I'd probably need & appreciate male assistance
-
This has never happened tho. More often attacks on me are verbal & I am well armed to defend myself & others, male or female.
-
My husband once asked a stranger man to 'take it outside' in a pub coz he'd backed a woman into a corner & was yelling abuse in her face.
-
He felt the need to protect a woman he didn't know in a situation he didn't know simply coz he could & she was in danger & cowering.
-
Was this right or wrong. I tend to think to think it was right. I hope I'd try to stop a woman endangering a child at risk to myself.
-
Course removing the man from the pub non-violently would have been an even better response but he removed himself rather than fight so good.

You actually took it?
Oh, I love you. Don't care how you feel about me. 
-
Yes! Yes, I did. You're OK, I suppose. Bit annoying. :-p

You're just very hostile, Helen. I are a fenimist.
