I find it's usually men who say this tho in a kindly attempt to empathise with how it might feel to be a woman. It's how they would feel if they were suddenly so much weaker than so many people. It's how they do feel if surrounded by men much bigger than them. Women? Not so much. https://twitter.com/OlGingerBastard/status/954317245370519553 …

In certain situations & environments? Yes. If you've been a victim of violence before? Very likely. Generally, tho, in my experience, women do not go around routinely assessing their probability of winning a fight with the people they encounter. This is a male thing.

This is such an important observation, and you see it in other areas (and seems to be the cause of so much conflict): I conceptualize what life would be like using false assumptions from my own gender experience and don’t notice that my conceptualization is mistaken

Absolutely! This is why I want a rigorous Gender Studies that uses evolutionary psychology as well as cultural studies. So much misunderstanding could be avoided if we were allowed to look at cognitive & psychological gender differences.
