      Yes. I think this is to do with a perception that men should be able to defend themselves &so bear some responsibility if they fail to do so https://twitter.com/CallMeMisterD/status/909027586155544576 …

      Doesn't make sense ethically coz: a) There is no responsibility to be able to fight b) There will always be someone stronger/better armed

      Being able to fight lowers the number of people in b), and therefore has its advantages.

      Yes. Being able to fight is a precaution against becoming a victim of violence but should not be a responsibility. Big time commitment.

      Could be considered a responsibilty if one is counted on for protection. Was much more of a responsibilty at one time than now.

      Yes, priorities change. If we were in a war situation, men (and women) could think it their responsibility to spend time learning to fight.

      Yes, we can think of many situations where a man cld reasonably decide learning to fight was a major responsibility.

          Knowing how to defend yourself makes you less likely to be attacked, thus safer.
