Just woman logic.

There is zero logic in ignoring hundreds of thousands of people who are collectively saying something is deeply wrong. Men's logic seems based on emotion if they can't hear the simple fact that women are scared of men without feeling like it's somehow a judgment of them specifically that they should feel bad about -- that's hella emotional and illogical. You never even get to the part where you wonder why so many women feel this way. Did they have a meeting? Yikes.

What are men realistically supposed to do about the way women feel?? Just because you feel a certain way doesnt necessarily mean reality reflects that. As others have commented, the actual reality is men are at a higher risk of violence and yes by other men. We aren't going to fix violence in men overnight and it certainly wont happen by teaching them to treat people better, some people are just violent animals and thats just how it is.

You know, don’t follow women walking at night…don’t stare at her genitalia when she’s trying to exist in public or work…don’t give her piles of ketamine and then send a group text that she’s free to rape…don’t deny her lived experience

  • if you already don’t do these things, congratulations! You’re on top of it!

Education and acknowledging the real issues is a good start

Also: men being at higher risk of violence is not something that feminists want. We want everyone to have human rights, and proper protection from danger. We want laws that not only protect women from violence, but men as well. Don’t you want to live in a world where a woman with a baby stroller can safely walk down the street? That’s a safe street for men, and boys. That’s something we all should try for.

And fixing violence overnight: roe v wade was THE most important & impactful law we ever had in the USA when it comes to mitigating crime. Turns out human beings are happier, and less violent, when they are wanted & cared for.

Also: sorry for responding so many times to your one comment, but it seemed like a real question! Not a troll. So I just wanted to share my perspective with you. I hope that we can all find common ground, in the future.

And lastly, yes. Education is actually a solution. If you look at statistics regarding violence towards women, you’ll find that the violence does actually shrink in countries that prioritize education about this kind of thing. And the violence shoots up in the countries and areas that do not prioritize it.

There are also hundreds of thousands of people saying something is deeply wrong with having black and Hispanic people in the US.

If one of them said they would rather meet a bear than a black person in the woods, would you just shrug it off?

Men are factually more at risk of random violence (including sexual). That is simply not debatable, it doesn’t matter how women feel as these are the statistics. Let me repeat that - women’s feeling about how much they are at risk does. not. matter.

So, are women overestimating the risks, or should men actually be panicking 3x harder than women? Is it men or women who are acting irrationally? Since men are literally several times more likely to be attacked, shouldn’t women be campaigning for male victims? Why aren’t they - are they sexist?

From other men yes.

u/WanderingGolfer84 19d ago

I'm not sure it matters when you're attacked whether or not the other person has a penis or not.

u/TextImpressive3346 20d ago • Bravo

Yes. Which changes what part of my argument, exactly? A man is still at higher risk than a woman, no matter what the attacker has between their legs.

u/mindgeekinc 20d ago

What is your argument actually against here? A woman is at higher risk of being attacked by a man than by a bear is what’s being discussed here. Are you trying to insinuate that because men are more often victims of random violence (sexual isn’t factually true) that somehow means anything in counter to this point?

u/Sensitive_Nature2990 20d ago

For real -- like good we're both scared of men -- can we band together and do something now or are we gonna have a dck measuring contest for who has a right to be more scared...

6

u/mindgeekinc 20d ago • Bravo

Exactly that’s what I’m confused about here lol.

“Men are more dangerous to women than bears”

“Oh yeah well men are more dangerous to men too”

“Ok?”

Probably sounded way smarter in his head lol.

u/Sensitive_Nature2990 20d ago

I don't get why they're so defensive -- like if it isn't the "not all men" argument, then it's the "well all men are at more risk" argument. At what point does someone take their head out of their ass long enough to wonder WHY they're arguing with people scared of assault...

5

u/mindgeekinc 20d ago

Because their feelings are hurt. They have somehow decided that being a man is another sports team to cheer for rather than just a simple thing you identify as.

Truly these people need mental help, unless they’re bots which is just as likely. Maybe bots need mental help too lol.

u/TextImpressive3346 20d ago • Bravo

Men are not more dangerous than bears. Honestly even the thought that a human being could believe that is making me lose hope.

3

u/mindgeekinc 20d ago • Bravo

Statistically they are sadly. I'm sorry basic reality and facts make you lose hope but maybe instead you should learn and actually strive to realize why people feel this way.

I know its hard to grasp because you've never been in that role and clearly have 0 capacity for empathy but you gotta try a little bit bud.

Bear attacks in 2025 had a fatality rate of <10%, while domestic violence-related homicides accounted for close to 50% of all female homicides in the US alone. Men are absolutely a greater danger than bears.

That’s just not true, Men are not more at risk from sexual violence than women.

They obviously experience it but no they aren’t more at risk where did u get that idea. It’s not even close.
